Lennard,

Is that Chestnut on top of your Imperial? That's a great looking bass!

 

[lamarjones]

Shame.
But all good!
I just found a post in which...

I know there is a search function, but man right after Jason said he didn't want to announce it?

Had to throw the pic of Felix playing it....

Yes sir. I picked it up at the 2007 NAMM show when Fodera was gracious in taking me along with them. You don't even want to know how little I paid for it back then either.... You couldn't get a Monarch 4 bolt-on for what I paid for this baby. But, you live and you learn.

Okay, that just may be the most beautiful bass I have EVER seen. Wow.

The point was not in any way to backstab Just thumpin' or anyone else.
Since it had been said explicitly already though,-by Anthony Jackson himself-and people seem interested,I thought nothing of it.
I did not use and would not have used any outside stuff,only what was already posted on TB.
But just in case anyone else sees this as a touchy issue I've altered my post.

I'm surprised they didn't kick you out of law school with that kind of talk.....

Ok . I have a aquestion . What kind of a tonal impact does having a chestnut top have on the instrument ? I'm particularly reffering to matt Garrison's model which has an Walnut body with a chestnut top and I'm not suire abo0ut this but I think its either got a 5 piece maple or ash neck with an ebony fingerboard .

I am surprised I wasn't kicked out but for reasons more to do with a general lack of interest.

 

[vibhas_2310]

Another question about the chestnut top, what wood is it similar to as fat as tonal impact gies ?? I mean like maple or koa or walnut ot something along thos lines...

Thanks,
Vibhas

Chestnut is a very light weight, low density wood. It has a minimal tonal impact -- kind of like a haze filter used to protect a camera lens...that's the best analogy I can conjure up after a 14 hour work day with a sick wife and son at home...

Anyway, we have replaced Chestnut with Buckeye Burl -- they are similar in their impact on our instruments from a tone perspective in that they are a somewhat neutral filter that allows the tone of the underlying body wood, neck and FB shine through...

Hope this helps!

Not even really sure what this whole thread refers to...

That said, anything in the public domain is totally fair game. Please do NOT think anything of me wishing that something would or wouldn't be shared...it's a small world and information moves fast...if it's out there, it's out there!

It's all good...
