Not stiff enough? Hard enough? It is nice wood to work with and I was building a Walnut topped bass and wanted to use some Walnut in the neck to blend the neck and body together visually...Thanks .....t
walnut is used all the time in necks....... I have a p-bass copy with an all walnut neck and it's been fine for years.
My Cirrus is Walnut/maple neck Neck-Thru (Walnut body, Bubinga top, Pau Ferro fretboard to finish the description.)
Hands down the absolute finest playing P bass I've ever laid hands on was an 83 Walnut P special with the twin oval split humbuckers. It had a wide flat walnut neck with as low an action as I've ever played. Stable as granite too.
