Thanks, sure I'll take #2. That entire bass is black walnut except the skunk stripe on the back of the neck.

Need to get a better picture but here is mine

Very Nice! I have member #2 if you'd like it. Beautiful bass.

Super interesting. What's going on with the concentric knob and switch by the input jack on that p bass?

I replaced the stock preamp with an Aguilar preamp. Stacked treble/bass, passive tone, volume, and the switch is for passive/active operation.

Sweet. Is walnut heavy compared to, say, ash or alder? I don't know if I've ever held any walnut bass, Fender or otherwise.

I'm not eligible, unfortunately, but if you likey walnut, check out this build thread over on the Luthier's Corner.

It's a heavy wood, most of these all walnut '82 Precision Specials are in the 10-11 lb. range. Mine is a bit lighter at just under 10 lbs. but it's no lightweight.

I bought one of these brand new in '83 and to this day maintain that it was the best built Fender bass I've ever owned.

Now, I normally don't join clubs, but since this one was started by @gsgbass who sports some great lyrics in his avatar, I just have to dive in...

My '70 Gibson EB-0L in Walnut, the (Blackberry-grade) picture was taken when I first got it. It currently sports a Hipshot bridge and is tuned BEAD with Le Bella Super Steps rounds, 70-128.

And a more recent shot from the back

Crazy! I just started a thread on building myself a walnut (painted - it's plain old alder under the tint) Jazzmaster Bass and your thread shows up!

 

[Old Blastard]

This is Mom. She's a swamp ash body with Claro walnut top made by Andrew Drake in honor of my mom who was a mezzo soprano/classical pianist before Alzheimer's.

This bass is incredible. It's 32 scale, zero-fret, ebony fretboard with two Bart Js and four individual piezos, one for each saddle. The Fishman sound card pre amp eats batteries, but it sounds so good I bought rechargeables.

Pushic Walnut with Claro Walnut top

[Medford Bassman]

Please add me. Just got this beauty from Kiesel. Claro Walnut top and solid Walnut body.

 

[Liam Wald]

If you have a bass with a Walnut finish, post a photo or two, and join up. It doesn't mater what brand bass, as long as it has a Walnut finish.
My Gibson SG Std. Walnut. I'll snag member #1. If you'd like a member number, post a Walnut bass photo, and say you'd like a number.

Looks more like Mahogony???

 

[Greg Waldon]

Sterling Sub4 that is an absolute dream to play. Ordered this used and it was listed as Translucent Red but this is what I got. I was not disappointed, that's for sure.

 

[johndb]

1977 Spector SB-1...converted to fretless before I got it. Solid Black Walnut wings.

 

[johndb]

This thread is slightly confusing. There's a big difference between "walnut finish" basses and basses made of Walnut wood. So far, we have both here.

 

[Old Blastard]

I'm good with either. But I'm weird like that.
