what tone would a J bass with a wenge neck, fretless ebony fingerboard and walnut body with two Js produce? Sounds like a great combination

I came across this (but no feedback on how it plays, wondered if anyone had an idea..): [url="http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=3121.0"]http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=3121.0[/url]

Thanks

At a guess i'd say pretty awesome, combined with quality leads and a decent amp obviousy.

I think there was a similar bass in the... ahem... for sale section..... ahem.... not so long ago......

In all seriousness the Walnut body (probably) will weigh a ton, contributing to thunky lows. The neck will be nice and stable (Warmoths have the steel rods going on and Wenge is a preferred choice for necks, early Warwicks?) and the 'board will be the dog's proverbials (all theoretical of course). Certainly looks nice! Have to say the overall sound depends more on the pickup/pre choice rather than the woods. The wood does play a part though, esp. on a fretless.

My Warmoth is a very heavy bass, i think the density of the woods used lends it a more P ish tone than most Js. I always had to dig in a bit more at the bridge to get the typical Jazz sound but it is there. The trade off is massive low end on all the strings. This is the bassiest bass i've had with even lows across the 'board. I'd definitely get a Walnut bodied bass again (funds permitting), plus it looks gorgeous!
