Hi there, it is walnut, I ordered this originally... subtle points like the decal is dark brown not black, the headstock is non standard proportionate size etc etc.. she's called 'The Angel' (name given by Bernie due to the Angel Wing figuring on the horns)... these facings were the last of the 'slices' take from the piece of wood originally use to make Laurie Cottle's custom Spitfire/Rumour hybrid. It's just a peach.
At this price it's an absolute bargain; you will not get more for your money if you want this calibre of instrument.
Best of luck with the sale; whoever buys this bass will know they've spent really well.
