Funny you should mention Ace of Spades. Lemmy's rick was walnut, and lemmy knows best.

But seriously, when I got her home first thing I did was play Ace of Spades through my Mesa, I sent Travis a quick and dirty clip of it and it's spot on. There was such a huge difference in tone between the walnut bass and the others I've played. It could be that it's a sating finish, could be the tone wood, could just be how I played each of them, I really don't know. But, I can say for sure this one in particular is more open and clear sounding, and the pickups have much more growl and grind to them compared to the painted 4003 basses I've played. No joke, I mean there was a massive difference, to the point that the ruby and mapleglo ones I played with all the tone up sounded dark and muddy.
