I've been occasionally looking at No Treble's Bass of the Week ever since Rob's bass was featured last year. IMHO most of them since then have ranged from butt-ugly to hideous. But this week's bass caught my eye.
Alpine Guitar Black Bison
I'm a sucker for anything walnut. Not sure how French walnut differs from the North American walnuts but that sure has some nice looking grain.
Yes, it's a Fender copy. Don't like it? That's fine. Embrace your singlecuts with their hideous mutant elongated upper bouts.

I like walnut also, in fact I like turd brown P-basses. The low weight on that one surprised me.

I saw it and I was only confused by the name, because of the Burns Black Bison.

I always liked that mocha color Fender used to offer.

That's a really nice looking bass.
As Colin Chapman suggested, "Simplify, then add lightness." It works as well in bass guitars as it does in race cars.

That is a beautiful bass.
French Walnut Wood is also known as English walnut, Persian Walnut, Common Walnut, and Circassian walnut. Its scientific name is Juglans regia. It is found in abundance in the Southwest of Asia and Europe. This wood has many properties. It has a wavy grain and medium coarse texture. From

Apparently different from native American Walnut: "In America, it has commonly been known as English walnut to distinguish it from our native species." From:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juglans_regia
