This one had me questioning what an "inside out" bass is?

Normally brown basses have a walnut top and back and myrtle core.  This one has the woods reversed.  So the inside wood (myrtle) is on the outside (front and back), and the outside wood (walnut) is on the inside as the core wood :)

I like these a lot better than the normal way, very cool - thanks for the explanation!
