My first 5 string, and she's put up with a lot of foolishness since she came to music school with me that year.

Is that Tulip Wood?

It's Walnut. Remarkable variation in Walnut, my other basses are Walnut tops but much darker.

Nice how wood grain enhances body design and horns, congrats

It is not Walnut; it is amazing Walnut

I just saw this bass today, it's really a cool piece of wood. Walnut is funny in that it's about the only wood we use that gets lighter over time. Everything else, even Maple, gets darker.
