Default Les Paul Double Cut Bass

Hello friends:

It´s the Les Paul Double Cut the same bass than the Money Bass?
Or the Money bass is a cheaper version?

I´m waiting for a beautiful Root Beer DC Bass.

Thank you!

The Money bass features a think walnut laminate between the maple top and body. The Double cut does not.

Thank you for fast response!

Well... I have seen cheaper prices for the Money bass, and more expensive prices for the DC.

I thought that the DC is expensiver than Money Bass for the AA maple tops (perhaps in the Money Bass the maple isn´t AA??).

The sound seems the same...

Both have AA maple tops, the only difference is the walnut plate which makes the GoW (not the regular Money basses which like the Doublecut do not feature a walnut toneplate) Money basses sound blurrier and less airy than a reg Doublecut/Money.
