Hey guy's, I have a question about the different wood choices for the body of the bass. Like Alder, Ash and Mahogany. The difference in sound and stuff. Just...
Here's my take: mahogany has a specific signature that's a bit more mid-rangey...it's a great wood for a fretless. It's an open sounding wood, but also a bit...
Yeah! I agree with you about the difference in the sound of the body woods.But alder got a more tranparent tone then mah. and ash.The treb. are more clear and...
In general, I agree with what everyone has said. But how one hears the different tonal qualities of these woods is very subjective. To me, alder is much less...
Wise words Erich, wise words. I have quite a lot of experience with Mahogany and mahogany-cored basses and definitely echo what has been said about it's...

Thanks for the info Stig - an amazing instrument and concept! If I'd seen the picture get posted I would definitely have commented. A bit strange because, as...
I certainly have - if it had frets I'd be in pain myself, though the quilted maple is not my favourite figuring. Love the 28 "fret" positions though. Anything...
... ** i've used it in a few all improv things and it's worked really well as one of three basses that i took (fretted, fretless, 12- string - - i tend to...
Yeah, That Pres 6 fretless is/was Joel's own bass. I spoke to him about it a long time ago when he was just thinking of selling it. It's a beautiful piece and...

The wood issue is always an interesting subject to discuss. First of all, it really is important to keep in mind that one can only decribe tendencies of how a...
Great post Dominik!!!!!! I deeply agree with what you say:this is exactly the way I approach to the choice of my basses. And yes......sound is always a very...

Aalaap, I've got a Fodera 6-string Anthony Jackson contrabass (mine has 36in scale, 28 frets). But I think for you, you should consider something with maybe no...
Yes, 19mm sounds correct. It does make for a w-i-d-e, imposing neck. My Imperial 6 is a 36" scale with 28 frets. It's a bit of a beast but yet VERY playable....
Aalaap, I noticed from your email that you said you "love the fender Precision Tone". If a Fodera sounds too expensive, you might consider an instrument made...
You can get an affordable Fodera and still obtain a great P-Bass tone if you stick to the recipe.Have the guys build you a bolt on with an alder body and a...
