Best Woods for a Bass

Recommended Posts

I would like everyones opinions on the wood used for making basses; what different characteristics do different woods have, I'm thinking mainly tonal qualities rather than weight etc. For example ash, walut, mahogany etc

I'm plotting to have one made at the end of summer and I want to gather as much opinion as I can.

As mentioned in this thread there are plenty of web resources:

I found warmoth particularly good.

I like Mahogany, Alder and Maple, but choice of p'ups and preamp will always affect your sound far more than the body and neck wood choices IMHO.
