just looking for some info on a few woods I've been looking at.
Kingwood-any advice accepted
African Sandalwood/Tambootie- Very heavy and hard wood, supposed to be a substitue to african black wood except it is heavier and not as hard (inference to a warmer tone). Any further info or personal experience would help
Mgugure/African Leadwood- Very Dark, Very Heavy and hard wood. Any info at all would be helpful, description suggests a warm yet articulate tone.
I'm gonna have a custom built some time down the road so I'm doing research, looking to build a fretless neck-through, strung F#-B-E-A (low to high), single passive neck humbucker, minimal controls. Looking for tone woods, that are very warm and dark with a lot of bass (considering rosewoods and mahogany just looking for superior alternitives). Not out to make a versatile bass just a one trick pony that does the lowend to the extreme with no compromises. (understand wood is just a compliment bu as i said no compromises). Thanks for any info in advance. \m/
