Black Korina

[Rene]

Would you consider black Korina or Limba for a bass body and why?

cross-posting (same post in multiple forums) is highly discouraged at TB

but like I said in my other reply -it sounds a lot like ... um ... wood, and the pickups/strings you choose to go with it

and according to Wilser, it also has a very pronounced mid-hump (but he never says whether it's and upward or downward hump )

all the best,

I suppose the opposite of mid-hump would be mid-divot. For instance, using MDF as a body wood generates a noticeable mid-divot.

you better trademark that before Wilser see it and grabs if for himself

Black korina (a.k.a. black limba) is a beautiful wood that works and sounds a lot like mahogany, and is right now in very very very very very very very very very very short supply in widths & thicknesses required to make even a 2-piece body.
