Mango top on chambered body

Sign in to disble this ad
First of all, hello - my first post on these boards.

I'm considering purchasing some figured mango to use as a top for a chambered solid body. The only time I've seen mango used as a tonewood is on Hawaiian guitars and Ukeleles. Is there anyone out there that knows whether or not mango would be a good tonewood for a bass? Thanks!

Welcome aboard, You will find the search function really usefull in these situations, Mango has been discussed quite often recently on this board:

Mango Bass Completed!

Mango Bass Part II

Guess the Wood!

Mango Body

What Are Your LEAST Favorite Woods To Work With?

When you search for a word also it will show you the thread that that word pops up in and even hightligt it so you can scan through the thread quickly and see only the posts that have the words you searched for in it (mango in this case...)

Welcome aboard, Be sure to post pics of your work or we'll kick you out.

Y'know, as soon as I made my post, I thought, "umm, have you done a search on these boards for it?" So thanks for the reminder. I've read all of the posts you posted the links for. I'm not completely braindead, but sometimes I can convincingly act that way.
