Warwick Pro Series Corvette: Bubinga or Ash body?

Want to get this sweet piece but wanted an opinion on each body types available. I have seen a few people favouring the Bubinga wood, but I've played on the ash wood and it feels just as good. Opinions?

I haven't played a Bunginga one. What I've heard is that it has a darker sound or something. The Ash ones sound good enough to me and I prefer the lighter weight. So I'd go with that.

I'm also looking into getting a Pro Series Corvette because the Ash one I'm playing now is kinda heavy. Where are you located and where are you going to buy it if you don't mind my asking? I will most likely get mine on eBay. There is a new Warwick Dealer selling Pro Series on eBay. I contacted them and they said they have been an aurhorized Warwick Dealer for a year. They are located in Virginia in the US.

Having had both an ash corvette FNA and a bubinga corvette id say for tone get the bubinga but if weight is a big deal ash is a little lighter. Ash didn't sound bad but the bubinga definitely had more of that warwick low mid thickness to it.
