All maple neck through????

[PJ all day]

i was looking into making an all maple neck through(I love the look) not sure of the body wood but i believe the maple will be to thin sounding am i correct

do you think it would help if it had a rosewood fretboard and a mahogany or swamp ash body?

The Pedulla Thunderbass uses maple necks and soft maple body wings to very good results. You may want to check one out to hear the combination for yourself.

for the most part the more solid a bass is the less resonance it will have. the more dense the wood the more solid it will be. a rickenbacker is good exsample of a solid bass. that maple is some hard ****! i don't know about you but i love a solid bass. i think all the neck throughs i've built for myself kinda reflect that. anyways i'll tell ya the things that make the most differance are the construction , the electronics and most of all the strings. oh and by the way i build custom basses so if you need anything, info or whatever just let me know.

Aria Pro II SB1000 is a maple neck through as well.

My first build was a all maple neck through with ebony fingerboard.

It was a rather heavy bass with some 'trebly' tone, but nothing a good EQ could not fix.

It was my first build equipped with EMG Select J pickups, wood bought from Home Depot (except fingerboard)... you get the picture, I was (and I'm still) poor...

Now the bass is firewood....
