So I'm very close to finalizing a custom bass idea but I need some clarification.
I know I want the bass to be a gritty, grinding, bone rattling, sound in your nightmares kind of sound. A slap machine freak of nature. Much like the tone in this video

But I'm not a fan of the all maple look so I was wondering if I replaced the woods as such...
Body-Walnut
Fretboard-Bloodwood
Neck- Hard maple (I'm sure I gotta have some)
Would I still be getting the tone I'm looking for? I know there are many other mitigating factors, but does anyone have experience with these woods?
I've found a little bit on heir tone qualities on the net and they seem to point in the direction I'm going for but firsthand experience is always better.
