Most people will say alder is a little softer/warmer/rounder, and ash is a little sharper, mid focused, punchier.
From what I've read in the big book, Leo did not have a preference, and used what was at hand unless there was an aesthetic difference-ie strpied ash for clear finishes.
 
These are my axes; I've had the fretted since 1994 & just got the fretless.

I have an SB2, and a 51 reissue with an added J pup, both setup vol/vol like this.
I don't particularly miss the tone knob...to an extent you can use right hand positioning and technique as a tone knob...flats too;)
