New source for body woods and exotics

[Pete skjold]

Well I am flattered, thank you for the kind words. I hope it will sound as good as it looks. I have tried several basses that have the katalox for a fingerboard and really liked it. I just wish I could find more of the stuff

Maybe we'll see a bass with it for next years NAMM show

Pete,

Thank you for sharing your insight. I really respect your opinion, and I look forward to seeing (hearing) what you do with this particular species of wood. You make some fantastic sounding basses, and I am certain that your use of Katalox will be as easy on the eyes as it will be on the ears.

We are both on the opposite sides of Keim. Is making basses your day job by the way?

I always figured the blackwood would have a quality similar to ebony and bloodwood. Bloodwood can be brought to a natural shine, which is very nice, hopefully the blackwood would.

I don't have a day job, so I guess making basses is what I do during the day ( & The night ) .

Bloodwood is a good reference. Blackwood is very dense like bloodwood and bloodwood can sound a bit brittle in the mids but has a great topend. I suspect blackwood will have a sound somewhere between the two.
