Rosewood or maple?

Which kind of neck do u think is cooler. Rosewood or maple

 

[Ric5]

Bubinga is the coolest!

 

[ClassicJazz]

BOTH!

 

[DWBass]

Depends on the color and grains. I prefer maple boards. A nice dark rosewood is good looking too!

 

[Staccato]

Hmmm, I never thought about it.

2 of each sounds about right...

Wow!! What a provocative and original thread.....Hmmmm...rosewood or maple, maple or rosewood....geez. I'm gonna have to give this some serious thought and come back to it later!

I say both... neither are better, but each fits a specific tonal profile (or brings additional tonal qualities) that you can rely on when attempting to produce a particular sound.

That's why I have both.

I see your Bubinga and raise you a Goncalo Alves.

Also, Pau Ferro. (Light colored.)
