Sounds like a call for another Duke O Mark shootout.

You mean for fingerboard woods? I just remember a lecture where Tobias and Sadowsky said it makes the most noticeable difference in sound. I wouldn’t know. It’s interesting to me that my two favorite sounding basses I own both have ebony fingerboards, but that’s hardly proof of anything! I can’t imagine how difficult a true double blind test would be. You’d need two identical basses, you’d want to use the same pickups, so you’d have to swap em out each time. You’d also need the same exact strings, not to mention the same exact performance each time. Someone is more than welcome to do it, but not me! At best you could prove there’s a ‘difference,’ but so what if there was?!

There has to be, otherwise how do you explain the playability and tonal differences between maple and rosewood for example?

[TBird1958]

Not your fault. It's a known fact. I'm just a big tease, flirt and heart breaker.

[Chucky Stiletti]

I don't know yet. Not massive so long as I can go DI.

They want 500 for this...yay?..nay?

 

[Larry V]

Offer them $300. If you have room to move up, maybe settle at $375.

At that point I'd just use one bolt-on bass, and swap the necks.

If the head is decent condition I'd buy them, sell the head, and find a 370 head.

That's what I thought. I'm not an expert on Acoustics. I tried it and liked the low mid shelving. Ironically, no midrange knob.
