What type of wood is this?

[IdealWay]

Can anyone ID this wood? I haven't seen it on a Modulus Q6 before. It smells really good, like cedar

Maybe...


Hmmmm...


Cedar?

 

[JazzyJames]

Alder, I believe.

 

[The Dave]

Mahogany? Jotoba?

 

[bThumper38]

Isn't that chechan with matching fretboard?

 

[Swin]

is it padauk? looks reddish enough?

 

[LM Bass]

Spanish Cedar.

 

[David Xanatos]

Looks like butcher block with an ebenol fretboard.

is that the natural color or is it stained?

I agree with JazzyJames. It sure looks like alder a lot to me. I do a lot of woodworking and the grain is very similiar to the alder that I've used for furniture and turnings. Alder is a very stable light wood. A little soft though. Watch out on bumping it against anything hard.

I saw it was Modulus and my 1st thought was a piece of; not very figured, chechen......

I would so buy that bass then. I think all of us would!

That is all natural baby, no stain. I know the fretboard is Chechen, but the body is definitely not. Chechen is more brown and has a distinct grain pattern.

Also, the hue and color of the actual wood changes slightly in different lighting situations and when viewing it from different angles. This might help narrow it down.

anyone know?

 

[Figjam]

Ill guess alder.

You got so many different awnsers! I think you should consider making a pool.

The first thing that came to my mind was Alder, might be wrong though!

Good luck in finding out!
