Which pic is maple, which is rosewood?

[Rattman]

Uhhhh... can ya give a us 'warm up' question first? Maybe start with a "no brainer" so we stand a better chance figuring out the correct answer.. alright? Because they pretty much look the same

 

[colorblindbass]

see the sad thing is they really dont have any coloration to me, they look almost the same lol.

ones grey, and the other ones a diffrent shade of grey

 

[Jeremy Crockett]

or you could just do this... example

is this the 6 of spades and the 9 of hearts or the 9 of hearts and the 6 of spades? or both/neither/something else entirely?

some of you guys are going to be confused by this one!!!

Wow! You're really good at PhotoShop. You made two basses look like color-inversed playing cards.

I humbly bow to you.





(PS I'm not fooled, I know for a fact that both necks are purpleheart.)

 

[rockr4Christ]

AHH!!!When do we get the answers??? This is driving me insane trying to tell which is which...soo hard!

 

[ShirazBop]

Man, I think pic 1 is barefoot ebony in need of a haircut...

 

[dangnewt]

Anybody ever try Rosewood Syrup on pancakes?

Is it better than Maple syrup?

Depends - are we talking Vermont, New Hampshire or Quebec? Grade A or B?

 

[Flintc]

Yes

 

[Nikoubis]

3 pages and nobody has posted this...

 

[PilbaraBass]

actually...it's a trick, guys!

the first bass is purpleheart and the second bass is wenge...

 

[grommit]

Clearly the photos are shopped.

I'm thinking NY Grade B is the darkest but my favorite Maple Syrup is Vermont Fancy.

 

[gjooro]

Hmm, this is a heavy one. I think I'll vote both..
Ohh, now I get it, the second one only has fender decal and the first one also has one that says "jazz bass". Second must be fake

 

[Obet922]

So is there an actual answer to this question?

 

[MtManiac]

You guys are all nuts, as if you can't tell the difference. The first one is clearly rosewood, you can tell by how much warmer the temperature in the room is in that pic. Jeesh... :scowl:

 

[waseok]

Haha, u put 2 exactly same basses (i heard the sound clips!! so u cant fool me) and u want ppl to tell u the
difference?
NICE TRY!


P.S. Nice playing with contrast in Photoshop tho..

 

[nemo]

Please, do tell !!

 

[FenderHotRod]

Hah...lol....Another great thread....Had me all messed up thinking most of the people at talkbass was on crack... The


answer is on page two....

 

[wdinc01]

Yes, brought the total to 60% for the first option. When you vote with the majority, how can you lose?!

 

[lpdeluxe]

...I always get these "blind" tests wrong!

 

[yellofury]
