    Tone woods are a complex area... As Woks pointed out, i made a few experimental Jarrah Basses.... Apart from having to be built like the Hulk to make it through one set, let alone a gig, they have no tone to speak of...
    So in the end it comes to the tap test............
    No, i dont want to even attempt to explain this as it is all about the ear and hearing....... :/

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Nice one, thanks for all your input guys. I tend to take it for granted, but when u can get a bunch of opinions on something like this, it's awesome. Bottom line,I'm just going to have get a kit and experiment. Cheers

    LOL. 'Built like the hulk'. I can imagine how much a jarrah axe weighs. For many years I had a Maton JB-4 (not the fretless - unfortunately) and it was damn heavy. After two sets my shoulder would be killing me. In the end I had to get rid of it.
