I like Mahogany for riffing, as it has a darker sound adding weight to the tone!

Mahagony is my favorite too - warm and depth sound kind of natural

I really need to get into how different woods sound.
From what I noticed so far - I have a preference for Maple neck on a bass guitar. Also, my current axe is made out of swamp ash and I like it's sound! Anyone can enlighten me with sound properties of Swamp Ash wood? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Hey Bogdan! Check this out:
Swamp Ash has a striking, deep grained appearance and looks great with translucent and clear finishes. A nice translucent finish on Swamp Ash can be just as interesting as flamed maple, and less expensive. Swamp Ash has some fine tonal properties too, with a lighter midrange and a sweeter top end than Alder. Consequently, Swamp Ash works well with pickups that have a lot of midrange and top end. hope it helps Cosmin I really need to get into how different woods sound.
