Beautiful bass! I love that Myrtle body wood!
Mario; Mica talks about Myrtle bodies on the
Body Woods page. Here's what she said about Myrtle:
The greenish color of Myrtle isn't the only distinction of this mighty wood from the Pacific northwest. On an Alembic bass, Myrtle keeps the extreme highs out of the picture and fills the bottom with solid lows. We compare it to the sound of Mahogany but with less on the top end and slightly less on the lows. Used mainly in Brown Basses and paired with a warm Mahogany neck, there is no shortage of bottom end. Myrtle is the standard body wood for the Brown Bass and an optional body wood for any Alembic.
