Wood? Dont get me started - I love it passionately!
There are so many species, relatives of species, cousins of relatives of species and so on. With literally thousands of different species of trees wood is a very special and varied source of material!
It also must be remembered that it is also extremely hard to define even one single species accurately because often two pieces from the same species are very different in appearance and even working properties!
A lot of members here at the club think that Alembic have a massive choice of woods available but in fact, despite actually having a good varied choice of options, they are really skimmining the surface when you consider all the exotic (and not so exotic) species in the world!
Schedua is also called Ovangkol and is considered, along with Cocobolo, to be one of the very finest choices available for electric bass tone.
