EDIT : Nevermind, talking shit.

What? Basswood sucks! Wanna fight about it?

:wub:

Steel has high tensile strenth. It is an AWESOME building material.

Would you now find it strange for me to opt for aluminum or bricks when building something?

Not at all. I'm just saying I know Guthrie is a proponent of mahogany, so I thought it strange that he used basswood.

See the vid I posted. Seems like he kinda likes it :shrug: :lol:

But really, I'm sure there are good cuts of Basswood, just like there are bad cuts of Mahogany.

Just because I find Iga Wyrwal extremely hot doesn't mean I can't find Alyson Hannigan hot as well. You dig?

 

[ferret balls]

Yeah I get what you guys are saying. It makes sense. I like different tonewoods too.

When he talks about mahogany in that vid though, it seems like it's his holy grail of tonewoods. So I thought it was a bit off that he would have a basswood body is all.

Thats all well and good, but the analogy doesn't really work. Basswood is more like the Rosie O'Donnell of guitar woods :fawk:

Weren't there a number of basswood old school Jacksons and Charvels? I mean, obviously, Jackson can do no wrong if it was made before 1992 :yesway:

Holy fuck, it's seven years and two forums later and we're still on the basswood thing? :lol:

Just as stated earlier, basswood is just another wood. It's good for somethings and not so good for others, like extended range.

He played a bunch of Suhrs and liked the basswood ones. John Suhr considers that wood combination the Holy Grail of tone.

Actually John Suhr considers basswood + maple top the Holy Grail of tone.

I don't get Basswood hate at all. It's not bad, it's just another wood. If you don't like it, fair enough - that doesn't make it shit.

:agreed:

There is good basswood, and there's bad basswood. There's good mahogany, there's bad mahogany.

The guitar has a basswood body and a maple top.

I know, but the Suhr quote didn't mention it.

Your face is basswood and maple topped. Now what?

 

[giannifive]

Well, it said "that wood combination." I figured he was referring to the basswood plus maple top of the sig model.

I'm starting to think that 90% of forum posts (on any forum) are correcting misunderstandings and miscommunications...

I think you're wrong about that.

 

[ferret balls]

Is that supposed to be irony?
