Which Bass Neck Sounds Better? Maple vs Wenge
Hey everyone! Since I had these two nearly identical basses, I thought it would be fun to shoot a side by side video to show off what kind of difference your neck/fretboard wood make to the overall tone of a bass. For this video, we're taking a hard look at Maple, a classic, and Wenge, the newcomer. Let me know what you think of the differences in the comments!

Просмотров 8714 месяца назад
When I created QuadBass, I wanted a plugin that would sit perfectly in a dense modern metal mix, but I also wanted one that I could whip out for any Rush bass cover. In this video, I'll be showing off the versatility of QuadBass by recreating 5 classic Geddy Lee bass tones with it.

    Wow, this is a review I’ve been looking for so long…swamp ash body Wenge neck 5 string finger style 80s jam (rather than just slap or metal or blues in other videos). Thank you! There is a big difference btw the tones, Wenge has much more bottom, thick, fat. I think if change finger board to Indian rosewood on the Wenge one, may sound even warmer/better? 😊

      Yes! While it sometimes gets overshadowed by the ‘72 I was able to pick up a few years ago, this bass still plays amazingly, and it’s also the first pro level bass I ever owned. It was my big Christmas gift way back in 2006 🎄

    This was very interesting! I agree, I feel like the maple sounded better and more "Geddy" than the Wenge when clean-ish, but I liked the Wenge better distorted. Although they both sounded awesome and I would probably choose based on appearance really! 😄

    I tend to care less and less about these small tonal differences as of late. Your 1972 Fender Jazz sounds so good I want to steal it. But then on some of the covers you're using a Strandberg, and it sounds equally fantastic (so do your Saito basses). In the end, it's all about your technique and feel of the music. (But yeah, maple neck winz 4sure).

    • @JoeCalderone
