About the only page I've come across so far that has truly usable wood
descriptions (i.e., discusses both neck and body woods and how they
interact) is Mike Tobias' at:

http://mtdbass.com/products.html

Limited to his offerings, but helped me decide to put a black korina body
with my wenge neck.

The Warmoth site has a fairly comprehensive list.

Here's my list of "wood" sites:
http://www.mtdbass.com/html/qfortone.html
http://www.anexotichardwood.com/
http://www.kensmithbasses.com/woodpages/woodpagecontents.html
http://hvgb.net/~tonewood/TONEWOODGRADES.html
http://www.edenhaus.com/woods.htm
http://www.woodmosaic.com/
http://www.warmoth.com
http://edromanguitars.com/wood/main.htm
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~dace/guitar/AVWoods.FAQ.html#woo
http://www.kingbass.com/woodphoto.html
http://www.angelfire.com/tn/briansbass/page007.html

I always default to the MTD article though, as some other
sites oppose opinions.

Hmm Shouldn't that be placed on the agb site?

PS. you could also throw this one in there somewhere:
It's a series/parallel wiring diagram (That's not available anywhere else)
with separate volume controls for each pickup. I'll try to draw one up with
a global volume and tone pot sometime soon for you.

Well, it's been discussed, but... I'm just too lazy :-)
And actually, since the site has more of a pro mindset from
PLL'C, I'd doubt I'm still the "link meister."

You better keep one eye open when you're sleeping under Ma LeCompte's roof

I need to sort out the links and FAQs - they're getting a bit messy and
unorganized. Notice I said 'I need to...' No bugger else will. Bloody lazy

Well... I couldn't figure out how to add to existing groups,
like the ones Ted started, so that was part of my problem. :-)

I'd be happy to supply my word docs to the cause, but I'm
afraid I'm just not web/mouse/modem/clicketyclick savvy
enough to have the overview of how it can become neat
organized and easy.

Sorry to let ya' down.

Ted wrote the FAQs - I put them up there. I put the links up there in the
first place too. See... me, me, me, me - lol - just kidding. Everyone's
contributions go a long way and are appreciated :-)

Don't worry Fluffy - it's all a bit of a mess right now. In the not too
distant future I will take a day out and revamp the FAQs and links and make
the administration of them a bit easier. I just need to tweak the code a
bit. When it's less hassle to add a link, it will be more incentive to do
it, huh?!

> Sorry to let ya' down.

Ya didn't. You know I love doing the stuff anyways!

Oh crikey, I've hijacked another thread... :-/

Meh... the thread had already run it's course.
I'd be glad to give it (links) another try sometime.
Let me know when you've had your fun :-)
