Where does the tone come from?
Just curious, what has the most impact on the tone of the basses? Is it the tops, the cores, necks, fingerboard, or electronics? Which part carries the biggest factor in tone?

Contra bass
I read somewhere (probably Wikipedia) that you are the first Luthier to SUCCESSFULLY build an operating Contrabass. My question is how come you stopped making them?

New Woods?
Just curious, are there any new woods that you have in mind to work on basses? I see that the website says that a lot of woods are limited or discontinued.

4, 5, or 6 string
For those who own multiples basses of different strings, how do you decide which one to play? When is a good time for a 4 string, 5 string, or 6 string? Or is it just random?
