The double bass has cracks on the ribs and on top.

I was wondering if this, anegre wood, have the same sonic quilities as normal maple (?) I suppose they wouldn't have used something that is not as good as what they use work with? Looking pretty is one thing, sound is.other....

I've heard that this basses from this perĂ*od, are not as good, compared with their past work.

thank you for your attention!

I can't blow up the pics but looks like maple but low figured. Anigre is different. My pics here is Anigre, ribs and back. The neck is maple..
