Thanks Ken, this is great info.

I have two more questions:
  • What are the tone differences between these woods for the neck? Will the newer basses using only Shedua and Morado have a different tone than the current or older Smiths using Bubinga and PH?

  • Will the Morado neck laminate be more stable than Shedua or the others due to the oil in the wood? My understanding is that necks shift due to moister changes and wood that is more oily would seem to not have as much change. True? So would this be why the Mordao is on the Elite (higher end materials, more expensive, etc)?
