The only real way to find out I guess, and timely & expensive is get a bass, and change one piece at a time, then replace & try something else & record each time.
But I think wood, neck, fingerboard, frets, electronics, pickups, pickup placement will all have an effect on the sound. But all of those things together make "the sound".
The Top, neck and fingerboard. The parts closest to your hands, strings and pickups. The pickups reproduce the sound given to them from the strings that come from the wood. Something like that. I think! .. lol
