My fault, bad expression.

I think that's what I was asking about. For example, walnut and mahogany are both dark in color (relative to maple). Thus, a 7pc body with maple top, back and core with walnut and mahogany laminates will lose a bit color contrast in my imagination. I've never seen one like that, so I am asking if such a bass has been built.
