2-The Ribs are 'Laminated' or 'doubled' and look to be original to the Bass judging by the oldest oxidation inside. The outer layer of the Ribs (2 of them only, one per side) are 'flat cut' Burled Veneer. The inner layer is cross grain (from Top to Back) Spruce. The Tone from the Ribs either tapping them or when playing the bass is sweet. The Sound is evident even from the sides of the bass.



So, what makes a great Bass sound great? I haven't a clue..

I knew that bass had laminated ribs, I could tell by the cracking. It is very interesting to see it in that old of an isntrument.
