The western maple core would give a smoother deeper sound for jazz.

Similar but not as thick sounding as the maple core would be.

Being that the sound comes mainly from the Top in my experience and the core flavors the Top's sound I would have to say it would add a little edge that the Walnut usually has rather than adding spread which the Maple would do.

Thanks Ken, So, would you say the W/W/W would be a more "aggressive" toned bass than the W/M/W? Mainly I play Urban Gospel and Smooth Jazz.
