IHMO your 3A grade woods equals to other builder's 5A grade woods because you set your standards so high.

The bass shown is a Claro variety I believe and within the standard grade for that model. The picture looks to be a 3a or so.

Any difference in sound? Describe. Thanks.

The BT Black Tiger is a bit more compressed sound and the Maple topped beauty a bit more open sounding.

Both are somewhat a ying yang of each other and l love both of them equally
