The double bass has cracks on the ribs and on top.

I was wondering if this, anegre wood, have the same sonic quilities as normal maple (?) I suppose they wouldn't have used something that is not as good as what they use work with? Looking pretty is one thing, sound is.other....

I've heard that this basses from this perÃ*od, are not as good, compared with their past work.

thank you for your attention!

I can't blow up the pics but looks like maple but low figured. Anigre is different. My pics here is Anigre, ribs and back. The neck is maple..

Hello !

Thank you for the answer Ken!

Indeed when you look the double bass, the back wood looks not so clear, I find difficult to see the details of the wood...

Ken, by low figured maple, you mean low quality?

Low figure means only less visible tiger stripes. Not quality but visual.
