Where does the tone come from?
Just curious, what has the most impact on the tone of the basses? Is it the tops, the cores, necks, fingerboard, or electronics? Which part carries the biggest factor in tone?

Hi, I am not sure it comes down to any one thing. And changing any one of the components could really effect the sound i.e. pickups, pickup placement, electronics, strings, wood. etc
The only real way to find out I guess, and timely & expensive is get a bass, and change one piece at a time, then replace & try something else & record each time. But I think wood, neck, fingerboard, frets, electronics, pickups, pickup placement will all have an effect on the sound. But all of those things together make "the sound". |

OK, so the core plays a small role in the natural tone of the bass?

It (the core) will also enhance similar frequencies shared between the woods or tone down the opposites between them. |

Maybe from the fingers ?
Just put your bass in some differently experienced hands, and you will discover another sounding ... |

Biggest factor?
All of the above. However, the biggest factor is the player.
