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 ... |

Indeed, but to get a sertain sound you'll need a typical kind of pickup.
Sure, fingers make tonal difference, but they can't make a single coil in bridge position sound like a mudbucker in neck position. I'd argue that, maybe the biggest, factors is position and kind of pickup/pickups. |

My two neck through Ken Smiths are constructed from different woods, certainly sound different but you can easily recognize the Ken Smith signature tone in both. Opinion. |
