Cool but..

I would just like to say that the Core is an ingredient to be mixed with the top and back woods. Then, you can choose the core from a few different woods depending on whether you want to support the sound of the core, take some edge off it or add some edge. The Core in my opinion with the way we make basses is part of the sound by coloring or opposing the sound of the Top woods.
