Electric Upright Bass Database

On my own EUB, I used a solid chunk of 2" thick Ash, and then added a 1/4" layer of curly maple on the face.  I find that as in electrics, the ash is a good, solid, 'thunky' sound, and the curly maple face, while adding beauty, seems to give a bit of brightness and clarity.  Another good possibility is mahogany, preferrably Honduran - that should give a very solid, warm tone.  I think in retrospect, I would now have chosen mahogany to counter the effects of the piezo-pickup's tendency to be a little too clean.
