Download Episode 1
Hey guys,
Today is the release date for Episode 1 of my podcast, Low-End Luthiers! In this episode, I discuss all different types of wood used for bass guitars. I go over the things you need to determine in order to choose what type of wood your instrument will be made from. I personally chose Swamp Ash for the body I am working on. Swamp Ash is a softer wood, so the sound isn't as bright as other woods. Swamp Ash will also let me either stain it or paint it outright (I'm actually planning a blue sparkle finish for the bass). Also, I have a bad back, so Ash is a lighter wood. I'm hopeful this will make a difference! If you want to check out the various woods I discuss on the podcast, feel free to follow the partner link to Stew Mac's website. They have great descriptions of the various woods they sell. Bass Body Woods.
Well, here it goes! The premiere episode of Low-End Luthiers! Enjoy!!
