Tonal Characteristics of Cirrus Bass Woods

1. Wenge: This wood has very crisp highs and good low-mids. Great for slap and funk. Unfortunately it is no longer offered due to a lack of availability.
2. Bubinga: This wood has a more accentuated midrange with a smooth high end and a warm low end.
3. Walnut: This wood has warm lows and low-mids with a smooth high end.
4. Maple: This wood has an even low end with smooth mids and is bright but not edgy or harsh. Very alive and sensitive.
5. Redwood: This wood is very even across the entire tonal range. Similar to the maple but it is lighter.
