Thanks, everyone for your responses. I was just curious about the wood..... I don't play bass much, except when I'm running through my 8 track digital recorder. I play mostly a Tele or sometimes a Strat in my band. I have used a Dano reissue '58 Longhorn since I got it in '98, also through my recorder. I bought the CV '60s bass because I had read how good the whole CV line was and I thought that some day I will be playing more bass in the band. So I don't even know what it sounds like through an amp with a speaker. It does sound a tad thin on the 8 track, when compared to the Dano ... It doesn't record as well.... not as deep sounding and without the punch of my friends ash 73 Am. Fender P-bass. So thanks... I'm assured now... Eventually, when the economy comes back, I'll get the Fender '62s..... And some flat wounds, which I've never tried before....... R
