Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Just see this video on another thread - don't want to derail that thread, so I started a new thread at around 1:20 Ed clearly pronounces 'basswood' as '[i]bass[/i]wood' instead of 'basswood'. So which is right 'basswood' as in 'bass' or '[i]bass[/i]wood' as in '[i]bass[/i]'? I've always said basswood myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've always pronounced it 'basswood', as in [i]bass[/i], but it could just as easily be 'basswood'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Erm, in the poll, which one is "basswood" and which one is "basswood"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I went with the 'you're scaring me' option. It's just a bit of wood from a tree (and acording to some, there is not a lot left ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
