Naturally dark wood

+1 on Cocobolo, rosewood (Brazilian "Rio" the finest), European/American walnut, wenge.
Thuja is nice too, used it on my custom "Stingray" (pre-EB MM neck), looks lighter in the pic than it is because of flash. Used African blackwood for the fretless f/b, which is lovely but a phenomenally heavy wood!

Here's RetroRon's new rosewood KingBass from Stati.com & my cocobolo SII...

Oh Mannnnn, I just love that SII - I've dreamt of owning one since I first started playing in the eighties.
