Woody tone

[only4]

Just wondering if there’s a specific frequency that will bring out the woody tone of a bass or is it predominantly from the instrument’s construction/pickup?

Not possible to say. It will vary from instrument to instrument (even the same make/model). No two are exactly alike. You'll just have to experiment to see what works for your instrument and gear. I would say there is unlikely to be a specific frequency, but a spread of them. The way they interact is important.

I know what wood sounds like when I bang my head on a door frame. I wouldn't call it musical.
