The biggest thing to change a guitars tone is the amp and setting being played. Even they can vary with the location and micing if used.

I think even that is minor compared to the techniques and mood of the player. Cranking up the treble on the amp is less effective than someone really drawing the max out of the high notes at a clean setting.

I disagree.

Then again, I'm a high gain, all treble player.

Like those 'all bass, no treble" stickers I see slapped in the stalls of the venues I go to?

I was considering "The Almost Good" as a band name. And "Accepting Beer".

One of the best band names must be "50 cent" - the guy describes his entire vocal range.

I'd literally be in a world of hell without my Alembic bass. I still want a 1st generation Precision...but when I go to the music store to check out other basses...it's immediately obvious why I spent so much on my instrument. You pay for clarity and sustain.

Many differing opinions expressed. So, one more favoring the influence of wood on tone with emphasis on the neck...
