Willie King Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I bet is sounds great. I have a 2001 L-00 Blues King with bubinga back and sides and it is killer. Great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacamartin Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 " an incredible closet find, a 2001 J45 Bubinga" Hoowee!!!!!! Pics? Bubinga is a fabulous b/s tone wood.

BluesKing777 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I also have the Bubinga Blues King, which is a fairly heavy little guitar, so the J45 in Bubinga would be very heavy, no? BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Sounds like a very interesting guitar. Definitely like to hear it and see it. Congrats on your guitar. Enjoy it for many years. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasAK Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Where does Bubinga sonically fall in comparison with the standard Maple, Rosewood, and Mahogany?, strong mids and mellow highs, piercing highs and booming lows, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacamartin Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Where does Bubinga sonically fall in comparison with the standard Maple, Rosewood, and Mahogany?, strong mids and mellow highs, piercing highs and booming lows, etc. It is closer to Rosewood than Mahogany, more of a best of both wood worlds. Bubinga is far stronger with enhancing tone than is Maple. Bubinga is also physically "heavier" than mahogany, rosewood, and maple. The tonal spectrum with Bubinga is a sonic mix of lows, mids, and highs clear across the strings. String choice and top wood can vary the sound and projection, but Bubinga as a b/s wood colors the sound with a full, deep, tone more suited to rosewood. It is also visually beautiful.

Motherofpearl Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Bubinga is one of my favorites for sure! Has the rosewood bass and the dryness of mahogany. It's like an orchestra. Here's my J100xtra in Bubinga Here's one in mahogany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds and plays great, better than my Taylor, which is now up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
