Question: JP6 – Basswood vs Alder PDN

Question: JP6 – Basswood vs Alder PDN

Hey guys,

I’m the owner of a standard JP6 (ie Basswood body) and had my eyes on a 2015 PDN JP6 that has an alder body + maple fretboard.

I’m curious as to how different they sound. I’m a fan of the punchy tight basswood sound, but sometimes I’d like something more traditional – hence I thought the alder might bring this through.

What do you guys think? Do you find the bodywood would make a big diff? And if you’ve had experience with both – I’d love to hear your thoughts! 😀

Cheers
