In those sizes, the size of the body cavity alone gives you a lot of bass already, and so having rosewood back and sides boosting the bass response even further can create EQ problems onstage.
Naturally, there are all sorts of workarounds available, and it's simply a matter of personal preference for me. But it's no accident that I own a mahogany Martin D-18 and not a rosewood HD-28.
Hope that makes sense.

No Wade, it doesn't.  I have played the D-18 and the D-28 and I found the D-18 had more bass than the D-28. Is that what you are saying in your post why you have the D-18?
