That looks like a set from Zootman, if so that's great! I have almost finished a dred with sides and back of bubinga. Great wood, bends like east Indian rosewood and to me it sounds just as good, only thing is it sands harder. I would go with .090 on the sides and .110 on the back. Zootman has finished sanded for me before and he does a great job. Another plus (but it may just be me) bubinga doesn't seem to split as easy as EIRW and it has a slight floral aroma but it doesn't burn your nostrils as bad.

I have come home from the shop smelling of rosewood only to have my girlfriend accuse me of smelling like another womans perfume. LOL
