thanks for the advice
I went for a Jumbo 12 fret cutaway Ziricote and Sinker redwood I listened as all the woods were tap-tested, and they look great too I've never done a custom build before, this is fun!

Beautiful! I’m flying over to Ireland soon to pick up my custom build - need to do a NGD post.
 The gents over there are top notch. I plan on doing another build with them at the beginning of next year.

Here’s John at Shoreline showcasing the one I had. I chose rosewood for the back/sides and ebony for the cutaway, among a few other little custom changes. I plan to have them build me another one, identical in specs, but their smaller body in early 2020 (if I can wait).

The Macassar is a hard, heavy ebony that I really like. A "reflective" side/back tonewood. Seems like less mud in the low mids to me but I have only owned one.
I haven't owned sinker redwood. I have owned two amazing mastergrade redwood Goodalls. I would stick with that myself.

Just saw this thread. IMO Macassar ebony might not give you the type of bass response you mentioned. Tends towards tight and clear but not big.
