I like basswood.
I wouldn't really describe it as clear. In comparison to everything I've stacked them up against, I'd say it sounds flatter and less resonant/acoustic. It lacks oomph.
You may like it well enough, and thats cool, but personally, i found that basswood was the weak link in my sound, and after switching to ash & mahogany guitars, i found a much better tone that was easier to get.


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.
