Basswood has long been lauded for its tonal transparency - it exerts very little colour on the guitar's sound. Basswood adds no tone to color the sound = bland. Final comment on this Rick, back to my exotic wood guitars.

on 10/06/2012 		Well, six years after the Jem debuted Vai switched to alder bodies, from basswood. Unless it has a maple/other cap a basswood body sucks, yes. Soft, cheap, no grain, streaky, bleech. When shred playing was first starting to happen basswood was used because it imparted little tone to color the sound, the signal would be heavily processed. I've owned many guitars with basswood included and it's not my preferred wood. Every see a popcicle stick? Basswood.
Rick
on 10/05/2012 		Really? you dont like Basswood ? My Favorite!!! They look like shredder machines too me :) Even Guthrie Govan, gave in and switched to Basswood
