'Basswood'- the 'bass' in there rhymes with 'mess', that's how it's pronounced. To many of us, we rhyme this with 'case' or 'ace' for that matter. This is where the misconception entails- the uninitiated would believe this wood type to resonate excessive low frequencies, which is not the case.

Bro, mind if u explain on jumbo fret? I tried to find some explanation on it but I just could not understand it...
hmm jumbo refers to the size of the fret wire rather than spacing between frets itself. that's scale length.
hi bro :-) before i proceed, i need to know if you require the explanation of what jumbo means or how 'big' jumbo is- or both? he he...
Bro, I don't get which part do they consider is jumbo.. at first I thought it refers to the scale length between adjacent fret.. but as the anonymous said, it was the fret wire(which i believe the metal that is on the fret which divide the frets).
Is the size really that significant compare to guitar with medium fret?
I guess I need both the explanation of what jumbo means and how 'big' jumbo is...
[Bil] I'll give it a shot.
when guitar specs say that a guitar has jumbo frets, it means the size of the frets will a large size. Frets mean the fret wire (those metal strips on the neck of the guitar) different guitars have different fret wire wize. medium to extra jumbo(from what I've came a cross. Scale length is the measurement from the nut all the way to the bridge saddle. yeap. That's about what I know. haHA!! hope it helps.
Thanks Bil, it helps a lot!!
