Usually maple for the neck, back, sides and bridge; spruce for the top; ebony for the nut, fingerboard and tailpiece, brass or steel for the tuning machines and steel for the end-pin. Strings may be steel, gut (sheep intestines), silk, nylon or a combination. Many cheaper instruments have a body made from laminated wood (plywood) - they will be stronger but will not sound as good as solid wood. In the mid-20th century, some basses were made from aluminum (US: aluminum) or fibreglass (US: fiberglass) - these are no longer made. Recently a few companies have begun to make high-quality instruments from carbon fibre. These are light, virtually indestructable and have a tone comparable to that of a fine solid wood bass.
