I apologize if this is a subject already taken up in some previous forum but what configuration of the Stick or NS Stick offers the deepest tone, the lowest sound, the least guitar like notes ? Graphite ? Bamboo ? Ironwood ? What’s your impression ?

I'm hoping to get some vids up soon of the Dual Bass Reciprocal Ten String Grand instrument I have. This is as deep as I care to delve, and the PASV-4 is definitely the right pickup for this instrument.
Mine is up a half step from the normal DBR (low C instead of low B), but here's a the tuning chart for this instrument:

So is this the ultimate Stick for jamming with elephants?
