Problem with maple under headphone amp

I put a piece of random maple (probably hard maple) under an amp and the bass was vastly attinuated as compared to poplar. The mid, ie vocals were awsome. What wood has great deep bass with the wonderful round non peaky , natural sound of at least the maple I used?? Thanks, Tweaker

I don't get that with my setup and if you take a look at my System pics, you'll see that I use a serious amount of maple. However, when I placed my TT on the maple slab that my amp is currently on, I did hear a softening overall, so I changed that.

Have you seen this site, this guy loves Spruce? I don't know about the bass, but if you contact him I'm sure he'll have an opinion about what to try.
