Basswood body on guitar , sucks?

First of all,the type of wood affects the tone of a guitar or bass,along with many other factors,like bridge,pickups,amp etc.Scotty Groove may say it doesn't,but ask any professional luthier and he/she will tell you otherwise.If the material wouldn't affect the tone,they could just slap some pickups on a plastic board and make a guitar/bass out of it and trust me,it's not that they didn't tried it over the last decades.The only company I know, that makes good sounding guitars,with a synthetic material is Aristides guitars,from The Netherlands.They use a material called ''Arium'' which is a super expensive mix of carbon,glas-fibres and other stuff.I've tried out one of their 6,000 euros superstrats and it sounded like my modded with S.Duncans,old Yamaha Pacifica,that I got for 200 Euros.That's why the big manufacturers stick with wood,maybe in the future,somebody will invent a cheap,good sounding,synthetic material that can replace tonewood.
Second,saying that basswood ''sucks'' it's like saying alder,mahagony,ash,koa or any other tonewood ''sucks''.Some musicians prefer it,like the ones I mentioned,some others don't.Like I said,I like mahagony more,put that's just personal preference.I hardly doubt,on the other hand, that guys like Satriani,EVH or even Guthrie Govan(his new Charvel sign. model has a basswood body) are ''tonedeaf''.Also John Suhr,likes basswood and makes some super expensive boutique guitars out of it,but hey what the hell does he know,right?It's more cheap then other tonewoods,because the damn tree,grows everywhere unlike mahagony,swamp ash or koa,who are tropical trees.There are also different quality grades of basswood,just like with the other woods.I highly doubt though that this one here is made out of the low grade quality basswood,they use on the cheapo chinese guitars.

Eddie used basswood for as he puts it for "tone with a maple cap to give it bite " This configuration was used with Peavey "
Joe Satriani is using guitars with basswood bodies for nearly 30 years,John Petrucci's MusicMan JP & Majesty models are also made of basswood,because it's extremely light weight and has a ''neutral'' tone in between mahagony & alder..

 I remember an interview with Angel Vivaldi,he also uses basswood guitars,where he explainend why he likes that particular tonewood.He said,it has a ''neutral'' tone,unlike the ''bright'' tone of Alder, which is great when you play with lots of gain & various effects.Personally,I prefer mahagony guitars,because I like their ''chunky'' tone but if even somebody like Petrucci has basswood in his super high-tech MusicMan guitars,it can't be that bad.
