Mahogany basses aren't just that popular anymore and in fact - 60ies excepted - never were. My pet theory is that finger bass playing is much more widespread than playing with a pick and a finger picked maho bass can be a bit harder to project just like a pick played maple, alder or ash bass can be a bit too much of a good thing.
As a pick player myself, I enjoy that I can play a Gibson maho bass with a pick as hard as I wish and not sound like Chris Squire or Geddy Lee (a finger player that sounds like apick player), with all due respect to both of them as fantastic bassists. I'm also quirky on bass and tend to be ahead of the beat, a Gibson maho bass mellows me down and is not as outrageously attack-happy, so I don't dominate as much. It's a thing I keep hearing: "Whether you play simple or complicated, fast or slow, loud or subdued, Uwe, you dominate." Not everybody is happy with that! Maho cushions me.
