Well, practically any Martin you get has that great bass tone. Consider rosewood.

one of my guitars has East Indian Rosewood. Really nice guitar for bass sounds. Its pretty rich. I would suggest it.

unless your looking for something special or something maxed out, there isnt really a reason for a custom (personally). But i just bought a om-35 and i am in love. Another thing to keep in mind is the body. Different shapes make different tones. Like for mine, normally on's dont have tons of bass, but because of the 3 piece back (which looks sweet) it has alot more bass.
I'm almost there...
