3/4" plywood will be 3/4" and can't be compacted. With that said, you will want to look at cabinet grade 13 ply plywood. It has a smooth veneer in several hardwood designs, poplar, oak, birch and the like, depending on what you like. One brand name is Sandeply. Is has hardly any voids in it and transfers sound well.

Not sure what a bass box is, so I guess what size plywood is needed, depends on how big that is. As chandler said, sand ply is good for something that does not need to be perfect. It is an inexpensive, multiply plywood, but tends to chip easily when cut, takes paint well.
