I have a J-bass I built from Warmoth parts, including a wenge neck. The neck seems denser than maple and gives the bass a different vibe, but I really like it. Good luck with yours.

I think this will be the one. Maple background, two mounting screws, laser engraved name and outline.

The neck for the 72 is wrapped up and under the tree, but here is a picture of our new logo plate on a different bass. Very thin birdseye maple bonded to a no warp backing. Laser cut and engraved by our friends at Axetreme Creations. Mounted with two hex head screws. Finish is tung oil.
That's a really cool idea for nameplate. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.

I suppose the Ric truss rod cover is the closest thing I have seen. I thought it was a little more classy than what I could do with a decal. Also, decal would not work on the wenge neck.

Thanks for all the nice comments! Here's a shot of the fingerboard. It's ebony but has a very cool grain pattern.
