Can I request a photoshop please?

Well i heard sound becomes really compressed (dont really know what the hell that means) when body and neck both are both made from maple.

No it won't. It'll most likely be bright and agressive, due to being all maple, but should still have a lot of thickness, due to the humbuckers. Ricks do not sound compressed, quite the opposite.
 
Awesome bass!

ok here's my dream bass pretty much.

explorer body shape, 5-string
2 MM pickups
35" scale
Fireburst color- Invalid Link Removed (select fireburst. It's on the right side of the chart.)
5-string ebony fingerboard with 24 frets
Pearl block inlays
4-knobs
Black hardware
reverse headstock, like this-http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_roope.html

If you can photoshop that, you may have my first-born.:D
 
Make two while you're at it...I'll buy the other! I had fun making that pic...you got any other design ideas, Necro? ...I really like the black hardware & blocks on the all maple neck.

Well i might have a few... How 'bout a swamp ash telecaster bass body with a midnight wine finish, wenge neck, ebony fingerboard with no inlays (or unlined fretless maybe) , dark star pickup, black hardware, black pickguard and black bridge cover?

Edit: And add a f-hole!
