Does Anyone on the Planet Play a Maple Fingerboard Jazz?

[Bongolation]

I think its out of place on a sunburst finish though...

The dark "aged" color looks fine on my '54/Sting, but for some reason, FMIC won't part with the extra five cents worth of toner to darken up a maple neck on an American bass short of the Custom Shop, it seems.

I'm sure the overwhelming preference for rosewood on the Jazz is a combination of Leo-era tradition and tone; the Jazz is plenty bright enough without any more snap.

A black Jazz with a black pickguard and maple neck is hot. Who's got a pic?

Out of the 30 or so basses that I own, this has always been my favorite, and may very well be the most awesome bass ever made:

A maple board with gun oil tint is almost as good as soapy boobs.

Maple fingerboards feel great. To me - much, much better
than rosewood boards.

Yeah i own a 5 string marcus miller sig and i hate the maple neck, i prefer my mim 5 string rosewood honestly, actually looking to sell it for an alleva copollo.

I don't see anything wrong with this one.

 

[Kenny Allyn]

Hmmm ... of the 5 Jazz Basses I own 4 are block inlay maples only just recently did I add a rosewood board.


... So yeah I usually prefer maple tone and feel.

Damn, I was waiting for that... I always am. That's one of the sweetest basses I've seen.
