Hey Guys, I’m new to talkbass and apologies if this has been asked a million times already. Thoughts please on a possible change to a Maple board? - Black on black w/ Maple - Candy Apple Red (Nate body) black pickguard w/ Maple - Sunburst black pickguard w/ Maple - Or a 2 tone Sunburst Road Worn P? Cheers
