Picked up some more maple boards
Dean Juggernaut (22 frets passive) and Retrovibe by Chowny Volante (20 frets passive with series/parallel switch)

I really wish Ibanez and Eastwood would make all 4 of these with Maple Fretboards. If there has ever been contenders for maple fretboards its these 4!

My latest Maple Fretboard Bass. Dean Paramount purchased new from Musician's Friend.

1.65” width at nut and 0.75” thick neck at 1st fret. Thin Satin finish on back of neck. This is a nice fast neck without the sandpaper or steel wool routine.

B, that pickguard looks great against a black finish... aged parchment? Or is it just the light?

I didn’t really take notice until you just brought it up

My main player (Dingwall ng2)

My last stingray was maple also.

Very first bass I owned was a maple board American peavey fury (this was about 25 years ago)
