Now this is a thread I can get down with!

My G&L:

My Gibson RD Artist (big old hunk of maple... id say this one wins in "maple-ness")

 

[Growlmonkee]

 

[GwenOnBass]

Quite a bit of wear from playing, I should say. The yellowing on the nut is oxidized original finish that was sloppily applied at the time of manufacture. The unoxidized finish under the pickguard is several shades lighter.

I own two basses.

There is just something I like about a jazz bass with a maple fingerboard.

I've never never heard of "Pierce" basses but those are beautiful! Particularly the black one. Where'd you get them?

Thanks! They're Warmoth parts basses I originally put together over 2 decades ago. The semi hollow body was built by a friend. Both have gone thru various experimentation over the years but had final face lifts a couple years ago. Played them last night and as always they delivered.

Nice work! They look great!

I'd love to do something like that one day

I sold this one but still have the pictures. Neck is from Allparts. Body is maple too.

 

[Bassist Jay]

The only bass I have for now with a maple fret board is my Music Man Stingray Classic Breast Cancer Awareness bass. However, I do have three other basses being built right now that will have maple fret boards.

Here's what I have. It's sort of a hodgepodge , I suppose.

Top one is a '72 P bass.

A 2011 or 2012 Ibanez Mikro.

'85 Ibanez RB650.

And a 2014 SX short scale.

I'll always have a place for a good maple neck.

Have fun.

yep...
