I do love me some rosewood at times, but yeah, I'm with you.

I love your Geddy Lee! I love maple boards. They look so pure. Here's my three:

There slab style fretless P is something special. I would, however, add a tone knob.

I clearly see the "eyes" in the closeup. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Does Carrot-Colored maple count? Always wanted one of these, always loved maple fingerboards. Oddly enough took me almost 20 years to have my first bass with it, being this one.

Do you mean the Peavey? It may be out, or it maybe defretted and have a new pick guard.

You know the rules .... pics or it didn’t happen!!

My ears couldn't tell you about its tonal qualities (vis-à-vis other materials), but visually, a maple neck works for my Ibanez ATK300.
