Do you have a bass with a maple fingerboard? Show it!

Here's mine:

Beautiful bass, my friend, I love those black blocks, too. What a great example of the classic P-bass, looks somehow vintage and modern at the same time. Great choice!

Good God, I don't have 13 of anything, eggs maybe. How do you know which one to play?! BTW, you know that 13 is an unlucky number, you'd better buy another one.

LOVE that sunburst (thought was cherryburst) MIJ Jazz!!! "How much for the leet-tuhl girl?" ("Joliet" Jake, Blues Brothers) Nah just kidding, I wouldn't sell her either. Jam on...

I just recently picked up a new G&L Tribute "Kiloton." The deal of the century--bought from a good friend who owns a mom 'n pop store with half-dozen studio/rehearsal rooms. Yeah, the Tribute series is way less expensive, but the manufacturing quality and that USA-made MGD pup competes with some of the best Fenders, MMs and Gibson EB basses I've ever played. Getting back to the topic: I loves me some maple necks. To my ears they sound a little crisper, and the one on the G&L makes slap-n-pop a breeze (although I'm mostly a R&R bassist).

Such lovely basses you all have.
Here is my collection, but I need a maple finger board for that jazz. I bought it because everything else was good and I figured I could use a change to rosewood. BIG mistake.

VERY nice build. I love the neck plate. I usually find gold hardware obnoxious but it really works here.

I like the understated burl! Will it pop more when finished?

My well-loved '74. Retired the stock pickups for Quarterpounders. But that neck,

tho...

I used to have this:

Sorry I let it go!

Then there's that early 70's lawsuit Ibanez Tele-bass. Paid $199 for it a couple years ago, but there's something about playing on neck cut from a solid piece of wood.

Was wonderin' how much longer it was going to be before you got a new Stammie!
