Maple fingerboards!

[Oobly]

Here's my maple-boarded beauty

Squier Classic Vibe 70's with a few choice mods: TI jazz flats, CS 62 pickup, CTS pots, Russian military PIO caps, Switchcraft jack, Gotoh GB640 lightweight tuners. Makes me want to pick it up and play it every time I look at it! (and I usually do )

My gigging basses. 1968 Telecaster on the left. MIM Telecaster/Precision on the right (it’s still a work in progress, since this pic I installed Fralin p/u with creme covers).

 

[Marley's Ghost]

My fairly new Kiesel Vader AW5 with birdseye.

I'm likin' MFB's more and more. Not so much for a sound difference, but for a 'feel' difference as I'm playin'
Here are mine of the MFB persuasion:

Hmm… Think I forgot to add this one.
Different take for me, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

What's that color name? "Poison Dart Frog Burst"??

 

[MrDinsdale]

Absolutely love these Schecter basses.

Always hated the fender style basses and favoured Warwick and more boutique styles in 5 string. A few years ago i played an incredible precision and something clicked, ever since I've been gradually u-turning. Now these P4 and J4 Schecters are the only basses i find myself reaching for.

The luminlay dots on the p are a total game changer.

SR5FMDX-EGL. Which as close as I would guess is something like "Flamed Maple Deluxe Emerald Green Low Gloss."
I call it "Midori no mono" or "The green one" in Japanese - at least as close as Google Translate will allow.
My apologies if it didn't translate correctly. I just put it back in Google and it came out "Green person."
Hey!!! Does anyone around here speak Japanese?
