Sounds like that’s going to be an amazingly stunning bass, @edbutler3! Now curious to know how it sounds.
Ed, you can thank yours truly for "that new all Wenge option". I custom ordered that neck for my LG Custom 5 (three years ago this month) and Keith made a small batch of those. I decided to go all-the-way and also specified a Wenge fretboard. Thank goodness it turned out great. I absolutely love the results. And with the PLEK, this neck is crazy good. Imagine a neck on steroids. LOL!

Every bass I have owned that had Wenge in the neck or fingerboard had something extra in the tone. My Century 5 has a Wenge fingerboard and the tone is fantastic.
I've had the same results, Chuck. I previously owned a Roscoe with a wenge fretboard, and an Elric with an all wenge neck and fretboard, and was impressed with the tone in both cases. That's why I went all-in with my LG.

Your bass appears to be 90% cacao dark chocolate. Delicious!
I remember seeing that bass @Freddy-G. 
. Another gorgeous piece from the Roscoe eye candy factory, for sure! 
I used to own a MTD 535 with a replacement Wenge neck and fretboard. I can’t really recall what it sounded like and kinda wish I could hear its voice again to hear what I missed out on. But it was a 19mm string spacing 5’er that I had to let go of and didn’t want to start drilling on it to replace the bridge.

There is a Century Standard in the classifieds but not super close to those specs. I’ve also seen a few on Reverb that might get a little closer.
Now, you know you like LG’s in slightly different specifications! Stop playing.

Well, according to tracking my Century arrived at Roscoe Headquarters today. Now the wait begins. Very excited to see how it'll turn out.
