i’ve tried to play my friends acoustic guitar and the strings are so small and close together, i don’t know how anyone can get around. but i guess that’s why people play chords, because they don’t have the room to play a single fret on a single string and glide around that way efficiently.
 
come on, i’m asking you to send pictures!!! :thumbsup: i have a maple fingerboard walnut jazz on the way so i’ll soon be able to show mine off in due time, but how many of you guys chose a maple fretboard on a nice jazz bass as opposed to the usual rosewood fretboard?
Here's mine. I saw this one on the Fender site, Sweetwater only sold the Rosewood fingerboard so they special ordered it for me. I had to wait an extra month to get it but I am very happy with this bass. It's an MIM and is setup to my liking, thanks TB, I set it up myself. I love this bass.
