We all sure could lose the dude in the funny striped coat, but that bass is definitely the bomb!

Another shot of maple board goodness...

And it's in the TB classifieds as we speak. So sue me.

Here is my modest collection, an SX jazz, Squier CV 50's P, and Fender MIM P:

Here is one of my babies.

Wow, that's one of the first lined fretless basses with a maple board I've seen. Lovely.

Show maple boards? So ordered, so done. Here are my 1980(?) Music Man Sabre and my 2004 Marchlewski

FWIW - Jam.Master, the pickguard on the Music Man Sabre came from Pickguard Heaven. About $60 delivered.

Fair to add a couple I USED TO own?

Here's one I modded to add the maple blocked neck and an Audere preamp.

And here's a Marcus Miller I owned for a couple years. How did we get 5 pages without a Marcus Miller?

 

[J. Crawford]

Now THAT is a sexy bass!

Thanks man, she is pretty darn beautiful!

 

[Jeff K]

Wow. There are some gorgeous friggin' basses in this thread. Here are my maple boards:

And I'll throw in my Strat just for kicks...

 

[Chunk-O-Funk]

Does this thing have flamed, quilted, and birds eye maple on it?

The top wood is quilted, and the fretboard has birdseye. The headstock shows some flame, but I'm not sure if it's just the way Lakland does the quarter-sawn (across the wood grain)necks.

Here's my Sterling HS IV I scored about a month ago. I'm loving it.

I'll play! Let's try roughly alphabetical order.

Believe it or not, this is actually a maple board. It is both flamed and heavily spalted, and it has been acrylicized for stability.

My Celinder J-Update 4 and J-Update 5 have some really nice birdseye maple boards (and necks).

My F Bass BN5 has some killer birdseye maple, as well.

And the birdseye/figuring on my BN4 is really off the hook!

Here a couple of nice maple-board Fenders.

All three of my ATK's have nice maple boards, especially the flamed maple on the two USA Custom models.

This Lakland Skyline DJ4 is the bass that I keep coming back to (literally! I have traded it away and back twice, but it won't happen a 3rd time!).

My Skyline JO4 has a nice maple board, too.

These two LeCompte's both have flamed maple boards, with ebony binding.

Ash/walnut/maple/maple MTD 535.

Carey really outdid himself with the birdseye maple board on the vJ5 on the left.

I love what the maple board adds to this Rumblefish XL.

My Skjold Lion's Pride (Model A) has a super nice figured/maple board, but I still haven't really captured it in a photo yet.
