#1 with the neck from 3. A “non more black” bass is a solid option :thumbsup:

The first neck ( or fingerboard, actually ) is flamed roasted maple, but all necks I've selected flamed roasted maple, just the fingerboard are either FRM or Wenge.

I wish the Ebony option, so the bass would be as dark as it gets, but I noticed the warning about cracks, and I felt it could be a big letdown since it's not covered by warranty. Sucks...

I had the same concern before I ordered mine and was all set to order Wenge, but the dealer (Randy) convinced me that it was very low likelihood of a problem with Ebony. Said he sells a bunch of Ebony FB and has almost no issues (if I remember correctly the one issue he had was minor and quickly remedied by a local luthier).

I ordered mine with Ebony and received it yesterday - no issues. YMMV

I got it, but the way they described it was kinda spooky. If you don't mind, throw some pics of your bass for appreciation. Thanks!

How long it took for the shop to get it done?

Ha, well that is a whole other story. 23 weeks for me to receive it, but he ran into supply issues on some parts. A couple of us fell victim to the supply chain and had longer than normal waits (7-8+ months for the other 2 I'm aware of), but I think most are still receiving theirs inside 15 weeks.

BTW: I couldn't find the option for solid colors, using the configurator from Maru website. Does anyone know?

You need to have a alder body / no top selected in the configurator, for solid colors. You'll need to specify in the notes that you would like another type of wood for the body.

Btw: there's no such thing as too many blue basses :D
