There's a spot where you get a glimpse of the back of the neck, I think it's purpleheart.
I went back to look. I wanted it to be true, but I have to guess rosewood. Here's a screen shot:
Wishful thinking on my part I guess. Mahogany maybe?
I was hoping to see purpleheart too. Yeah, now that you mention it, I'll change my guess to mahogany as well. Beautiful neck, whatever it is.
New review on Bass The World. Neck is laminated Maple/Wenge, Fretboard Richlite. Body top is Wenge. Ash back.
Had a few bits and pieces in my parts bin, and a spare wenge neck, so i thought I'd throw together another wenge neck jazz parts bass.
Well, I finally sprung for a wenge Warmoth neck as a Christmas present to myself.
Neck is wenge shaft, slim taper, with ebony board. I ordered it with pearloid dots, but they sent it with pearloid blocks. Oh Well!
Side dots are luminlay, and it is quartersawn. It's truly an amazing neck.
I thought about bolting it onto a vintage maple body I have to create the Maple n Black club as arch enemies of the Black n Maple club. But, nah, those guys are great.
This body is a Fender Mod Shop PJ in Olympic Pearl, with Fralin pickup set.

Curious how you find any tonal differences with that wenge neck on a "traditional" P bass (I know it is a PJ). I've had multiple wenge necks, but never on a P or J bass.Well, I finally sprung for a wenge Warmoth neck as a Christmas present to myself.

I don't think I can answer for this bass yet. For my other jazz bass with the Chinese wenge neck, I would describe it as more articulate. The lows and highs are all still there, but seem more distinct. Hard to describe.
I once had a Martin X1 acoustic guitar. The neck was all thin strips of laminate wood, and was extremely stiff. I think wenge essentially gives a similar effect naturally. The black and brown layers combine to form a very stiff and transmissive medium. But I'm no wood botanist, what do I know?
Has anyone had the chance to try one of these yet?
They came out like, last year, and i havent seen a single video or picture after these few youtube videos about them.
