Clarky Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 After posing the question in Gear Porn, thought I'd start a poll because I have nothing better to do with my life (if Mrs Clarky reads that, I'm toast). Anyway my punky 70RI bass Sid now has two necks, one with a rosewood board the other all maple. I can't decide whether to stick with the new maple neck or to revert back to original rosewood. So simple question, which looks the best: [attachment=51266:clarky_basses_009.JPG][attachment=51267:clarky_basses_004.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I was going to say rosewood, but the colour of the bass and the pickups in this instance means the maple just tips it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Vader Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Has to be maple, as it looks like one of the many 70s fenders that got away in maple, and thus makes me cry.... a bit, not a lot obviously, big bass players don't cry, and one of them definitely wasn't a '79 strat that I saved for for months until it was gone the day I had the money (only £250, it was the 80s).... MAPLE!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Clarky, it's got to be rosewood ... and change the pickup cover to black as well ... and is that a Badass? PS I am saving up for your Mesa 12" but I'm not holding out much hope just at the moment. Edited June 2, 2010 by EssentialTension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hmmn, I thought I'd prefer maple, but on looking at the pix I have to go for the rosewood. Great looking bass either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Maple all the way! Looks awesome with that colour scheme. Plus, although it's obviously the least important consideration, it sounds better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
