Bird's Eye maple Neck is my new Favorite!

[Bassmedic14]

Ever since I saw the bird's eye maple neck on the Classic Sting Ray (Tobacco burst). I'm in love.........it's my all time favorite, no two are alike and it's a piece of art! I wish they would have done my earthwood neck in bird's eye maple. Does anyone else feel the same way or am I alone in this fetish lol?

Chime in lets hear what you have to say about the Bird's eye, or what your idea of a favorite neck material.

Bassmedic14, You're not lonely, those birds eye maple gloss finished necks are beautiful indeed!

I love those necks. The neck on my 30th Anniversary Stingray is a gorgeous piece of birds eye maple with a trans red stain, and my fretless Sterling also has a beautiful birds eye neck.

I go for Flame

Once I had a bass with flamed neck and bird's eye board. But it was a different brand. Yes, I do admit that I had/have basses of other brands. But I play my Rays...

Love that birdseye....especially if it looks like a teenager going through puberty

That's the reason I hate Bird'seye, phobia of pimples

 

[Bassmedic14]

Flame is cool too..............but to me the natures art of crafting the wood is just so cool.

 

[Moondog]

Flame is nice, birdseye better, but a subtle figuring betterer...

THIS NECKS FIGURING CHANGES AS YOU TURN IT - PICS DON'T SHOW - REALLY AMAZING!!!

Birds Eye

Bird's eyes for me too man ! Owned a 1987 Ernie Ball Stingray for 7 years n never looked back since then ! Fantabulous !!!

 

[Norm66]

The only thing I would change if I could about my SR5 is a bird's eye neck. They're sweet looking.

 

[Infidelity]

How about some phoenix eyes(aka flamed birdseye)?*Sadly I don't own this bass anymore*

 

[Duarte]

Love me some birdseye. I used to have this beauty

Shame I didn't take any pictures of it myself. Oh well...

 

[DJBenzBass]

BIRDSEYE for sure!!!

 

[lefenton]

Totally in love with the birdseye!!! My next bass is going to be the Classic 4 Ray with birdseye and maple FB.

Never liked maple boards until I tried the music man rendition. Though my Big Al isn't glossy, it feels and plays great and totally converted me on the spot, not only to maple boards but also away from F*#&*r. Then I found a classic and fell in love all over again. The glossy neck feels so amazing, and the aesthetic of the birdseye is astonishing. Very beautiful works of art!!!

All necks should be painted!








Ok, figuring is nice too, but then it's not a Bongo
