Ebony is a very close grained smooth timber that to me feels very nice under my fingers. My '94 G****n L** P*** bass has an ebony fingerboard and has one of my favorite necks to play.
ebony is a very very bright sounding wood. compared to rosewood anyway it has a very audible difference. im not real sure how it compares to maple though as it would have to be on the same brand/model guitar with the same pots caps and pickups etc to really compare and i only play gibson guitars and they dont use maple on their fingerboards. so for example i couldnt compare a gibson lp custom w/ ebony to a gibson lp ? with maple.
i talked to a guy once that said he played a bass once with ebony and he said he love it of all his basses.

It's autumn sunset and I don't think they ever took orders for the color.
....hhhmmmm. those pics make the guard look alot "redder" than it really is, but you get the idea im sure.
i also upgraded the pickguard screws to chrome along with the battery pack screws and pickup height adjustment screws to chrome ordered direct from music man. i hate those stock black screws that the color wears off in a few weeks after new! i like the chrome better anyway, small cosmetic things like this, imho, can change the whole vibe of a bass!
hope you like it, I DO!!!!
