vintage sunburst with maple neck?

[cat_empire]

hey,

why is it that i see so few stingrays in the vintage sunburst finish with a maple neck. 90% of V.S's that i see have a rosewood neck, which i dont understand as IMO the maple brings out the colours alot better on the V.S.

Is this just just like combination that no one likes, except me?

For me on a Ray, the classic combination of sunburst is with a maple board.

To me, both look cool.

Vintage burst with a maple board is probably my favorite combination - to me it's the classic Stingray look.

Big +1. I'm a die hard rosewood fan but I'm pretty
sure my next bass will be a VB w/Maple SR4HS. It's
one of the only colors I find looks better w/maple
besides black and white.

Caca, beautiful 2-bander there!

I voted Black Cerry in the poll. But deep, deep down, my all time favouruites would have to be:

Natural with Maple

Sunburst with Maple

Black with Maple



EDIT: All with Black pickguards of course

my SR5 is vintage sburst, black pg and maple neck with NO that nonsense matching hstock! i do agree that maple neck just FITS on music man basses for some reason....

You know,

As much as I love my white basses, I must admit that I almost got both of my Rays as sunburst with maple...

But I thought that was a common preference, so I didn't! Anyway, I'm sold on natural. The next SR4 for me will be a natural, 2EQ, black pickguard---like the old days!

BTW,

The only famous person I've seen with a bass as such (other than Louis Johnson possibly) was Gary Grainger. He played with John Scofield in the eighties on albums Blue Matter, Pick Hits Live, and Loud Jazz. Good Stuff!!! Man, what a tone!!!

I know a lot of people that always think of the maple board when you mention a stingray

imo the old pre EB sunburst Rays and Sabres look great with the aged/dark gloss maple necks.With the pale maple on the current ones I think rosewood looks better.
