Had the same as my second or third bass. I didn't know much back then but even so I knew that I didn't like it - despite trying to Emperors Clothes it.
My other bass at the time was a Thunder 1A which I didn't play for over a year. When I eventually did I realised how horrid the the ebonol board sounded.
The ebony board on my Jaydee, on the other hand, always felt and sounded immense.
