You’re not the only one, I don’t mind what wood it is but it has to be dark, darker the better really, I won’t buy a bass with a light coloured fingerboard , my Sandberg had an ebony board which is so nice
I’ve got the 4 string and they balance perfectly fine, the frets can feel further away at first but you adjust in minutes, really great basses in every way, GLWYS smanth 👍
