Inspirational Bob Taylor Vid - Ebony will not be on my new Bass if its Black..

[ZenBasses]

So I was researching tonewoods and such for my new bass that I planned to have built by Jon Shuker.

Fingerboards?

My GB has a Black as can be Ebony fingerboard...Now I've played maple, ovangkol , Pau Ferro and the like and love Ebony.....snap, bright, nice finish etc etc

Came across this on Sadowsky's website, I am sure many of you have seen it but it's a interesting and inspirational vid, make me wanna go with Jon's composite or Phenolic fingerboard as they are designed to mimic Ebony (I am led to believe). Though I have to say I like the variation in colour on the Guitar he is holding...I think its great !! and I doubt the tone is any difference. Aesthetics like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder...

Anyway worth a watch if you care about where your Bass comes from
