Okay, TB! - show me all of the best flame maple stuff!

Not a bass, but here’s my Ibanez guitar:

The end of that Warwick f/b is looking a little raggedy... what kind of wood is that?

Yeah, I'm gearing up for a custom build, you know. I really, really want a green looking bass.

I already talked to a builder and got a spec sheet done but that was a while ago. Going to hit him up again soonish and ask some questions about some features and colour available.

Speaking of Warwick, if you look at the W distribution website and type in the search bar "emeraude green" or "petrol", you'll see quite a few green looking finishes.

I'm daydreaming about a flame maple neck and fingerboard stained in some very deep, rich and dark green. Pondering the inlays too... Considering genuine abalone or black mother of pearl dots or blocks of similar, maybe green fluorescent stuff too :p

A TB challenge - I wanna see your best examples of flame maple necks, fingerboards, head plates, anything including really a tiger-like, stripe flame maple wood excluding the tops/bodies :)

Either something you've owned or not, doesn't really matter. The crazier, the better!
These two basses are from the Walla Walla Guitar Company, from whom I'm contemplating my next bass purchase. They have a way with spectacular necks.

Green is one of my favorite bass colors. I'm going to experiment with some finishes with UV light exposure to get that rotting hue I like to much.
