Which Bass Neck Sounds Better? Maple vs Wenge

Hey everyone! Since I had these two nearly identical basses, I thought it would be fun to shoot a side by side video to show off what kind of difference your neck/fretboard wood make to the overall tone of a bass. For this video, we're taking a hard look at Maple, a classic, and Wenge, the newcomer. Let me know what you think of the differences in the comments! Enjoying my channel?
