I have an all Brazilian J bass neck...Its bright but not overly IMHO. Then thing is its heavy and for that reason alone I almost got rid of it.

I'm with you on this... I like the standard J neck. I think there is a tonal difference with that full neck. However I prefer using the Schaller 463 bridge so I can pull the spacing in closer to 18 then 19mm. I see a trend here. :)

I dig that pickup placement...Very tight sounding.

I have found 'soft maple' bass bodies are similar in weight and sound to 'northern ash' IE 'hard ash'. I think 'soft maple' would be a great candidate for roasting.

Thank You Folks for Your replies... What I'm reading makes sense. I plan on replacing 1 or 2 necks with Roasted Maple Jazz bass necks but as a 70's fan I'm going to go with gloss (I know I don't need to). I'm sure that added protection does not hurt. I would imagine the following -> Roasted...

Hello All,    :)  I know the Warmoth tone guide says mentions them the same. However I heard otherwise and that roasted is a touch warmer / less bright.. What do You think? Share you thoughts? I don't have much experiences in this specific area and welcome feedback especially from anyone ...

Thanks Double A I have too many projects in the works...But if the tone is the same between roasted maple and regular maple then plan on going full bore Vintage Tint with Roasted Maple sometime and will post it up for all to see.

Your not the only one who wants to see that combo. I want to as well in a Jazz bass. I actually heard the same thing but about the finish that it looks rich...But I have not seen it person either.
