Another Black Korina body-neck question

So as I've seen quite a few times on this forum already, people are often maybe a little intimidated by what neck woods to use for a Black Korina body.

I'm looking into planning out my first build, going for a Black Korina Z Deluxe 5 with clear gloss finish, and thinking about what neck would compliment it.

I was originally going for a Maple Ebony combo just because I was used to the maple on my jazz bass, and I wanted more mids and highs with the lower toned body, but I was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions tonally? I saw Wenge and Ebony is a popular combo for Black Korina but was curious what they do to the over all tone.

The plan is to put a Seymore Duncan MM pickup on the bridge and a Sustainiac next to the neck incase that helps.

Many thanks in advance!
 
May I suggest Canary with a Ebony fretboard?

I believe that Canary is usually closer to Maple than what Wenge would be.
