Ebony neck

[Crossfire22]

Has anyone used an all ebony neck? Very curious to know what it plays and sounds like??

I have one. Plays like all my necks do, which is to say "great" because I spec them all the same, install the same frets and set them up the same way with the same strings. The only things that ever changes are the headstock shape, wood species and scale length. This one happens to be a 25.5" scale Warhead. Feels great because it's a very dense wood, so it burnishes up super slick. At 1.9 lbs it's heavier than most necks, but oddly enough it's not my heaviest neck. That distinction goes to the Ebony over Bloodwood @ 2lbs even. But, once loaded the body it's on is pretty heavy too, so overall the entire instrument is a pig at almost exactly 10 lbs. I doubt I could last a whole set with it unless I was sitting.

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.
