I think for the price your asking, maple fretboard is maybe to much to ask for.

Rosewood is out of the question.

I'm sick of it, the feel, the sound, the look. I MUCH prefer ebony and maple, maple above all though.

All of my guitars are Rosewood and I hate it

I don't know about quality, but I've heard some good (and some bad) things about these:

OLP TONY LEVIN 5 STRING SIGN. AN - Svensk International Cyberstore

Hmmm...I'm a bit leary when it comes to basswood bodies, nasty flubby bass response and such...I'd like to hear one though...

Okay, I might have something for you:

CORT CURBOW 5 MIC - Svensk International Cyberstore

Woah that is cool looking. What does Luthite sound like, and Ebonol???

Desecrated · 02-25-2008, 08:48 PM

"Luthite is a light-weight synthetic material developed by Cort Guitars for the construction of bass guitar bodies.

Luthite was developed as a substitute for wood, for as a synthetic composite material there is much greater control over the consistency of production. Additionally it is able to be formed to almost any shape, i.e. 3D shapes out of plane, where the wood equivalent would require a very large body blank or laminates.

The tone of luthite is different than many tonewoods, this may be seen as an advantage or disadvantage according to personal preference. It is best suited for slapping and popping on the bass. Whilst primarily used in Cort’s Curbow series basses, Ibanez EDB series basses and EDR/EXR series guitars are also made of luthite."

"Ebonol is an artificial material similar to ebony (Diospyros crassiflora), a black wood from Africa, which sometimes includes grey streaks. Ebonol is commonly used in place of ebony in the construction of stringed instruments, like fretless bass fingerboards, because it is easy to work with and resistant to forming grooves from roundwound strings.

Ebonol can also refer to Ebonol-C, a black oxide treatment sometimes used in plating to treat copper surfaces after copper plating in order to achieve a very highly absorptive black surface. This Ebonol generally gives the treated piece a velvet appearance, and on a microscopic scale, dendrites appear on the surface of the finish. These dendrites tend to trap light for a higher absorptivity. This type of treatment is used in space applications for light rejection and other optical properties. Ebonol-C is also used to treat bronze in jewelry to give it a black appearance."
