Curly Ebony Fingerboard 720×75×9 mm MB Exclusive Nº5
Ebony is one of the reference woods for fingerboards thanks to its extreme hardness, dimensional stability and very fine pores. These properties provide a fast, precise feel, outstanding wear resistance and a clear response on every note. On electric basses, this results in greater definition, sustain and control, even under intensive playing.
This piece features a natural curly figure, a subtle undulation visible depending on the angle of light. It shows no light streaks, but rather a black ebony with an elegant, discreet curl that adds an exclusive appearance while preserving the classic character of the wood. An ideal choice for high-end and custom bass projects.
Compatibility and format
With dimensions of 720 × 75 × 9 mm (28-3/8" × 2-15/16" × 3/8"), this fingerboard is suitable for 4-string electric basses with long scale.
