Curly Ebony Fingerboard 720×90×9 mm MB Exclusive Nº8

Curly Ebony Fingerboard 720×90×9 mm MB Exclusive Nº8

Ebony is one of the reference woods for fingerboards due to its extreme hardness, dimensional stability and very fine pores. These properties provide a fast and precise feel, excellent wear resistance and a clear response on every note. On 5-string electric basses, this delivers greater definition, control and stability even under higher tension loads.

This fingerboard is made from curly ebony, a variant featuring an elegant and subtle natural undulation. The figure shifts depending on the angle of light, creating refined highlights that add depth while preserving the classic appearance of black ebony. Each piece has a unique curl that gives the instrument a distinctive and exclusive character.

Compatibility and format

With dimensions of 720 × 90 × 9 mm (28-3/8" × 3-9/16" × 3/8"), this fingerboard is suitable for 5-string electric basses and custom builds requiring a medium-wide format. The length provides enough working margin to shape the fingerboard as needed while ensuring the inherent stability of ebony.

MB Exclusive selection
