MAPLE vs ROSEWOOD - How much of a difference does it make? (Fender American Pro II Precision)

Today we're venturing down the well trodden path of MAPLE vs ROSEWOOD fretboards. This was a cool opportunity to compare two of the exact same basses, same pickups, pickup height, setup, strings, etc. The only thing different is the fretboard material. Should you care? Do I care? The world may never know. Full signal chain below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
