OK.
There is much confusion that could be eliminated next time.
First, the title is "Maple Starfire bass necks". There was a point in my life when you could get a Fender Precision with a maple neck. Not just a maple fingerboard or maple with some other wood as a finger board but a one piece neck and fingerboard made from maple. So that's what I think when I read maple <blah blah> neck. I now understand that the question implied by the title could have been phrased as "what wood was used in the neck of a Starfire bass with a maple body?"
Second, even without distinguishing between Fender and CMG era Starfire basses, it is not always correct to generalize across the major periods, i.e., 60's, 70's, 90's, Fender NS and CMG NS. Indeed, if my memory is correct not all of those periods included a maple body Starfire bass.
Given that the answer is published, the implied question would be "are the specs right?" or "why does the maple neck look darker than the maple body?" both in the context of of either generation of NS maple bodied Starfire basses.
Since the best answer would come from someone with experience with maple bodied NS Starfire basses had things been phrased differently the answer might have been more useful.
