Browsing for a MIJ fender P-bass. Preferably a cream one.

The only one in Cream is more a transparent milky blonde with a gold anodised pickguard. The normal cream or VWH according to Fender Japan colour-coding is a '62-look, which will have a rosewood board. I have one in that colour with the tortoiseshell pickguard, but it's not the maple you would like.

Regards
 
Many will tell you that Maple is Brighter while Rosewood sounds Warmer. While I think it varies from a myriad of other factors, it is a safe assumption to believe the former. Theres always the tone knob to mix things up, so don't be too concerned for now. Just play both and see for yourself eventually.
