Wood color change

I am wondering, as I was looking into my 5TN and my 6EG, i noticed that the TN has changed color in the neck. The wood looks much darker, compared to my 6EG. Is it normal, or the wood just need to be clean? I was thinking it is because the wood has aged.

Hey Desmund,
Great basses! I've noticed that every time I play my Smith basses all the other bassists faces become green :eek:
Just play them... forget all worries.

Smiths look better with wear & age. if theres no cracks in the wood dont worry about it.
