That is astonishing, Dave. Out of my price range but, by god, I'd love it.

Does it weigh 8lb... (in anticipation)? [size=4] [/size]

Not to piss on your bonfire, but I'm pretty sure any of their basses could be custom ordered with a roasted neck ( I could be wrong). Very nice bass though.

It was limited. I've seen barely any Classics with a RN!

Yeah, it was a custom option only available during a month some time ago

[Kev]

I still love this bass! What a neck *drool*

[budget bassist]

I think I've seen a couple over on the EBMM forum, but yeah, pretty rare. Any EBMM bass with a roasted neck is pretty rare in fairness! None of the newer non-roasted necks have figuring like that either, beautiful.

Appears that it's not available generally on Classic(s) :-
http://www.music-man.com/news/product-announcements/roasted-maple-necks.html
* Available on all models except the Classic Series and Floyd Rose equipped guitars
But might have been a limited offer in August 2010 (?) :-

Seconded. Would be wasted on me, but what a bass!

[throwoff]

Everytime I see a roasted neck I remember the great roasting war over on the ebmm forums...

[martthebass]

Oh to have such GAS but to be so skint.......

Anybody have any links / photos for this? According to an EBMM Forum section I've just been reading there was NO option for Classic(s). This is what the Moderator has to say, with most info / responses coming from an EBMM CS rep' called 'Dargin' :-

Can't find any pricing (current or 2010) but Roger Sadowsky now seems to be offering similar: a Birsdeye Maple / ebony-board Roasted neck is a $650-1000 upgrade depending upon quality/figuring

I think they were limited Guitar Centre basses. Very very rare!

Station Music in Germany have some Classics with roasted maple necks (no ebony board tho).

£900 more than this beauty though!

Interesting! I was looking on the net and surprised I didn't come across these! Still, no ebony board

[MM Stingray 62]

Wow what a bass that's got to be the best neck I've seen on a stingray classic.
And with a ebony board it just doesn't get any better than that.
This won't be around for long.
