    The Unofficial LE Bass::Copperhead Bronze

    How about some love for the bastard child of EBMM LE's, the Copperhead Bronze!!! I just love this bass and it's obviously very unique. I love seeing all the LE's that have come out over the last few years and I hope EBMM keeps them coming. Mine sounds and plays great and is sounding better than ever with the new Sadowsky Blue Labels.

    So what do you guys think?? I think the Copperhead Bronze deserves "Honorary LE status!!!

    wasn't the deal with this finish EBMM made a batch and then decided not to go ahead with it? I've only ever seen a handful of SR4/5's and a couple of Sterlings (and no 6 stringers) in CB. I think its very cool and I love the distressed plate.
    you're right - its very unique and if i owned one it'd surely be a keeper

    Yeah that is a nice bass, i think BP said they only made about 4 of them or something like that, you've got something special there! more limited than any of the current limited editions that's for sure!

    There's definitely more than four of them, I think there's at least 100. There's a thread with the info, search "copperhead" and you'll find it eventually. I had a Copperhead Bronze SR5 and sold it to forum member. The coolest thing about that color was the awesome pickguard.

    I've had a Sterling and an SR4 in that color. Cool!

    A kinder, gentler collection...

    I wonder if I rubbed Coppertone suntan lotion on my ButterCream Bongo and laid it out in the sun for a few days if it would ever look like that.

    I love the color, hate the pickguard. Slap a black or white pearl guard on there and I'm happy.

    I have to say the pickguard is quite attractive, industrial but attractive
