    Yes, its only the fingerboard that is rosewood. No one in the store even knows that EBMM makes full rosewood necks. I doubt the distributor here in Germany even knows to be honest.

    That seems to be in any shop like that. I did sell a StingRay in a local shop because the interested bassist noticed that I was better informed that the guy in the shop.
