It's flame eye! Or, is it bird's flame? Either way, it's beautiful!

I remember seeing a similarly jaw-dropping bird's eye pattern on a fretless honeyburst Stingray 4-string at a local store many years ago (around '93). While I was young and wouldn't have had the money at the time anyway, it still stands out as a "stand out" bass in my memory.

You did well in snagging that one.

I started to get ache in my neck gigging with my Classic initially (it's 9.8 pounds) I seem to have cured this by making sure my strap is in a sensible position on my shoulder at the start of a gig and maybe my neck muscles have toned because it's not an issue now.
