Does anybody know something about the order window for these? Is it also a one-month-only window like the DD2?

I was under the impression it's going to be a production model.
This in no way means my impression is correct.

Will the Stingray SLO Specials be noted in someway on the headstock or something, or will you just be able to tell by the thin neck. I know I could tell them apart, but just wondering if it was noted anywhere on the bass.

Me to and I can't wait for the video reviews to start going up on You Tube. But it's a Music Man so how could you go wrong?
Ever since the day I tried a Stingray HH at Dee's Music here where I live, I fell in love with the tone from the Stingray. But I absolutely hated the neck as it felt like the fat end of a baseball bat in my hand. My friend who own's Dee's Music suggested the Sterling and although the tone form a Sterling is awesome there is just something about the tone of the Stingray. And when I was told in these forums about the SLO special I was as giddy as a 3 year old at the Hershey Factory lol.
So I am going to start saving for a SLO Special HH Olive Gold with a Gold Swirl pick guard, and a rosewood fingerboard.
I do have a couple of questions though. What would that cost retail? And could I get active/passive functionality and switch on and SLO Special HH?
The SLO isn't limited edition is it?
Anyway a big thank you to Music Man for listening to their customers and making the SLO Special it was greatly appreciated that you did that.
P.S. not only will this be my first high end bass, this will be my first Music Man.

The SLO is going to be a special bass, now I'm confused on what to get next
On a side note, I haven't seen a company debut so many new models in a short period of time before (sans Saturn's overhaul and new line of auto's a few years back). Kudos to EBMM for taking the chance, and as Leslie Nielsen says, "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you."

Let me assure you these basses are killer. I have long loved the Stingray body, but favored the Sterling neck for comfort. These are the best of both worlds. I love the two band preamp, the thought of a Sterling neck with this is a win/win for me.

On a related note, I love the look of the Big Al, but prefer the wider Stingray/Bongo neck. I don't suppose this option may be available for Big Als in future?

Might sound dumb, but wouldn't the pictures look about the ame as any other Ray or Sterling? The neck profile won't make that big a difference in a picture. Or are these going to be in any special color? Maybe I am missing something.

You didn't miss a thing. They'll look just like any other Ray but with a Sterling neck. Sometimes we get a little too excited and anxious to see pics.

that's what ive been thinking all long... even mentioned it in some other thread. sure, the logo/silk-screen on the headstock will look different otherwise it will look like every other SR youve seen

Never owned a Sterling so I don't know but isn't the headstock smaller too?

It actually would be great to have the neck profile option on any bass fitting the same neck length, i.e. StingRay, Sterling, Big Al, all to be had with either a StingRay or Sterling neck. Hm. Just a thought...

What are you guys, guitarists? I've just given them a piece of my mind for asking for EVEN MORE options.
I expect more from you bassists. (Which is probably foolish.)

Isn't that the problem with all of these threads?
