Just to clarify the reasons for the BASE RETAIL upcharge:

1) Burst Sparkle
2) Custom inlay
3) Custom G&G case
4) All have matching headstocks ( Bongo has a bursted neck)

Yeah. I gotta admit, the upcharge is a bit more than I expected. That's okay, though. It's not much more than I expected.

well even though im not getting a blue dawn, a $500 up charge on standard models wouldnt really bother me that much. Thats not to say that $500 isnt alot of money for me, but more that I trust EBMM enough to realise that the increase wouldnt be for nothing and that if im paying the extra, then im going to be getting something which alot more effort has gone into, and to me thats worth it.

When i told people what i was paying for my 30th over here in the merry old land of Oz, they gaped at me, told me i was mad, and one person even punched me, but it didnt really bother me because i knew the amount of effort that had gone into those 30ths and i knew i was getting something special.

so yeh, i think people sometimes also forget that EBMM's for how good they are, are VERY reasonably priced.

also HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY TO ALL THE THE AUSSIE FORUMITES!

hahaha that made my day :D

well not to that severity, but i got a fairly hard punch to the arm by a mate. took me by surprise it did

most people were just polite enough to tell me i was an idiot, and that i should use the money to buy an old beat up car with 400,000 miles on it that would break as soon as i bought it and would forever smell like chedder cheese and probably end up killing me in some horrible car accident (not in those exact words maybe :D )

That sounds like justification to me...not that I needed any. So, the neck is sparkly as well.....interesting. :cool:

happy australia day!!

who cares about the price rise??
the upcharge is nothing compared to the endless man hours that the godsend workers at ebmm that are dedicated to make such a fine piece of art

I just found out the street price on an 07 LE and it is extremely reasonable. I paid more than that for a Czech made Spector (And the MM SR is definitely a better bass!)

Oh yea, and that was for alefty. So yes, they are available left handed. :0
