New Bass Day! Another rare one stays in the forum

Beautiful! Congrats!

Btw., do You know how in my region bass players say for gloss finished maple necks with finished maple FB?

We use to called such a basses "faster"!!!

And there is something about that, You can really play faster with gloss finished necks!

The slab body, the smaller FB radius and the 2 band EQ are all non issues as far as feel is concerned. I never missed the contours, never noticed the rounder fingerboard and am quickly grasping the boost only EQ (it is fatter). The glossy neck feels different and I think I still prefer the satin wax/oil finish a bit for music that wanders all over the fretboard. For pocket playing though, the glossy is good to go.

Congratulations! And thanks for that review...

I really want one of those Seafoam Green Classics, but although I totally dig those beautifully figured necks would definitely prefer the oil & wax finished neck. Seems I need to get one of the few available at GC...

Lest I am misundertood, it's not THAT big of a difference and I am happy with the glossy neck for maybe 90% of my bass playing (the other 10% being wanky, showroom stuff). I also have to say that my 07LE is one heckuva build and I play it more than any bass I have thus it is pretty smooth

Gave it a set up last night. Like my other MMs it holds a super low action just above the point of buzzing. I also replaced the battery and the preamp kicked it up a notch!

I really want a Bass - that one will do nicely !!

Love that combination - pure class, love the retro feel, 4 strings, great looking neck, light, single hummer - man it ticks all the boxes.

Congrats.

I am feeling a pearloid pickguard...

But I dunno about altering it from stock... that's like putting a car bra on a 56 Corvette.

Nah, I'd do it. First time I saw it, I said, "Mother of toilet seat guard, fo shizzle."

PS: I have never actually said "fo shizzle".

Fantastic bass - congratulations. All these pics of classics are just giving me even more GAS pains waiting for mine to arrive.

I seem to remember you were angling for a shell pink one of these??!! Maybe I'm mistaken though.

 

[syciprider]

I was but there were none to be had (or so I thought until the GC ones were revealed). Besides, this one has some interesting provenance behind it.

Screaming for pearloid!

 

[syciprider]

I guess it's not going to be as blasphemous as I think. White pearloid pg incoming. It's going to look even sweeter!

 

[pudgychef]

stunning bass! congrats!

When you're at it, add a white pickup cover...

Naw, the black pup will distinguish it from my mint green Classic SR5
