2014 PDN Neptune Blue - who's ordered what?

[Tollywood]

What a nice neck, David!

 

[drTStingray]

The roasted neck was the clincher for me. I had decided on a fretless around the beginning of the year and was waiting for a limited edition with a roasted maple neck to order one. I was not disappointed.
Nice bass DrTStingray

Thanks KevinM. I agree, the roasted maple neck is the best I've ever played. The mahog Sabre is pretty rare and the sound is somewhat different from my SR4HH. First gig with it is a wedding at the end of the month. I can't wait!!

is the Neptune blue still available to order? is it an upcharge over a regular priced EBMM?

Nope, order window closed a few months ago. It was reopened for a week in August but is now closed. Your best bet if you want one is to check with dealers in the preferred dealer network to see if they have any stock. I suspect there are still a few out there.

Bass Central has several in stock, many aren't listed on their website. I just ordered my Stingray 5 HS from them on Friday, despite their website not having any HS models in the 5 string.

Thomann also have an SR5 listed on their site for any Europeans wanting one.

Has anyone seen either a Sterling, Big Al or Reflex bass PDN Neptune Blue. If so could someone post some pictures?

 

[delonybro]

My HS came in yesterday!

Seems impossible to photograph the green shimmer that the neptune blue has, but it's still sexy! I couldn't believe the flame that was on my neck - just gorgeous.

I was not expecting this blessing today-
I found a new in box Neptune SR4H in Canada and I bought it at a ridiculous price-be here in ten days. this was beyond my dreams

@delonybro
Congrats! Yet another stunner, and your tiger looks even more dangerous than mine. Wouldn't like to meet it in the forests...

...or wouldn't I?...


@joebar
Congrats you too! Yes, irrational belief system stuff does happen.
Is how I got mine too.
(though I do feel sorry for the person who had to give it up. Can feel his/her pain.)

Being flabbergasted about the Neptune Blues with maple fretboard, I'm freeing up capital as fast as I can (polite term for selling my mother, wife, kids, and dog).

Up to now, 've ordered:
StingRay 4-H, maple fretboard
Bongo 5-H, maple fretboard

I missed both ordering windows, so must accept what I happen to find in shops, but it's a sad day on the planet when one is not overtly happy about an SR 4-H and a Bongo 5-H!

Yesterday, I took reception of this:










Let's just say I'm not an overtly unhappy man right now.

that has to be a record for the wildest, most dramatically figured piece of maple I have ever seen. I can only dream that when mine arrives that it looks like this

 

[Tollywood]

@ BassTractor....WOW - now that is a flamey neck!

 

[LoEnd]

So I'm guessing that the ordering window for the Bongo Neptune Blue has passed? I think I'm late to the party.

Hi, you're too late to place an order, but many of the dealers bought them and your model may be out there waiting for you.

 

[LoEnd]

Thanks for the reply. I've searched some locally but couldn't find anything. Anyone know of a place selling a 5 HH model?

I found one for you at Bass Central.

Bass Central - New Arrivals!

 

[LoEnd]
