Buttercream

[lamerjay]

Anyone have any real pics of the Buttercream run? It looks great online, I'd like to see some more pics. I may order one...

Here's mine:

Good luck finding one, though...

The buttercream basses are the 2005 Limited Edition, so the production ended awhile ago.

There may still be a few new ones at some dealers (BC maybe), and used ones show up from time to time.

What configuration are you looking for??

God, I love this bass. I recently turned down a trade for this bass for an Adam Nitti Signature Warrior bass. The Warrior retails for, what, 2 or 3 times the cost for this'n, but she ain't goin' nowhere!

I had a wierd dream that I owned one of these last night. Sigh... maybe one day. That is quite a sexy bass!

Here's some pics I took today, but they don't do the color justice.

I think Bass Central has all of their new Buttercream basses marked at list price, because they can.

So, I'd jump on Brad's beauty.

Beautiful pics guys.
BC has these models available:
LTD StingRay 4 Buttercream/Maple Matching Headstock
LTD StingRay Buttercream / Rosewood Matching Headstock
StingRay 5 HH Dual Humbuckers/Buttercream/Rosewood Matching Headstock
LTD StingRay 5 Buttercream/Maple Limited Edition, Matching Headstock
LTD StingRay 5 Buttercream / Rosewood Matching Headstock
LTD Bongo 4 Buttercream / Rosewood Tortoise Shell
RARE! Bongo LTD Bongo 5 HH/Buttercream/Rosewood Matching Headstock,
5 LTD Edition HH LEFTY Buttercream Matching Headstock
And they always come way off the list price if you call them. Finding one is not the problem, picking one is...

Is that what you saw on the website, or what they told you on the phone?

And, I know they normally come down off of list, but someone here mentioned that they were selling the LTD ED Buttercreams for list since they were no longer available and were now "rare and collectible." This could have been faulty information, too.

This one is pretty accurate.

The buttercream HH SR5 above posted by Mike is a PLAYER too. I don't see how his G&Ls get any time.

That is the info on the website, but I have checked on other brands LTD's before I was looking for a MM and they come off the price of those even though they are the only ones left so I'm sure they will come off. They have always been good to me in the past. I'll shoot an email and find out. I really want one! I'm just glad I tried some MM's before I bought something else! I really like the tobaco burst w/ clear PG too, but think I'll shoot for a BC to start my collection! ...
