EBMM StingRay BFR 20th Anniversary?

[sballow]

I just spotted this beauty on eBay and I was wondering if anybody knows anything about it? Is it like the rare redwood basses? It looks to have a roasted maple neck? How could somebody misplace this!

Weird, I don't remember a 20:th with roasted neck?
But they do post the serial F20794, so I hope someone from EBMM will chime in shortly.

thats probably one of the few with a koa top. they had mahogany necks

might even be a one off!

Looks like the one-off with a Makore top Tony Levin played at the Bass Player live events a few years ago. If I remember right it is a mahogany neck.

The 20th SR5 is an amazing beast. I wish I still had mine. I'm not sure if it's worth $2999, but to each his own.

If Tony Levin played it, it is worth every penny if not more!

And I believe someone mentioned that those BFR's got the Sterling Ball secret Mojo toenail clip in the neck joint that is usually exclusively put in Bongos

Dont hesitate!!! See if you can talk them down a bit. It is a beautiful bass!!!
