oh my word! That is stunning! I have been in an internet filtered environment in China since well before NAMM and have just heard of and seen these Classic Series basses in the last couple days. First I saw the green which I adored..then the white which caused great lust to form inside....but the blue I just saw on a google search....may have done me in..WOW WOW! They are sweet!!

Originally the Classic Bass didn't have a finished figured neck. It was decided to offer a new Deluxe Classic with a 7.5 inch radius & finished neck. The neck was also figured (optional Flame or Birds Eye), had smaller frets and a non-compensated nut. The Deluxe then became the standard Classic Bass.
