Traded for a 20th Anniversary 5 string a while back but could never get the action right. After much consultation and wrenching of hands, sent it back to SLO for a new roasted maple neck. Went with a maple board instead of the original rosewood too as all of my other 5ers are rosewood. Just got it back and WOW!! Definitely a one-off now, I would think. They even added the 20th Anniversary decal. Big ups to Billy at EBMM!!

I had no idea the factory would swap necks. Is it because the old one was unable to be brought to specs?

Yes. I think the original neck was twisted.

Wow, they really went above and beyond with the roasted neck. Do they update the serial# database? I can imagine an authenticity conversation 20+ years from now over how that bass got that neck

Not sure if the serial# database is updated, but I have the receipt which details the change (in case there are any doubters out there in 2043!).
