New Bass(es) Day!

[Jakka1]

Well, it is shaping up to be an awesome day! Today I will get 2 new EBMM basses! Earlier this morning I got a BFR Reflex 5HH - Black Sugar finish w/Roasted Birdseye neck and Ebony board. Now, I am getting ready to head over to Glory Days Music in Joplin, MO to pick up my new All Rosewood Neck Stingray SLO special.

Here's some pics of the Reflex... SLO to follow...



...and now for the SLO

My old Reflex !! Enjoy man. Make is sing! I loved Dean Marklex Helix SS strings with it the best FYI although I never tried Cobalts on it I would go that route as they will fit better

Just curious but what does the rosewood neck do for the tone of the bass? I know what wenge and purpleheart do for the tone and a combo of those two for a neck are my favorites.

Nice basses!!

The rosewood should soften the tone a bit

I would agree & it warms up the tone a bit as well. This is definitely much warmer than the Maple neck Stingray I used to own. I have never owned a Rosewood board Stingray. It would be interesting to know how much difference there is between an all rosewood and a rosewood board only.

Thanks Tunaman! She is sweet!! Shipped with new strings, but Cobalts definitely need to happen soon.
