Lord Bongo wins for the most part. The rarest of rare is the one that makes me play better. Still looking for it!!

Hello, I have a 77 Maple fretless on the serial number database. B005726...White with FRETLESS MAPLE. Said to be 34.5 inch scale length (not the normal 34 inch scale). I'm trying to find out if this is the first maple fretless Music Man made. And I can confirm the 34.5 inch scale to be true. do you have any info?

This one looks pretty rare to me. Very nice sugarfarmer!

I once had a Trans White StingRay5 with maple fingerboard and factory tort pickguard -- I think it was an early 90's -- I've never seen one since, so I guess it was rare. I've always regretted trading that one away :(

I have one in that exact configuration. Well, I swapped necks onto another bass I own.

My old SLO Special Spy vs. Spy HH. This is rare because it doesn't exist in any offered configuration. I had to buy two SLO HH's and cross-pollenate. :D

I have a sterling 5 spy vs spy and I know of a bongo 5 spy vs spy. The mahogany bongo above might be the rarest. What about the reflex with the rosewood neck and maple fb, that is very rare.
