Is there any way to find out what dealers have ordered a specific model?

I'm looking for a Refelex 5 Hss in white maple board.

You would think I knew this by now...:confused:

Thanks,

John

NP, they helped me when I was searching for my 25th fretless... they know all (locations of unsold MM instruments).

Besides you aren't supposed to have to think on Sundays.

Your advantage is that You are located in the USA, so maybe is possible to find wanted model in regional stores (with CS help), but I'm afraid if there is any, You'll still have to wait couple of months to arrive, 'cause it's whole new model and it's still in production process! ;) (well I think so)

Good luck with Your search!

P.S. ...I bet HSS is a killer too, but I've decided for HH, 'cause bridge H at sweetspot and very interesting inner coils mode, also can't wait to try neck H alone...etc!

I ordered a white HSS in November. It arrives mid February. I think it's only available with a rosewood board. The wait is killin me but I'll survive.

I ordered white RX 5 HH maple FB in late August 2010., so as You can see, it's possible to order maple boarded white RX, but I doubt that dealers in regular procedure ordering anything else except "as shown" at official EBMM web page! :rolleyes:

So, if You really wanna White rx with maple fret board, You'll have to order one!

Just realized my error. The picture on the MM page of the white HSS looks as if the board is Ebony which is the fingerboard I asked for, not maple. I would have loved an ebony fingerboard but all good still the same. I'll post pics when I get it unless one of you guys get one up here sooner!

Keep it low!

May be a trick of the light in the shot. The headstock is white. Fretboard is rosewood. Before I even plugged it in to an amp, I played it acoustically for a bit. The tone was so solid and crisp! Plugged it in to my rig and just lost it! No joke, without a doubt the best sounding bass I have ever owned. (My Curbow is a very close second.) For the record, this Reflex 5 was purchased in New Jersey and will die with me in New Jersey. Hahaha!

Oh I see, white headstock and rw board, that's regular factory option, congrats one more time Man and happy 40th Anniversary!

Talkin' 'bout unplugged tone, exactly like You wrote, tight/solid and crispy (I tried 25th, but the same thing), the best unplugged bass I ever tried! ;)

Talkin' 'bout plugged in, ...just wow! (I tried single H 4 banger, so will see about mine HH 5 banger when arrive) ;)

Your HSS looks stunning! :)

Where in NJ did you find it?
