Hi and welcome to the forum.
For a new SR5, select hardwood will be Ash. As long as it was built after around April of 2008, the pickup will be alnico.

As opposed to "unselect hardwood" you get on other brand basses.

Would an Unselected hardwood still be stuck in a tree?

Unselect hardwood = plywood

That's a good price. My guess is that cherryburst is not as popular? I love cherryburst, but I don't see it as much as the others like honeyburst and tobacco burst.

what's different bt cherry b and honey b ? Cherryburst's little more reddy in both the middle and the side ?
Yeah I suspect they just had an overrun/excess stock in that particular finish. Within a few days of my order the price went back up commensurate with other finishes in the line.
Anyway I am happy with the bass so far. I've never spent this much on a bass before. The neck is outstanding - this is my first 5-string but I felt right at home on it. And the electronics are quite flexible. I will say that plucked acoustically my 90's USA Hamer Cruise (4-string Jazz style-string through bridge) kills it as far as resonance and sustain. Perhaps this new MM just needs some time to age and settle(?)
