That's the ticket! Beautiful bass, congratulations!
Looking for that combo myself...Curious if you found any with a Tort Guard? Thanks!
Peace,

Unfortunately, with this line, they are only offering the basses as they are with no options as far as pickguards are concerned. Unless you specifically special order a different color pg. The only one I've seen with a tort guard so far has been a white one, which is really nice.
bought a classic 4 a few weeks ago (classic white w/tort gaurd) for $1,450 with the hard case. Have only played one gig with it and it smoked! Even the guys in the band couldn't believe the tone. My first MusicMan by the way going from a Carvin 6 that I've had for over 10 years. I'll put some pics up soon.
I REALLY would like to see this! Birdseye or flame neck?
I'm pretty sure that it's called the "standard" neck with rosewood fretboard. I honestly like the look of the Birdseye better but this neck just felt so smooth and fast that I couldn't resist. Plus I'm going from a 6-string back to a 4 so it felt sooo comfortable...
Well,
After literally about a day's worth of detective-work, I found one!
It started off by calling EBMM and asking for an update on the classic series, as I was told at NAMM that they weren't going to release the natural config as part of the main line of classics... Possibly in the future... But it turned out that they did release about 15 of the classics in the configuration I was looking for: Natural 4-string, 2EQ, Maple Neck & Fretboard and black pickguard (a la Louis Johnson, Bernard Edwards and Paul S. Denman). Thanks to the very helpful staff at GC Murrieta, I located one in La Mesa, CA. Well, luckily I was off yesterday and today and that just meant ROAD-TRIP TIME!!!
After an hour and a half's drive down to La Mesa, I was there... Everything was still in the box!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHooooo Hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
The salesperson hadn't even opened the box and placed it on display yet. In fact, he was supposed to do that all day yesterday. Not this one, I'll take that, thanks.
