Just picked this up from GC, wasn't planning on getting a bass but it was calling my name. It's got a really nice birdseye neck.   |

I have the exact same bass in the same color. I haven't regretted it once. I spend way too much time staring at the TB classifieds and all I have to do is play it to kill any level of GAS.

The necks seem a tad bit thinner in the back profile than the standard MM as well. However not like super thin, it's very comfy.
Edit: Oh forgot to mention, the radius is different than a standard sting ray. The Classics have a rounder more vintage radius.
