What *I'd* like to see is a winning lottery ticket so I could buy #5973.
EDIT: Whups. looks like someone already has.

It would surprise me if it had any effect. But then, my understanding of the physics involved is a layman's.
It makes them more aromatic and flavorful!

Is that done on a rotisserie? Also, do you over a broasted and/or slow-cooked and/or smoked option?
My guess is it would result in you rationalizing/hearing that there were no dead spots on the bass, given the upcharge cost of that option

Poorly phrased / invalid question?

Yeah, no.
Taken off of Musicman's website, who also offer a roasted neck:
Performance benefits of a thermally modified microstructure:
Adds dimensional stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes
Increases resistance to warping
Reduces density while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength
Yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower moisture content
More resonance and less damping
Eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments
Vibrational testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger fundamental than untreated maple samples

I was just YouTubing the Paul Simon concert in Harare in uh... 87, I guess?
The video quality is pretty low, but I'm pretty sure that Ray Phiri's rocking a Sadowsky Strat. Anyone know if I'm seeing that right?

This questions probably been asked 1000 times and answered the same way, but has anyone ever sold all of their vintage basses and kept their Sadowskys? I have a serious urge to simplify and am about to put a few old "keepers" on the block. I justify feel really happy with my Sadowskys and only have an urge for different appointments right now-lighter, fancier top, black hardware-aesthetic stuff. Damn you, Roger!
It's not quite what you're asking, but I did have the "full green light" from my wife to buy a friend's sweet '69 Jazz bass. He was kind enough to lend it to me on a gig, (Thanks, Jerry J!) and after playing back to back sets with it and my Sadowsky, I decided not to buy it. It was pretty much exactly what I was wanting in a vintage Fender, and IMO it just didn't measure up. It also attracted a lot more attention in a somewhat worrisome way. I've never worried as much about my Sadowskys as I did about that Fender.
Similar experience here after owning a 62' Pbass, ala 'my dream bass'. The alder/brz rw PJ5 I sold to Bluesy just killed it in a mix IMO.
Someday, I'll get that experience. But at home in the private playing/recording, it kills there too.
I love it!
