Quick question, what is everyone using for straplocks? I usually use Dunlop but I don’t want to mess with this one so not sure what to use.

I prefer Loxx, but they can be hard to find. Dunlop’s are my second choice.Quick question, what is everyone using for straplocks? I usually use Dunlop but I don’t want to mess with this one so not sure what to use.

Excellent! I have the same. When did you order/get yours? I'm patiently hoping/waiting for them to show up in the vault again.I am thrilled to share I just joined this amazing club
I was lucky to score my favorite color with my favorite fingerboard and my favorite neck (1.5) from the EBMM Vault
I wouldn’t change one thing, PERFECT!!!!
Sring Ray Special SLO
And amazing service from the vault and super fast shipping

I put Dunlops’ on all my basses. They are direct replacements for the stock units— no drilling, toothpicks, or dowels required. Can use any strap with or without the locking mechanism.Quick question, what is everyone using for straplocks? I usually use Dunlop but I don’t want to mess with this one so not sure what to use.
Right on. Must have missed that when it was in there. I love mine!i just got it Friday , order it last week, it was the last one![]()
Just saw this post. I tried to order the same one a few days after you and now I have to wait till OctoberJust snagged the last one of these that Sweetwater had in stock. I deliberated for two days over this or the Dark Ray, since GC had a couple. They sold out so I went with this one for a decent discount included.
I'm really hoping I can use this for most playing situations and cop a Pbass tone (sorta) when needed. My only concern is if I'll love the neck or if it will take time getting used to, as I play two jazz basses for my 4 string stuff right now.
I will say, this is a beautiful machine!

They crushed it with the finishes this round
Ya, they crushed it alright. I like last year's colors much better.
To each his own, but this years colors were my favorite since the special was released.
I really like this year's colours as well. I can understand why some people might not because I do think they tried to push the limits a bit this time in terms of unique and not-so-traditional colours. I like that kind of thing though. Last years finishes were very nice too though.
Like they didn't push the limits with Plumpkin.
I find the plumpkin to be a bit subtle to be honest. I love it and have yet to see it under stage lights, but it's not as flashy as something like the amethyst sparkle or the snowy night finishes. I also wouldn't consider the plumpkin as one of last year's finishes simply because it was limited to a run of 5 I think.
I never saw one in person but I like the idea of a paint that changes color under different angles. I wish they'd come up with another version and make it a regular (not limit it to 5) finish.
That is just beautiful…I just decided to take a few photos of that plumpkin bass since I was taking a new photo of my collect, figured why not while I have my wife's phone which takes nicer photos than mine:

Besides the plumkin and a few others mentioned, the SR Classic Sledge is also a color shifter.Agreed, it would be cool if they had done something like it for a regular run. I don't know how many they've done, but they have done other colour shifting finishes. The ones that come to mind for basses are the plumpkin, dargie delight (2nd version I believe), and the kinetic blue BFR from last winter. I recall they also did a BFR guitar that was a red/orange colour shift that I think they called something like cinnamon.
