You are in luck and can save some shekels! There is an unreliced option, which is cheaper than the super-fancy-reliced version.
Wonder how many they made, says sold out. Pretty cool bass, and I know why, but Id rather have the truss wheel at the heel.
I love those strings on my Sandberg. Based on that and the way I like TI Flats on my Fretless Special, I thinking the rounds would be a great match.
There are non-relic’d models for $3,500 if you go to the home page and then navigate back into the vault. Not quite as much mojo, but very cool all the same
I think it was 15 world wide.
That looks fantastic! They should re-release the classic natural finish in general, not just as an option in CDE.
Over the strings, but close.If you would be so kind to just place the tort on top of the black / just under the strings and take a pic , that would be so interestingto view.
Black was the better choice. Thanks for sharing this.
This is almost what I was hoping for when I ordered a Pacific Blue Burst. Looks like the back of the bass is fully black though right? That might be the turn off for me that prevents me from ordering a SRSNew bass day! And I finally join the Stingray Special club
This is a custom build from the CDE. Blue Dream finish, black hardware, ebony fretboard, flamed roasted maple neck.
Blue Dream really is the right way to describe this. It's absolutely stunning. I've only played it for a short while since it arrived but I think this is the most comfortable bass I've ever played. Instant favourite. It's so light as well. I picked it up out of the case and was amazed at the weight. Unfortunately I don't have anything to weigh it with so can't tell you what the actual weight is, but it's definitely lighter than my Spector Euro LX4.
I put the order in for this on 3rd April, got the notification that UPS were picking it up on 22nd May. A bit quicker than I expected. I'm in the UK, and the box arrived in the UK Friday night, right before a public holiday, so it sat (I'm guessing) in customs for a few days, but yesterday it finally started moving and today it finally arrived, 2 days earlier than UPS originally estimated.
I'm really really happy with this!

Yep, the back is just black with the Blue Dream finish. I don't mind it as that's against my body anyway.
