Glad I got these 2 black basses when I did, seeing as I'm reading the M-2000 is being discontinued, and no more block inlays for built to order. I love the Old School Tobacco Sunburst on my SB-1, and dig the blocks on it also
3 killer basses right there!!!
All this black bass and tobacco sunburst talk made me realize something. When I started playing, my two least favorite instrument colors were black and tobacco sunburst. Looking at the instruments I now own, most are black or variations of tobacco sunburst (noting that I tend towards the lighter variations of it). Apparently my tastes have changed over the last 23 years.
On an old school tobacco sunburst related note, my Kiloton is supposed to be getting sent back with a replacement neck this week.

Sweet!...grats. Was that a custom order, or did you find it in-stock somewhere?
This one is a CLF Made-to-Order spec with ebony fingerboard and matching graphite headstock. I'm still learning, but my understanding is that this is one-step down from custom shop. The fit/finish is impeccable and I'm in love. I found this one in stock at Fretnation and I called up Jason and he made me a killer deal. Like, so good that I keep worrying the cops are gonna show up at my door asking for it back...
Out of curiosity, how does one go about getting a deal? I've never really been sure how to ask if there are any discounts available
Just ask. Hahaha. I never regard that as rude, in fact I kind of expect it. Heck, I almost feel bad when somebody doesn't ask.
I actually ordered an LB-100 through you. Is it too late to ask?27184364[/URL], member: 102306"]Just ask. Hahaha. I never regard that as rude, in fact I kind of expect it. Heck, I almost feel bad when somebody doesn't ask.

Hahaha. Did it ship already? If it were a special order, you'd already have my best price. So I'm guessing it did already ship? If so, the best I can do is offer to make it up to you on the next order for whatever.

Ah gotcha. It hasn't shipped yet but it was an option order, so it sounds like I'm already set!
Nice - Especially that SB-1. Those black block inlays on maple really make it pop. I bet it sounds killer

It's a great bass, I'll be playing it later today ! My first bass ever was a Fender Precision, and I was searching for a USA made Fender when I saw this, glad I got it. I have a MIM Precision, which plays and sounds nice really, but the SB-1 is just a fuller, better sound, feel and look all around IMO. Have a great day !

My Precision style basses, the MIM Pbass is decent, the SB-1 is smooth but powerful
