Here's my EBMM Fretless 1992
D.Don
That's a nice looking bass. Did EB use pau ferro in the nineties?
I believe they used rosewood until sometime around when that bass was made so it might be rosewood.
Most, if not all, EB fretless are pau ferro. A few rosewood fretless may have slipped through in 84 or 85, but only because the Pre-EBs were rosewood.
I have no idea, for me the fretboard looks pretty much like rosewood, but this was not really my major in school .. hehe.

my 93 is pau ferro. Or so it has been told told to me. It is definetly not rosewood. Its way harder.
My '88 is definitely rosewood. And judging from the registration info on www.musicmanbass.org, it seems that Pau Ferro was indeed introduced in the early 90's.
@D. Don: Beautiful! What strings do you have on it?
Well, Sterling can be quoted at least twice on the EB forum saying that he's pretty sure they have always used pau ferro and there are 2 fretless on gavin's site from '88 listed with pau ferro and at least one '89 in the SR4 serial number section.
So there may have been a few rosewood fretless that got through in the first few EB years, but I'm pretty sure they were using pau ferro before the 90's.
Well, my first EBMM didn't go so well- I got a SUB in black but I didn't really like it that much. About a month ago though I picked up this guy and love it. It's my new number one bass!

Love the Black/Black Pearl.............Really looks good on the Stingray 5!
Wait, are those Candy Cane Boxers in the lower photo?
The latest addition to my EBMM clan. The now discontinued Carbon Blue finish which I ordered back in mid August and it arrived yesterday.

I love the black with matching headstock/black pearloid pg! Awesome fiver!
About carbon blue pearl, it just looks so ford taurus to me. I find it out of place on an EBMM. But to each their own.

Stunning. Carbon Blue looks great with the maple neck.

LOL, I'm not sure- I think so? These are actually the seller's pictures... I have some pics of my own that I need to get up though!
Cheers!
At the moment, labella Jamerson's, at first I thought they where to thick for a fretless, but I really start to like em now, was thinkin of goin down to some thinner labella flats with 103 or 105 on the E, but I think I'll leave it like this fore some more months...
I have some Chromes on incoming but they will probably go on my c5 instead ...
