Title: Eligilam's Stanley Deluxe
Post by: eligilam on March 25, 2006, 08:48:54 AM

Greetings to all.  I got this '04 Stanley Deluxe a few weeks ago, and it blows my other basses (Rickenbackers and Fenders) out of the water, U-571-style.    This posting site is my new web favorite---such a collegiate group!  Will be in touch...here's some pics of the new family member.  Regards,  Will D.

I see you've also got LEDs. A nice addition to a beautiful instrument.
Enjoy,
Mike

I'm cuckoo for coco bolo.
 
Also, the side LEDs make for a true Zen experience when playing at home alone in the dark with a little delay on top...

Very nice! the LEDs are a very nice touch.
Is cocobolo and upcharge for this model? my SC deluxe has Rosewood Top/Back which I still think is listed as standard, but I always see them with cocobolo these days.

On the quote calculator thingee from the main website, cocobolo is not listed as an extra charge.  So the standard deluxe (hmmm...oxymoron?) could have it.

Its a little unclear ... they say it on the Basses>Sig Deluxe page that Rosewood is the Standard but I have not seen a recent one with it. No biggie at all just wondering, I know alot of the older SCD's used rosewood.
Thats some retail !!!

I have a SC Deluxe in coco bolo and it's a great looking wood, depending on the light and angle it seems to change colour from deep red to a light orange colour.
 
That's a lovely bass.... and I bet it sounds great.
