i think its the newer double pup rays that people want to try out. i guess they are selling their single pups to pay for their double pups.

unless...

they're all going to get bongos

[fleabee]

I liked flea's wal sound best..but then again i like every wal recording

[popinfresh]

I'd be thinking because of the double bucks, H/J and Bongo's.

[cheezewiz]

Because there are a lot of them out there.

i think it's just like the tide...now it is all EBMM, before that i remember seeing every other FS thread selling their warwick, before that i saw a lot of fenders...selling your EBMM is the trendy thingto do right now

but i am not complaining...it gives some of us people a chance to get a good price on a higher-end bass

+1. I'm waiting for the Sadowsky dump!





*still holding breath*




C'mon guys, anyday now.

I see a lot of Warwick Thumbs for sale...hardly ever see any other model (except the Corvette)...is this a novelty thing where people buy it and then get tired of it?? The Thumb has that really distinctive sound...

[phxlbrmpf]

I'd say people figured out Flea recorded most of BSSM with a Wal.

[ElMon]

Alot of guys I know, and to a certain degree I'll include myself, search for a more versatile pickup/electronics setup than the one on the Stingray, which IMO is a 'one-trick tone pony', although its a damn good one. I got rid of mine long ago after playing a real Tobias, which was like having 4 distinctive basses in one georgeous, infinitely playable package.

All that being said, I'm perfectly comfortable on that other one-tricker: big daddy P!!!!

I think you're right.

[tplyons]

Yep, I remember the Metro dump. A Shame I was broke then.

I think the EBMM dump is due to the new double pup models.

[CamMcIntyre]

I'm looking forward to a Sadowsky dump when i have enough money to afford one. I'd go for an Epifani 1X10 or 1X12 dump here in a few months [if things go well-i'll be getting an AI/Epifani rig].

I have to say-if i had the money to pickup one of these Ray5s that are goin for cheap [i haven't saw em yet]-i'd jump on it even if it was just to pickup another one to have setup with flats.

Indeed.

You won't see me sell my Sterling though.

Ever.
