a few have made it out into players hands, mostly discussed on the EBMM forum.

Hey my friend!
Ya know she really is "too pretty to be played".
I barely play this Ray or the Ice Blue BFR Ray.
They are case queens without doubt.
I know some people subscribe to the idea if it does not get played sell it...But not me.
I take them out and play them here and there.
They are the last two Rays I have left.
Betting they are lifers.
BUT?
If I ever let it go, you have Dibs for sure bro!

Thanks. I'm still selling most of my equipment too. I can only afford to keep the ones that I gig regularly.

Two recent EBMM additions to the stable
Snapped a few "Beauty shots" of these two this afternoon.
Taken on a couch at home near a window, rather dim light.

this thread doesn't get much action, don't quite know why, there's plenty of EBMM love to go around I suppose.

Here's a pic of my Classic Sterling with a new tort guard. I love this bass.

Here's my Blue Pearl Sterling. Awesome bass. Alas, G.A.S. has struck again and I must part with this one to fund another one.

I have been saving my damn money for two years to afford a music man, and finally, I mean finally! I bought my dream bass today! So, I'll be sending a PM for my number. :-)

I'm hoping to check out a Classic SR 5 tomorrow to see how I like the concept. Pray for me and my wallet.

I bought a new Stealth Sterling H today, and the GC salesman told me that GC was dropping EBMM. He didn't specify if it was just his store or all of them across the board, but I understood his tone to mean all of them. He claimed it's because they just don't move enough of them to make it worthwhile. It's certainly possible that he was blowing smoke during the sale, but all the EBMM guitars that were there two days ago were gone. And they have had the same 5 Stingray 4s and 5s for 6 months.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but does anybody know if there's any truth to this rumor.

BTW, this is my third Sterling. There's something about them that keeps me coming back.

No idea. They are quite high end, so perhaps the everyday bassist doesn't reach for them for a normal bass, if you get me?

Shame....I imagine GC are a large buyer of their gear. I'm sure EBMM will be fine though...they always have a waiting list!

Same thing here. There were 3 classics left. They are on clearance. I was told that that at this particular store, they would no longer be a Music Man distributor. They just don't move enough of them.
