Custom Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray (natural wood finish) trade/buy Quote:
this is a completely custom bass that i had made for me when ernie ball music man had the make your own bass custom orders in 2009
why its custom:
- i asked for a natural wood finish, raw, not shiny
- i asked for bartolini bass pickups for a better sounding bass
- i usually trip and pull out the chord when i play since it comes out through the bottom so i asked for it to come out through the front of the body with only 3 tone knobs instead of 4
- when i do bass spins and all that stuff i usually get the bottom tuner knob of the bass caught in something so i asked for a headstock that has 4 on the top as opposed to the usual 3 on top 1 on bottom
- they let me put a custom logo on my bass, which is right next to the ernie ball logo
- i asked for a 4 screw backplate so there are less holes = better sound (as opposed to the 6 hole backplate)
its natural raw wood finish with black stripe along the edge of the body
bartolini pickups sound amazing
brand new strings
selling it because i dont play bass anymore.
note: this IS a CUSTOM stingray model that i payed about 500 bucks extra to make so OBVIOUSLY its not going to look like all of the other stingray models
700 dollars OR trade for a GOOD bass...no ****** mexican made fenders or squiers or ibanez stuff
| Who else can say "partially stripped Chinese knockoff with a bartolini pickup?"

I could see maybe someone saying that "I bought this bass and was told as a custom" and being totally clueless while selling it. Not a straight up lie in everything single thing as to why its not a real Ray.

So did he quit playing bass or just wants to get a GOOD bass?

is that a truss rod access hole @ the base of the headstock? I think even the OLP's had the adjustment wheel...

My face hurts from laughing at this add. I dont recall EBMM offering a custom pick Your own parts bass, that was made out of cheap import parts. |

Ask for a serial number and check with EBMM '2009 super awesome custom order shopping spree database'. |
