EBMM StingRay Classic Club

The body by itself or fully loaded? Are the electronics and parts all original ? Is the paint original or is it a refinish ?
Just the fully loaded body, all original. Only things not included would be the actual neck & mounting screws (original mounting plate included.)

When I got my Classic, the previous owner had Rotosound flatwounds on it. I loved the sound especially in recordings, but the feel wasn't quite my forte. It's worn stainless steel rounds since last August, but I wonder how stainless flats might sound. If anyone here has experience with flatwounds on their Classics, do share your stories.

It's the absolute best. I have gone through ALL the flats on Stingrays and have stuck with extra light Chromes. The fit my stingray PERFECTLY. Ernie Ball Cobalt flats & Group flats are pretty good on a Stingray too, as are Dunlop flats. You need a flat that's a little brighter but still thumpy. IMO, stay away from super warm/dark flats that otherwise shine on a P bass. They make the Stingray sound too generic IMO. Sounds fine but a little boring.
