EBMM StingRay Special Club

Sooooo jealous. That's exactly what I would snag!

After being strictly a Fender guy, out of nowhere I had begun a hard lust after one of the EBMM Stingray Classic 2EQs; but once I found a StingRay Special out in the wild I totally swooned over the roasted maple neck and re-voiced 3EQ preamp of the new Special. Keeping it Classic, I finally got down on a knee and made this Natural 4H StingRay Special my very own, and hereby submit for membership in this distinguished club.

You can definitely see the difference in bridges compared to my 2016 Stingray.
Nice colour choice by the way.

Superb!


Now, how long is it going be, before EBMM start roasting the Ash bodies, for a unified colour throught the neck & body, on the natural finish instruments? :D

This has been added to the shopping list, after the Cutlass, and Caprice...

Beautiful bass!

Speaking of waiting- anyone have a sense for what the true wait times are? Sweetwater told me I’d wait til April-July 2019 for a natural/rosewood, but GC’s website says about 4 weeks for the same configuration.

Each dealer knows when they will have them available. They will all be different depending on sell through and when a reorder was placed.

Some of you may have noticed that I, the club creator, sold his 5H Special. Fear not! ‘‘Twas merely a brief absence from the club as I have realized that the 4HH better aligns with my needs. So, after a two day absence, I’m back in.

EDIT: 8lbs 12oz for those keeping track of weights. 8.5 is my ideal, so this is close enough.

Did a gig last night with the new 5H and it's really growing on me. This is the first 5'r I've owned and they're is a definite learning curve. I've played quit a bit with the BEAD tuning so the low strings weren't an issue but found myself hunting the D and G strings at times. I did notice the lower strings were noticibly louder than the D and G so I'm gonna tweek the pup height and see if I can balance it out.
Lots more punch than my old bass. Love it!

So when the dealer website says more expected soon and I call to inquire when and said dealer tells me they are expecting one this weekend and my name will be on it so I place my order. Then I call back on Monday and they say it never showed up and Ernie Ball has pushed the delivery date back to December are they telling me the truth ?
This is what happened to me last week and I quickly cancelled my order and went elsewhere.
