EBMM StingRay Special Club

There's a REALLLLLLLLY nice white / rosewood Special on Reverb right now. I have personally never seen this color combination, and the only other one I can find on the entire internet is an old Sweetwater discontinued item page.

This would look absolutely amazing with a tortoise guard:

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 H | Reverb

Mus. Not. Buy. :eek:


This is another pretty rare color that I like: Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 H 2020 - Ghostwood | Reverb
Oh man, that white is so deadly.

A retailer here in Canada was advertising the one below which is the ghostwood finish but with a rosewood neck. As far as I know, that was never an option so I don't know if this was a mistake or a photoshop error. I kind of wanted it but figured I'd order it and it would be the maple fretboard version that would arrive.

You are right. Maybe someone swapped out a neck.
 
That is a sweet color! I'll bet Sterling is cursing out whoever convinced him to do that harvest orange color. Plenty of those left around in the vault.

I think they just have the harvest orange ones listed in each configuration as options but when you click them, they say ships in 4 months so it seems like theyre not actually in stock and just making those as orders come in.

Yikes! And I thought my 4H Snowy Night was high at $2700. My first Special a 4H Maroon Mist at $2100 now seems like a bargain.

Haha ya, my first special was my BFR fretless which I got used for ~1500 usd.

I still feel like I struck the jackpot buying my Aqua Sparkle 5H from Reverb, which was listed as used, for $1600. Turns out it was NOS and totally new, warranty unclaimed, etc.

Speaking of fretless, still holding out on a Special 5H fretless with a lined ebony board... Maybe a BFR one day
