EBMM StingRay Special Club

Agree! I have the Always On version mounted under my pedal board. It's a great tool when the room we're playing makes me sound boomy or when I'm sending a feed to the board I can remove my low end so my stage amp isn't competing with the subwoofer. Although, when there's no boom to tame, I usually just lower the frequncy setting all the way so that it's not affecting my tone.

I think so. That and burnt apple. I saw both at gc earlier this week and they don’t seem to be available anywhere else.

Burnt apple looks so great under the lights.
When I was looking at Specials in late 2019
Burnt Apple was my choice had it in cart at Sweetwater but saw Fender just released Ultra Precision Ash body Plasma Red went that way
Nothing wrong with Ultra but it is coming up on 4 years now getting older 69 in September
like to give Special a go: did I mention it's my Birthday next month:)
 
Description says these come with soft shell case. I’m guessing that’s the new mono case. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they have the mysterious hard case that the new offerings from Sweetwater come with. Hmmmm I wish I knew more about what models get which case.

I was under the impression that the new hard cases with red lining came with the pastel specials and everything else gets the mono bag once the old hard case stock runs out. I would take the mono bag anyday.

Indeed!! Those have been out maybe 2 years now. Also one in silver flake called Platinum Punch. both GC exclusives.
Ironically, no GC anywhere close to me has a Stingray Special 4H except for the one 5 miles away that has this beauty.
Not going to even give it a test run for fear of love...
