EBMM StingRay Special Club

[Geri O]

Im loving the Mike Lull. Active jazz is my favorite bass, and that one is a beast!

The Stingray is great. It’s really well made and feels amazing. But next to the Lull, the tone pales in comparison. The more I played it the more I realized it won’t get gigged. So I decided to send it back to Sweetwater. Good news is, it’ll be back up for sale soon, and likely with a discount. So someone can get a great deal on a fantastic bass.

Man, I hate to hear that! No doubt the Lull is very tough competition.

Both the Classic single-pup Stingray tone and the Jazz bass both-pups 100% (or 50/50 balance) are very near and dear to my heart. That’s why I lohave to have one of each.

No doubt, you couldn’t be in better shape with that oh so beautiful M5V. If I just had to scale back to a single bass, it would be my M5V.

Bit I’m glad I don’t have to and won’t have to for the foreseeable future….

Enjoy the Lull! I know you will!

I have a thing for leopard print and white/black contrast like stripes and my dream bass from a young girl was a 2band StingRay white / maple /black pickguard.
White with black accents is very old school nod to days of funk, rock, and punk gone by. I love it. But something about white sparkle and gold just looks more elegant and classy to me. White blocks would look great with the gold and sparkle. Black blocks and hardware for the old school classic vibe.
Classy vs classic. Either way, it will look great.

Thanks. It was actually a tough decision… and one of the reasons you shouldn’t buy multiple basses in a short period of time, I guess.

I’ll still have other basses but I have a feeling the Lull is going to be a permanent fixture for a long time.

I'll always remember with regret when I could have ordered a new Lull for $1500 but it seemed like too much money.

In December 2019 Special Burnt Apple I almost bought was $2100;The GC Exclusive re-release of Burnt Apple finish[with added matched headstock] which I bought in 8/23 was $2700 and still is.

The good ole days are getting shorter in-between

I still can't believe I got my new old stock Aqua Sparkle 5H for $1600 just over 2 years ago...

I am potentially interested in a lined fretless 5H but want to wait until someone buys one and decided to sell it! Just don't think I can do new prices

So someone out there please buy a Grape Crush 5H fretless and then decide to sell it!

I would love to get a 5H or HH fretless. There’s a color that looks very much like my first stingray that I foolishly let go years ago. It would be very cool to reincarnate that old fella.

I’m ordering!!

Keen to look at the price for a left-handed Stingray 5 Special, to replace my 10.5lbs 2011 SR5.

I saw this one on Sweetwater. I love that color. Congrats!

 

[Moonskunk]

Hmmm, I don't get any hum . At least not any that I have noticed. I hope you didn't just jinx me. (LOL).

No hum from my 4HH either using the in between switchs trick, and any hum even minimal hum is a huge no no in my rig.

 

[Moonskunk]

Yes. Coming soon New Custom Design Experience .

Ernie Ball Music Man: New at NAMM 2024!

I think my next Special will be either a Grape Crush 4H with maple fret board, 4H Genius Gold with maple fret board or 4H Hot Honey with ebony fret board. Either of those three I think would look awesome.
