EBMM StingRay Special Club

Great find. How could you not?!
Exactly!! I was actually hunting for a clear one but saw this and made an offer . I figured it was making up for my other terrible pickguard situation .
I really just paid for shipping . I’m very grateful!!!:)

It’s a nice shade of mirrored rose pink . It’s a reminder for me to always show love and compassion to others and to self reflect .
 
Looks like the Design Experience is up and running.

I see some cool new finishes.
I see some great new sparkles....but none that I like better than my current ones. Frozen Berry Pearl, Flamingo Pearl Burst, Sea Foam Sparkle, Lavender Sparkle ( which is lighter than Amethyst Sparkle). Gold, silver, and black sparkle are also there.

Matching Headstock not available on all finishes will be disappointing for some.

Just pick this up. Ive been hunting for one since I regretted missing the initial run. Mad the deal in person . My Sandberg will be sacrificed . Great bass , but I prefer Stingrays . Tim CummerFord StingRay Short Scale Active . This one wears rounds and my other passive model has flats. They are like night and day. This bass has that 2 band , retro 70's sound . Im not sure, but the preamp (even though its 3 band) sounds different.

I really like the looks of this. Reminds me of my Stingray Classic 5

Wow, that's a nice looking instrument. :woot: Congrats! If Musicman doesn't finally step up and offer you an endorsement deal, they're nuts. ;)

I've spoken to you about Sandbergs before. If I hadn't just bought my Big Al, there's a good chance I would asked about yours. They're still on my radar.

Not gonna lie... maybe were just spoiled by how nice the normal anual finishes are but i find the design experience finishes very whelming. Especially for whats essentially a custom instrument :(. My wallet is thankful at least for now util they add more finishes... was considering one because i wish i got my SRS with a SLO neck (despite growing to love the normal neck profile).

I’m glad that nothing gave me gas. I’m content with my lineup. I’m grateful EBMM agreed to build my custom for me right before this launch . I’m sure colors will change and options too.
How blessed we are to have this custom options available .
