Fantasizing about this custom design fretless... Maybe next year I'll be ready to pull trigger. Hoping if I wait long enough a lined fretless 5H will show up in the classifieds.
Anyone get a Blue Dream finish yet? Feel like the configurator does not show the colors very well.

Does anyone know of a simple fix for a push pull active passive volume switch to make a new StingRay have the feature like their new signature model?
More so meaning does Ernie ball offer a part made by them?
Not sure if that bass has a passive tone control though.
Thanks.

NBD for me. Well used but practically new with plastic still on the pickguard. This 2023 Stingray Special arrived today. I mentioned this in another post but I found this for sale on reverb and asked the seller to sell it privately to save me the taxes and him the fees. He ended up giving me a good deal.
When I first picked it up I was shocked how light it is. 7.9 lbs
Balance very well too
Spent tonight changing the strings and doing a setup. So far so good.
I need to spend allot more time with it but my initial impressions are great so far.
Here are some pics

Back in black!!! Nice and light . A good companion for you over 10lbs Retro 70’s model.
it is. I just love the case it came with. I think I will use it for the Retro instead and use the Mono for the Special. It suits the Retro better.

Looks great, and it's still amazing to me when these basses show up around (or even under) the 8lb mark. Congrats on the new bass!
Just picked up my first ever EBMM Stingray Special.... Now I need to find a Classic or Retro to keep it company......

Very nice. What strings do you have on them?Just picked up my first ever EBMM Stingray Special.... Now I need to find a Classic or Retro to keep it company......

I agree. Get a Classic or Retro and you will have two amazing basses.
Another update on my new Custom Stingray 5 H that was having electronics issues: After sending them a video of the issue, Musicman was awesome and paid for return shipping to them so they could take a look. Obviously not great to be without it for a while, but will be nice to have it back in full working order.
While I wait for its return, I've been in full fanboy mode and have been listening to as many classic Stingray tracks as I can. While doing this, I came across Teena Marie's Square Biz, which I had somehow never heard. Wow, what a great line! Had never heard of Allen McGrier before either, but now I'm going down the rabbit hole. Kinda makes me want a Retro

Damn I love burnt ends.

Nice flame on this neck!
One of the main reasons that I play a StingRay is because of Allen and his bass lines. FYI, he has a great interview on YouTube with the Detroit Bass Players. He actually gives background info and demos his best known bass lines .Another update on my new Custom Stingray 5 H that was having electronics issues: After sending them a video of the issue, Musicman was awesome and paid for return shipping to them so they could take a look.

I will be at a shop that has all these tomorrow and I'm getting paralysis from analysis over which color I want. I suspect I will be able to play them all, but I've never played a Special that was not special. Any feedback/favorites?
Quality problems!
