EBMM StingRay Special Club

[LadyLoveStingRay5]

Woof they keep jacking up that price eh. They should plek them for that much. I wonder why they went glossy finish on these, I LOVE the matte soft touch finish of my passive blue one. Has to be the best type of solid color finish on a bass I've ever played. Looks like they ironed out putting the right pickups in the basses though so that's good. I put a knob with an indicator line on the coil selector because I can never remember what position its in.

I don’t recall the prices on the original run. What was it ?

Are those mono gig bags available for sale anywhere? I really dig them.

If they are, it be direct from EBMM only . Give them a try .

woa thats about $300! Man, I'll let mine go for that much. I got one in the states, DM for purchase!

I don't like the Mono case. It's not as well padded inside as the gig bags they make. Just a mold and that's it.

I like the new Tim C passive in white. If I didn't just get a white AVII Precision, I might have been tempted.

Grrrrr! Just got another UPS update. Now my Ray is re-scheduled to be delivered July 31st. The tracking says it’s been at my hometown delivery station for 3 days now. Good grief. I just hope that when it does finally arrive, that it hasn’t been damaged.

Any news of your delivery yet?

Yeah the new Tim C passive is nice. Ive never played a passive one before. Wonder what it sounds like with the pickup selector options. P bass on steroids?

Anthony has yet another video up today, about the fretless Pino. Fender is going to be jealous with all this attention to EBMM.

Agreed, but Fender was fortunate that he used a Precision after he became famous using his fretless Stingray. I saw him playing with Paul Young and the Royal Family when Wherever I lay my hat was in the charts. Nothing else sounded quite like that.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my Pino reissue (the Mono soft case would be great IF it had shoulder straps - as is I'm using my trusty Levys, which is great). I need to watch the vid on the Pino fretless!

Wait so the MusicMan Mono isn't the same as the Vertigo Bass? That sucks, they cost the same! And I'm sure that cost is factored into the StingRay Special's MSRP.

My 2023 Special came with Black Vintage Style G&G Hard case; It was a GC Exclusive Burnt Apple re-release finish from 2019 with added matching headstock

No. The MM Mono is a nylon outside with a hard "mold" inside that's covered in fuzzy material. It is not foam and will not absorb impact nearly as well. Additionally, since it's molded to fit both the 4 and 5 string basses, the 4 does not fit snug and will move around unless material is added to prevent this.
