Hi TB’rs, I am going down to one bass as I’m not playing much these days so a few of my best Short Scales are moving on. A smart man once told me, “I’m not a collector, I’m a player and if they aren’t getting played, they need to go”. I’m posting some information right from the EBMM site to help, but I really love this bass. It’s small but mighty and plays like butter. I’m including 2 extra pick guards along with the original black one and a HipShot SS thumb-rest. It has been professionally setup By Mike Vrock of Bordentown Guitar Rescue (amazing luthier) and restrung with GHS light precision flats. It’s in pristine condition with no marks scratches or dings of any kind to be seen upon inspection. It’s never been out of my house and probably has about 2 hours of play/practice time on it. Some of what I found to be helpful with regard to the selector switch:
Position 1 does a well-recorded classic Punchy stingray tone
Position 2 sort of like a jazz bass
Position three Sort of like a P-bass great for Motown type stuff
Bass Boost push-pull fattens up all three Particularly good in position three
Comes with a really nice EBMM HS case and all the case candy.
Maple neck lightweight ash body just under 7.5 lbs
From the EB website:
The Ernie Ball Music Man short-scale StingRay bass offers a big thumpy round sound in a convenient smaller package. A 30” scale allows for easier playability due to the shorter spacing between the frets. The Ernie Ball Music Man humbucking pickup, equipped with higher output neodymium magnets, has been specially designed for the short scale bass, providing its signature warm tone. Electronics package includes a 3-way rotary switch featuring parallel, true single-coil, and series modes. Like its big brother the Stingray Special, the short scale bass comes standard with a modern classic bridge, 22 stainless steel frets, and new lightweight Music Man tuning machines with a finer gear ratio.
