Finally Pulled The Trigger EBMM

[bogie1519]

Jumped into the deep end of the pool last week. And ordered a MusicMan 4HH with the roasted maple neck. I wasn’t expecting what I got. This is without any doubt the best Bass guitar I’ve ever owned For the price. The build Quality is first class. As is the hardware. The neck feels fantastic and looks great. Ordered from Sweetwater good customer service. Had them put on a fresh set of strings and do a setup. Just like I wanted. Picture posted.

Congrats! The roasted maple neck and stainless frets are features that I wish were on all of my guitars.

Music Man probably has the best quality control of any mass producer of basses. G&L is very close, but I think EBMM consistently makes fives with better performing B strings. Now that Music Man has seriously attacked the weight issue, I think there really is no daylight between EBMM and boutique makers.

Very nice! Welcome to the Stingray club....

Congrats! She's a beauty, for sure. I've had 3 nice 'Rays over the years. My last one was an HH in Buttercream. Personally, I liked the HH better than the previous two single-H's that I had. Just personal preference for sure, since a LOT (probably most) 'Ray owners prefer the single-H.

Very nice, congrats! Just out of curiosity, why did you go with that model and not a Special? Was it the pre-amp or something else?

 

[sonic1519]

To be honest with you I don’t know much about the Special. But I love how the pre amp sounds on this Bass.

 

[muggsy]

Nice! Love the sparkle. And I agree that EBMM build quality is consistently excellent. That's one reason I have four of them.

Welcome to the club. I have the black Special 5 HH with the roasted maple neck. I'm really digging it. I have never had so many guitar players want to touch my bass. It sounds GREAT in the mix.

 

[stonetone7]

We all sparkle down here!

Man, that thing is killer, congrats!

I have roasted necks and stainless frets on ally my basses, except for the one which.....doesn't have frets. The one drawback to stainless frets is, if you don't get your finger in the right place, they let you know a little more than on nickel frets - there's more "clank" to a poorly fretted note. It forces you to be a bit more accurate in your fingering, which, if you also play fretless, is not really a bad thing.

Crazy cool! Welcome to the club!

 

[SirMjac28]

that's beautiful and they have the best-roasted necks you can buy

 

[bikeplate]

Cool. I have a 5er on the way

SWEET! Nice bass! Love my new 4HH Special.
Can I ask what SW charged you for the setup? Or do they throw that in with the purchase?
