MusicMan Monday!!

Been waiting on this one since my wife ordered it for me as a wedding/birthday gift in July. Just got delivered minutes ago.

i regret that i have no axes/pics to share (never owned a musicman, but i've played some nice ones here and there).

lots of beautiful instruments to see here = all good! :thumbsup:


it's beautiful, of course, but i'm curious about your favorite ax: aside from the 'looks', what makes it perfect? TIA
It fits my hand like a glove . Pickup placement is perfect. My right hand naturally goes to that spot. Light weight . Comfortable to play both standing and sitting. Sounds just right. The looks are the icing on the cake and the cherry on top.

1,000,000 congrats, on the ax and the nuptials.

It’s actually the DarkRay that opened my eyes back up to the StingRay, in general. I had a Sterling S.U.B. years ago, but never took the EBMM dive until recently.

I just love the on-board fuzz circuit idea. Let us know how it plays after you get settled in!

Is that the new(ish) forest pearl finish? Looks beautiful!
It is Frost Green Pearl. I did replace the black pickguard in an effort to brighten it up a little. I'm not a fan of the color but 1) it is growing on me; and 2) when your find a Stingray 5 that is under 8 pounds, you don't hassle over the other details.

I expected it to be #2 behind my Sadowsky or maybe #3 behind my Sadowsky and my D-Roc, but while the honeymoon is on, it sits at #1.
