My MM HS. Man, I love that bass! This is a shot during a video shoot for the Heart tribute band Little Queen; from the looks of where my hand is, I'd guess that's the chorus in Barracuda. So please sing me up for the MM club!
...do you guys have any idea how hard it is to find two women who can sing and play and get along on stage? Whew!
That IS a smokin' looking bass!
Interestingly enough my '95 Stingray has the transition bridge with just dome head screws instead of the mutes. I've been trying to chase down the mute plate and thumbscrews for some time but have had no luck.But if EB is producing basses with the early bridge I am hoping that they will be making the mute setup available to retro-fit my bass.
Honestly I'm frustrated. My home has been having work done for the last month, and I don't have an amp out and playable. I've been able to play it plugged in for about half an hour at a local used shop, and at work, for about an hour. So I have been getting very familiar with how it sounds unplugged.
My Stingray is by far the best 4-string I ever owned. Thrilled with it. Amazingly responsive tones. So much better than either my P-bass or my Rick (sold the Rick).

I am glad that you like it. After trying out 55-02, I am thinking the same thing. Well, when I get tired of 55-02 I'll trade for Stingray 5. I am really a 5 string guy that is why I trade my stingray which have one less string.
John Moyer from Disturbed?It was actually a custom build for a guy in some pretty big band I don't care to mention![]()
