If i ever do try and buy an expensive custom bass, it will probably be a Dingwall. They look really cool to me but I have never seen one in person.

Oli@bass, that is one sweet pair of Rays you have there! I am still jonesing for a fretless!

My EBMM is on its way home today with a new neck! The service side of Music Man has been incredible, a true pleasure to deal with. I went into this thinking it would be a struggle and I think that made me even more nervous when it wasn't.

They've definitely got a loyal, happy customer here.
 
hey hey, im #108.
post #474

!@#$%, you're right. Sorry about that dude, that was when I was in Chicago for my Gramps' funeral. :( My bad. Rather than try and sort out a number shift with everyone (which could get messy), I'd be happy to give you my number and I'll take #124? Let me know.

You did! I remember that pic because you look a LOT like the guy that got me started playing bass! Unfortunately, your post was before I took over the list (at http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468403&page=32), and unless people specifically asked for a number, I wasn't sure if they wanted in or not because the club was in disarray for a while. :/

Anyway, yougotsklubnumbah #125!

I'd like to join.

No problem!

#126 for Tomato Soup and Apple Candy! :D

Ive finally got my act together. Ive sold my 2 x late 90s/early 00s 3EQ 4 string Stingrays to make way for....wait for it:

2010 EB MM Stingray Classic Series - Classic White/Birdseye Maple neck and board/Tort Guard/2EQ with all the other cool Classic features.

AND (yes, Im a lucky chap)

2010 EB MM Stingray 5 - Humbucker plus Single Coil/White/Rosewood board/Tort
Guard/3EQ.

I cannot wait. The Classic will be a month or so....the Stingray 5 more like 4 months +.

I miss the old ones, but I needed these two basses!
 
#123 to you sir, for the matching Black Beauties!

Thanks! Love the number...
And yes, they are beauties... but not the only ones ;)

I'd like to join.
Here are my references:

Bass number one: MM Stingray 1978, Tomato Soup Red
bass number two: MM Stingray 2006, Apple Candy Red

Hey, proghead, great to see you here as well... one day we must have Swiss StingRay Gathering :D

That is awesome news! But I am not surprised. EBMM started off taking care of the customers that they inherited and have been great to deal with since.
 
I'll add a few more factory pics of the BP Live SR Classics. I recently bought this from Tommixx and love it. With this shade of red and the matching headstock, it's probably a one-of-a-kind, too. The birdseye maple neck is amazing.

Dang it, Royce! That's two amazing red basses you have. Now my envy is doubled.
 
wow, I thought that was a coral red/fiesta red classic. I have never seen a pre EBMM in that color. Very nice!

Hi Calaverasgrande.
I bought that 78er Stingray in the 80s for about 300 bucks... the owner stripped down the original black finish to make it a natural... it was in horrible shape.
In the 90s a luthier in Zurich refinished it and refretted it...
So the colour is not original.

Here are some details:
