New EBMM models!!!

[bovinehost]

I had not a single problem with single PU Stingrays or Stingray 5s and I'll be keeping my current SR5, thank you very much....but I'm not opposed to getting something else, either.

Man, I'm double glad about these news. . .

First, I used to play StingRays, but always missed the extra fundamental-rich low end of a neck pickup. These 2-pickup StingRays are a dream come true.

Always been a great fan of Ernie Ball/Music Man quality and playability.

And second, I can't believe they will have all these available LEFT-HANDED!

Somebody big inside the company must have a lefty wife or something . . .

GET OUT!

*does the Elaine push*

Man those duel pickup rays are going to be awsome, gotta get my hands on one. but what I'm still waiting for are those six string bongos ! now those would rock, especially fretless mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Transverz]

I'm interested in the way the neck pickup Sterling would sound. The Sterling has always been great, but a bit TOO growly for me. I've always tried to compensate by 1) playing way above the uni-bridge pickup, 2) EQing the bass and amp for more OOMPH, and 3) I JUST BOUGHT A BONGO

But now, hmm... innnnnnnnnnterestingk...dahhhlink...

Hmmm, time to start thinking about stuff.

How bout Honeyburst, Rosewood, dual humbuckers...

or

Chrome blue, Maple, duals maybe?

or

Black Cherryburst, Maple, duals?

Oh so many choices...

Man, now I've GOT to go downtown and get into summer NAMM.....

 

[Justin V]

Well, I think I know what my next bass'll be. I think a SR5 HH is definately in my future. Now to get a job....

 

[Simball]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... but I admit I could maybe see a stingray 4 with a single coil neck pickup in my future.

 

[hands5]

For anyone who is sorry that they aren't going to reissue the sabre should be happy that you will now have something that is for all intents and purposes better then the sabre. The sabre had several problems(love 'em or hate 'em) and these new basses should fix most or all of them.

Andrew

What problems were they ?

 

[hands5]

To make it clear, a MM pickup and all dual coil humbuckers are basically nothing but two Jazz pickups under the same cover; one coil is reverse wound for hum cancelling.
The Stingray is hardwired into a Parallel coil configuration for power. The Sterling is coil tapped for switching capabilites (Parallel/single/Series).
The real difference between manufactures lies in the magnets, bobbins, wire gage and the number of windings, etc. but again, you really are looking at two Jazz pickups in the same cover.

My main point in mentioning Lakland was not the sound, but the fact that they were first to use the J/MM pickup config in a production bass.

Thanks,

KT

Then if this is the case,why do the Stingray,and Sterling sound so much alike IMO ?

Because it has a parallel option in its switching.

Exactly Marty,

I didn't want to be the one to have to spell it out to the man.
