New Music Man Starry Night PDN

I like it. The pictures of the basses show a normal control plate on front and something on back to access the controls.. must be of two different basses

The dual pickup StingRays preamp/pots are actually loaded from the rear, and the chrome banana plate is just there for looks.
The single pickup Ray is still the same front loaded it always was.
 
Every time they announce one of these it's always so close to what I want. Last time it lacked a rosewood or ebony fretboard. This time it doesn't have fret markers. Not a big deal but I switch basses a lot and if I've had a few drinks and it's dark I sometimes look when sliding up the fretboard and can't see the side markers.
 
These EBMM threads are turning out to be just like carvin threads. A thread is created when the company (who make what is commonly referred to as a high quality mass produced bass) announces an awesome new product, then the thread fills up with whining about what they don't do.
