Hi, first time I post here >>> hello everybody ! I am currently looking for a stingray, I think I may have found it, but... it has this small thing on the rear plate... It seems to be nothing, but I would like to be sure, this is much money... Do you think I should worry ? Thank you for your advices ! pictures :
Looks like the chrome is bubbled up but I wouldn't let that bother me. How do you like the bass itself?
Thanks for your answers. However I am still (a little bit) anxious... Have you ever seen such a thing ? Could it "hide" something more serious ?
I don't think it's a problem. It's certainly not going to effects the way the bass plays, and nobody looks at the back of the neck joint so looks aren't really an issue.
I seems to me nothing more than cosmetic. I see no way it can affect the integrity, sound or playability of the bass. I wouldn't worry about it.
Yep,that's chrome that didn't adhere to the plate.I see a lot of that.No worries,buy the bass and enjoy it.
See my response on the EBMM forum. Oh, and buying it is a smart move. Mind me asking how much you're paying for it? (PM me, don't post it)
If it really bothers you, just order a new one from EBMM customer service. They probably aren't too expensive at all...
They might ask you to send the original back - I am under the impression they don't sell spares without receiving the faulty item. I suspect this is to prevent people making knock offs. I could of course be totally wrong.
Anyway, I just wanted to be sure this couldn't be a real mechanical issue... It is just "estetic" , and I dont' care about the "look" of the rear of my bass !!
Yeah, there no issues to worry about. It's simply chrome that didn't adhere to the metal, nothing more...it happens. While it is unfortunate that the chrome is bubbling, there might not be anything EBMM can do about a replacement, since the serial number is stamped on that plate, and I don't think they stamp those plates in-house.
its good argument to get lower price nothing to bother this part is absolute changeable and has not to do with sound or quality of bass only problem if you will to change it is as was said serial number
