Wow, it's a beautiful instrument. EB Music Man sure know their stuff!!

MM StingRay5, in basically this colour combination. Looks better in real life, kind of a Curly Strat blue, and the neck is just amazing...

He bought it when he was in LA and saved over US$2,000 by buying it there instead of New Zealand:

The necks on the Stingrays and Sabres never suited me. I've *heard* the MM Bongo is supposed to be a really comfortable and exeptionally great sounding bass- if not excessively uggly.

Much like Ricks, I love the sound other people get out of MMs, but I don't like the sound they make when I play them.:laugh2:

Hell yeah, a StingRay 5 is also high on my list of wannahaves. No, needtohaves, actually! :fing2:

I love those basses! Let us know later if the overall sound of your band improves, just based on that fat foundation. I can't believe how jacked up the prices are where you live. Can't you vote in a Conservative, or something? hahahahahaha I knew you'd love that one! LOL

i have an EB/MM guitar that i adore- their stingrays are wonderful instruments- if i was a bass player, that would be what i'd get.

Never played one, but I've heard a few. They sound so nice.
 
Re: Band's bass player just got one of these...

They're nice. I never "got" them though. In most players hands they just seemed to annoy me and rarely did I hear the tone get put to good use.

Awesome basses...very versitile. This is a five-string Stingray through an old 70's Ampeg tube bass head.

SWEET! I have one of those. Here, I'll post a picture of mine with my Jazz Bass

btw, the knobs and switch work like this.
(knob numbers from neck going towards bridge)
Knob 1 = Volume
Knob 2 = Treble
Knob 3 = Mid
Knob 4 = Bass

The switch is fun too
Neck position = both coils in series
Middle position = coil tapped with a dummy coil underneath the pickup for hum cancelling
bridge position = both coils in parallel

It's such an amazing bass and I'm so glad to have one. I paid $1000USD for mine and it was 1 month old when I got it
