Had mine 5 weeks now and also well pleased. I played my 2015 Stingray for quite a while this afternoon, they may be 'obsolete' now, but in no way does that take off the gleam or spoil their legacy, they'll always be such fine basses IMO (and Mr Sadowski too )

Absolutely mate, thanks. In addition, I’ve been watching a Talkbass thread on these basses whereby Scott Ball has been posting and replying to members. Music Man was my first love, then Fender, these days I have both, but I feel more respect for Music Man as a company, I think it goes deeper than good PR, they seem to really get it, by making great instruments with enthusiasm.

No thanks, I didn’t like the taste and it repeated on me

Back when I was a teen I saw the Flea DVD, he said that on some days he has a ‘head like a stale marshmallow’. Since then, I don’t feel bad when it happens.

Aw, now you’ve give and left us all on a cliffhanger! So what’s up? Is it... Option A - I’ve received £75 worth of gear for registering 2 basses and it’s because I’ve posted about it (as I thought others might want to know and do the same) Option B - Because I’ve registered my basses for extended warrantee Option C - because Music Man set up the scheme Have a good day Rodney.

No need to despair Rodney,... if a company actually wants to be nice to their customers then surely it should bring hope? I think it’s nice to see positives in the little things. YMMV

100%, they just aren't that special these days and always lean towards a modern bass. I've previously owned a fair few CS Basses, and what I'll say is when they are great, they are seriosuly-f'ing-great. That said, my last 'modern' Fender was a lovely 2015 USA Std, in no way an inferior bass - and priced much more sensibly.

Big thanks to Strings and Things (UK EBMM distributor) once again... A couple of months back I posted that they sent me a free EB tool kit when I registered my Old Smoothie online for extended warrantee (via the official EBMM website). . Today I received the free gift below for registering my Stingray Special

I did that in 2010 with 2 Sterlings I was deciding between - ended up with massive tone differences from how they originally were. The ash body and rosewood neck was an absolute Powerhouse, though that may just have been a 'special tree' combination thing rather than 'tone woods' thing...

+1 on positon 4. I've been enjoying the other positions too and find they come to life better in the mix rather then solo'd. And how nice are those necks?! 😛

if its late 70's / early 80's have you checked for a serial number sticker under the pickguard, or for the date of the pots, if original? Edit, just re-read the middle line!! I'd be scouring Google images / Gbase / Andy Baxter website if i were you.

Great to see you got the one you wanted, and that it's a good'n

Hopefully you'll have better luck against the Falcons, and with the Browns playing the Ravens you may just leapfrog them! My teams season is pretty much over already, what with Jimmy G's injury, then again were the 49'ers ever going to tear it up anyway... very much doubt it! Get well soon mate.

Well you've got to do something to cheer yourself up when the Steelers are sitting below THE BROWNS in their division!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I'll look forward to seeing pics, nice one 👍

It's my fault - I passed out from GAS withdrawal symptoms and my head came to rest on the 'page refresh' button all night.

"It's like selling gear, on an abstaining thread"

As an abstainer that’s a tease cos in my cupboard I’ve got hundreds and thousands

I like it

We could also chuck our car keys into a bowl and take home each other’s bass for a night or two.
