I remember it had an incredible B string and I could get a pretty convincing J, P, Gibson EB2, double humbucker and a couple of other tones out of it, before even touching the active/passive (passive with it’s own tone control) or the 4-band EQ. Definitely a one bass to any gig proposition I've just bought it so fingers crossed, gather they are a bit of a rarity these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliwailer Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Posting this mod I did on my EBMM short scale in case anyone is interested. - swapped out the neodymium pickup for an Aguilar AG4M (which I modded to coil split). The new MM neodymium pickups are excellent, but I just can’t get on with them and had the same issue on the Ray Special I owned for a few years. I have an AG4M in my ‘95 Ray so it’s nice to keep them in sync. - added a 3 way switch to keep the series/parallel/single option. - changed the pots to 250k and added a push/pull volume, to send the pickup straight to the output jack. This is because I turned an old EBMM 2 band preamp into a pedal and wanted to bypass the pots in the bass. There’s a photo of my first attempt of the pedal, think I’ll smarten it up in the summer with a better box too. Really love this little bass, and I’m glad the tone is now more in keeping with what I like. It’s got TI’s on it, and really compliments my ‘95 Ray and Old Smoothie. Wish they made these 25 years ago! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead simple to put together, just needed an input jack, a switch wired like an active/passive one, and a battery clip converter for a 9v PSU. The plastic box and and Ernie Ball sticker are optional… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney72a Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) A couple of early Classics: In October 2009, EBMM introduced the new Classic Series at Bass Player Live. Five instruments were on display, finished in Surf Green, Shell Pink, Sonic Blue, Trans White and Fiesta Red. Here are two from that first edition: B050501 (Surf Green) and B050505 (Fiesta Red) For the regular production run, the colours were renamed Mint Green and Coral Red. [Nice weight on the Surf Green - 8.9 lbs.] Edited May 3, 2022 by rodney72a 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The red is lush. Not normally a fan of matching headstock with a maple board but that is one gorgeous looking StingRay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
