40hz Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've tried to do a little research myself but can't find a definitive list anywhere. I'm gonna pull the trigger on one (again) in a couple of months and was wondering what colours I can order one in. I know recently they cut a lot of options in terms of finish, can anyone help out? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Yeah they've changed s little. Shown on their website (note different, and less colours for the Classic version - has its own model section) http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/stingray Edited March 3, 2016 by drTStingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I saw this originally but didn't believe the 6 colours are the only ones! That's quite some cull on EB's part. Many thanks DrT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Tangerine pearl and sky blue metallic can still be had on the Bongo plus some of the other models have additional specific colours - Stingray Classic appears to only have three..... It's to be hoped they continue to do limited edition (PDN) specials every so often. You can understand their position if more than 90% of all purchases are across a handful of colours. As Sterling had pointed out, they are doing more than comoetitors in the market (until you start getting into special order stuff like Custom Shop for instance) - but yes, a significant cull as you say.

Musicman20 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think one complaint EBMM had was that dealers had too much choice as to what to order. Inevitably the customer wants a different spec to the bass they have in stock at the store, so the dealers stopped stocking as many (as far as I know). At on point there was a mind boggling amount of choice. They are also hitting the guitar side of the market HARD right now...with some amazing designs which I wish I could buy!
