grayn Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 A few years back I had a herd of basses but more recently I whittled them down, until about a year ago I was left with just one. A Sandberg California II - VT4, that I gig in my blues-rock band. Very recently I got myself a MusicMan guitar, which reminded me how good Musicman gear really is and got me thinking about another bass. I've had 3 Stingrays in the past, the most recent being an HS model. A wonderful bass but I found the fingerboard just a little too wide. Anyway a friend of mine who owns a smallish guitar shop locally had had some EBMM basses over the last few years and had just one left in stock. It had been in a while because most of the local bassists, like the rest of the UK, seems to love Fender above all else. So it was already at a very good price but then my mate offers me it at cost. Now that's an offer I couldn't refuse. So now an all black, with all maple neck Stingray 4, is sitting in my music room. All I had to do was lower the action by a tiny amount and this beauty is ready to go. What I love about this bass, is the absolute simplicity of it's one pickup and 3 knob EQ system. Getting that solid Stingray tone to how you like it is a real doddle, then it's just down to your fingers and imagination. Top quality build and finishing just give you a bass that will fit with any occasion. Looking forward to the next next rehearsal/gig. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
