Hi folks, 

I'm looking to grab a Status in the next few months, so I've decided to sell my pride and joy - My EBMM Stingray Special 4HH. I've owned from new and it has been my most prized possession the entire time. 
Lovely finish, totally loved. I've just had it setup with new DR highbeams at RamJam in Aberdeen. 


She's got a 18v 3 band EQ and the usual 5 way pickup selector. 
And the neck 🥰 The ebony and roasted maple is amazing. It feels amazing. It's comfortably the best neck I've played - so taking a bit of a gamble of the Status! If it doesn't work out... I'll defo be back to the EBMM Special! 

Comes with EBMM hard case and Schaller strap locks. If anyone wants more photos, just let me know. 
This is the serial checker from EB. 

Serial #F82390
Manufactured January 3rd, 2019
Build Code 108-CP-50-01-CS-BM
Model StingRay Special HH
Color Charcoal Sparkle
Neck Roasted Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard
Pickguard Black Pickguard 2018
Hardware Matte Black Hardware

According to the EBMM website, the colour is discontinued and a few places I saw online aren't getting stock for a few months. 

I'm based in Aberdeen, but happy to look at shipping. 😉

That’s a beauty, I’ve never had a stingray what is the nut width on these  🙂

Good question! I found this. 

  • Fingerboard Radius: 11" (27.9 cm)
  • Neck Width at Nut: 1-5/8" (41.3 mm)
  • Neck Width at Last Fret: 2-1/2" (63.5 mm)

To me, its wider than my custom jazz (70s jazz profile). But I felt super comfortable playing it instantly. Like a glove.

I keep coming back for another look 🙂

She's easily one of the nicest looking basses I've owned. IMO, the photos don't do it justice. I kinda wish I could justify keeping it, and still getting the Status. But I don't think the Kidney market is too hot just now - so needs must haha.

I went for the Chris Wolstenholme in Woven Chrome with red LEDs - should look like this actually. Did consider headless, but I think that would baffle me too much!

I've never owned a Singray.  That colour combo is stunning.

I saw the colour online when I decided to grab the special and proper fell in love. It's even nicer in person IMO. 

If I wasn't getting married at the end of the year, i'd be tempted to just keep it. But weddings be pricey. So sadly it needs to pay the rest of the Status!

Crikey.  This has taken a bit of a left turn!  Playing the wedding card as well as the I-have-to-pay-for-a-new-bass.  If this had been me, I'd be fearing for my testicles.

Hah surprisingly I got "you'll play the bass, it keeps you sane. We're already nearly there for the wedding, so no issues." 

So I'm treating that as so long as I keep to our spreadsheet, it's fair game haha.
