NBD - Always wanted one of these!

What's Hot
BridgehouseBridgehouse Frets: 24578
Delivered today. Always wanted one, and in this colour (or lack of it!)

EBMM Stingray 4 3EQ Natural with Maple Neck.

I'm staggered by the build quality. Better than any Gibson or Fender I've ever tried - guitar or otherwise. The neck is a lovely satin oiled finish and it's comfy with an 11" radius. 

Not plugged in yet - but will do over the hols and update!

  • Nice choice! I really like the 3EQ preamp, nice tight low end. These are great basses

    I bought a house in Southend that had that wallpaper in blue. It also had matching curtains and lampshade in the same design. Bizarre.  Excellent bass, congratulations.

    I've just put some D'Addario Chromes on. Apart from needing to crank the Truss Rod a good few degrees to flatten the board out due to the increase in tension, they are an absolute hoot! I've never played with flat wounds before but I flippin' love them!

    Yeah - sad really as that's the only place in the house where I can play it and match.

    Anywhere else and it's a horrid clash ;)

    Lovely! - Seriously contemplating buying one myself, always wanted one due to being a huge RHCP fan back in the day. I've got a Jazz bass already, so it does feel a little overkill, but GAS is a powerful thing :D

    I've come to the conclusion that you have to have more than one bass ;)

  • Great choice. I'm sure it will sound as good as it looks.

    I would just like to say, I hold you personally responsible for the purchase I made last night that I will collect next week.
