Some more info about the two basses: "For five decades, the StingRay has set the benchmark for bold, forward-leaning bass tone. The Ernie Ball Music Man 50th Anniversary StingRay Special honors that legacy with two limited-edition finishes. Liquid Gold is hand-numbered and limited to 50 instruments worldwide, featuring a striking golden reflective pickguard for a truly exclusive presentation. Molten Gold, limited to 300 instruments, showcases a metallic gold finish on the body and headstock—each with its own unique character. Both versions are paired with an ebony fretboard with gold face dot inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers for effortless navigation on any stage. A roasted flame maple neck and poplar body deliver a fast, comfortable, and perfectly balanced feel, while gold hardware throughout, including a 50th Anniversary-stamped bridge, completes the look. Finished with a commemorative 50th Anniversary silkscreen on the back of the headstock, each bass ships in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity. https://blog.music-man.com/instruments/ernie-ball-music-man-new-at-namm-2026/

I guess I'll have to stick to my all maple Spectors - smaller body, less wood, less weight.

Looks like the natural one will only be available on the Epiphone website (DTC): "Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G-3, Natural, Exclusive" https://www.gibson.com/en-gb/products/epiphone-mike-dirnt-grabber-g-3-natural-exclusive The silverburst one is already available in several stores but looks to be a bit on the heavy side. All around 4.4kg 😞

How unromantic. I guess you'll love this song then

I have never tried this pedal myself, but it has "Filth" and "Dirt" knobs. So, maybe worth checking out.

That is the joke - selling it for more than RRP (which no one ever pays anyway) after the mega special discount sale 🙂

Sold a pedal to Shep. Super smooth transaction. Great stuff 👍
