  1. Thanks. I've taken a couple of other pics to try to show the difference in the 'roundness' of the contouring between the two.
  2. Sold a bass to Mart (surprisingly our first transaction given that we are pretty local to each other). First class communication throughout and on collection we had a great hour or so talking about all things bass. A real pleasure. Until the next time, all the best and many thanks
  3. Exactly this for me. I used to avoid narrower nut widths but I’m loving my EBMM Sterlings after years of playing mainly Stingray/Precision width necks. However, a narrow spacing at the bridge and I’m knackered.
  4. In my defence, time really does fly. I swore blind that it was the beginning of 2017 I bought that one. Alas, checking my messages confirmed otherwise 😂
  5. Shockingly, I’ve just worked out that I can beat that. 8 basses with the longest resident in chez DeeDee being my Aria SB R80 purchased at the beginning of this year 😮 I’ll just go and stand on the naughty step 😔
  6. Alas, I’ve no means of getting an accurate weight unfortunately. Suffice to say that these Specials are significantly lighter than the previous models. It’s by far the lightest of these four (cue gratuitous ‘wall of basses’ shot):
  7. Ahem ............. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/331797-2018-ebmm-stingray-special-4h-charcoal-sparkle-with-ebony-board-new-price-£1800/
  8. Mine is certainly lighter than any Stingray I’ve had previously and it’s also far lighter than each of my Sterlings.
  9. New price folks, the first £1800 gets a spanking new bass and one hell of a bargain
  10. Very nice. GLWTS and if anyone is after a matching 6 string version to go with it, give me a shout!
  11. Possibly but I like things to be original, or at least any changes to be reversible.
  12. Why do these things never come up at the right time 😔 GLWTS
  13. Forgive my ignorance, but what are these heads rated at? (No sniggering at the back) 🤪
  14. 😂 ah yes, ebony is pretty special. Saying that, the maple HH feels lovely too. They’re all lovely aren’t they 😁
  15. I for one certainly wouldn’t call Stingrays agricultural, I love them to bits old and new. In fact my current fave is my ‘new’ 2007 HH Stingray closely followed by my pair of Sterlings. So, perhaps agricultural is a little strong, but several of us have said that the new Specials are a little more ‘refined’ so perhaps we all mean a little nearer the same thing than may at first be apparent. I personally quite like heavy basses so the lesser weight of the Special isn’t a huge deal for me and rarely do I venture up the ‘dusty end’ of a neck, so the improved access at the heel isn’t of great benefit either. But the whole package makes for a very impressive bass. I can see that the inherent features of the Special would perhaps make them sufficiently more appealing to warrant further investigation to someone who for whatever reason wasn’t a fan of the Std Stingray.
  16. Gorgeous basses, I had the 4 version. Superb build quality and great pickups and EQ. GLWTS
  17. I must admit they just feel ‘right’ to me
  18. It is surprising. I’m sure there’s a ‘79 Sabre neck for sale on evilbay. EDIT - If there was it’s now gone (unless I imagined it of course) 🙄
