TheGreek Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I was in CODA Music in Stevenage earlier - they've got [i]the[/i] most beautiful MM Ray with golden hardwear and white Tort scratchplate. Thankfully £2k isn't impulse buy money!!

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Urk! Sounds like another naff bathroom suite! What colour's the body? Please say it isn't white, too... I hate gold hardware. Primarily because my sweaty mitts make it go green.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBMM have done some other 2 band specials for Guitar Centre with this feature so there is hope it may become a regular option. These basses have a painted white neck. The whole finish has a subtle gold sparkle - hence called a gilded classic Stingray. There has been a used one for sale on the MM bass forum - tragically, the guy needs to raise funds for medical reasons (that's the USA for you unfortunately). Not sure I'm with the bathroom analogy Llaflex v1.1 - bathroom equipment is usually enamelled and comes without strings and most definitely doesn't sound as nice as a 2 band Ray played properly - just listen to Bernard Edwards if you don't believe me!

Prime_BASS Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It's some new limited run, basically a classic series with a 3 band and horrible hardware. Or you could get a early 90's Ray for around 1/4 of that price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disturbed to find myself quite liking it. [/quote] Heh! This and the Liberace thing, all it needs is a small candle holder on the end! Not me. I love Stingrays, there's something crudely utilitarian about them, strongly built, solid etc rather than ostentatious. For me, gold bits on them doesn't do it (even if it was JPS) and I feel disturbed at the thought processes at EB that would come up with this.

On the specialist forums (eg EBMM) all the basses and guitars hold value, especially the limited runs like dargie. Had a few 90s Rays. They were fantastic, but so are my current 2011 models.
