martthebass Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 As I recall there was a 'family of Italian Engineers' taking on BP about the structural integrity of roasted necks? T'was a joy to behold that particular exercise in customer relations Quote
Musicman20 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 My 'very buzzy' new 2EQ has been exchanged, very thankfully, for a new 3EQ in Vintage Sunburst/Maple/Black. I would normally agree about the 'bland' maple nowadays, but WOW, this maple neck/board is beautiful for a new standard Ray! It has birdseye figuring around certain areas, and a nice subtle bit of flame figuring on the headstock. The board itself is perfect.... The bass is also very very well made, im back to being very confident about EBMMs Pics when I get chance! Quote

[b]"bright"[/b] side? as in maple fretboard side?[/quote] I used to have a fair few maples at one point, (more so than rosewood) but now I only have one! (This one). I think the non-gloss version of a maple board (unlike the new Fenders, etc) is more my thing. I have always liked EBMM necks, but I realise the maple wasnt as exciting as it used to be. This current 3EQ ive just got this morning has a really pretty neck and board. Lucky to get it! Quote
gregsguitars Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 [attachment=79631:musicman...type_002.JPG] This one off pre Sabre was on loan from a dear friend for documentation and evaluation . Quote

I started a pre EB porn thread a while ago if you want to put it in there too? We can say it's tuned low B to high C if anyone says anything Quote
MattM Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Finally snagged a dream maple '88 'Ray for stoopidly nice price. Mutes, crazy nice figuring on neck, 2EQ, 4 bolt neck plate...mmmmmm Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Knowing what you paid for that in another thread I think it's the best bargain I have seen anyone on bass chat yet, I'm not the only one on here that would value it at £850-£950 right now great bass and great purchase!

Me And My Bass Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Just picked up a handsome white S.U.B from fleabay. Seems like a early run, serial is X00154. First thing was to get the not so nice cardboard/metal pickguard, Off it goes to 7String for a setup etc. Dont see many white versions these days. [attachment=83148:White_SUB.jpg] Quote
gareth Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Ernie Ball MM Stingray - fantastically light at dead on 8lbs - I kid you not Quote
Me And My Bass Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 [attachment=83688:Stingray.jpg] My new 1990 Stingray bought from Andrew on here. Lovely bass Quote
funkgod Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Thought i would add mine. the 91 pino look alike, has the most amazing birds eye neck and super low action, the natural one has a two piece book matched body, and quite heavy. anyone got a white pickup cover for sale ? Edited July 8, 2011 by funkgod Quote
Mylkinut Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Suppose I should show it off here before it gets sold. If it ever does sell that is... anyone want another one? Quote

NJE Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Had this a while now and despite being up for sale I am not 100% sure I want to let it go. Just an amazing instrument, the build quality is incredible and it sounds massive. Here you go.... [attachment=86000:Stingray_Front_3.jpg] Quote
bassmanady Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) MM Stingray 20th anniversary 5 string....big sound,big sustain,but also a bit weighty,which is probally because of the mahogany tone block,which i think does make a big difference. Edited August 19, 2011 by bassmanady Quote

[attachment=86000:Stingray_Front_3.jpg][/quote] Love the looks on this one, great colour and that rw-board is so sweet. If you're in two minds about selling, then keep it! It's really a classy SR5.
