NBD - First Bass in too many years!

[Bridgehouse]

Hello! Returning to bass playing after many years. I played in a function band back in my Uni days in the early 90's and I've been on smaller fretted instruments since then. Decided it was time to get back into Bass to try something different for gigging.

I'm pretty sure the Bass I had back in the 90's was a Peavey.. but it was borrowed from a friend at the time and I can't remember which one it was...!

However, decided to get a Bass that I've always wanted so picked up an EBMM Stingray 4 3EQ in Natural w/Maple Neck. Yum. Loving it and glad to be back!

[Bridgehouse]

Well, I've put D'Addario Chromes on now. Loving it even more..!

That's a GREAT bass to help you get you back into it

[Deedee]

Thanks guys - it's starting to come back and I'm having a hoot in the process!

All this active eq stuff is quite different to what I'm used to!

[Mudpup]

Lovely bass!

[Pinball]

Cracking choice

That's the perfect Stingray. Lovely.

You know, at first I wasn't sure - but I've seen the light and the tort is great. Much better than black with natural finish I think..

A truly beautiful bass.

Fantastic choice.
If that doesn't get you back into bass playing, nothing will.

Congrats.

Thanks! I've had about 20 hours on it over the hols.. Getting addictive.. Using a Helix as an audio interface and amp with a couple of studio monitors so I can play along to plenty of tunes is helping tho...!

Gorgeous.

One bass I never got around to owing is a Stingray. Can't think why, they look (and sound) amazing.

Enjoy!

I might buy some tort for my vintage brand mm copy, now I've seen that

[Roybass]

That looks great!!!

[scrumpymike]

Welcome back - is that the one they had in Jaywalk Guitars in Street?

[Bridgehouse]

No - bought it online. Project Music I think.

[scrumpymike]

I'm sure you'll be well pleased - I played the one at Jaywalk and loved it.

[Bridgehouse]

Yep - it's really rather good.

It's certainly better than my borrowed one back in the early 90s - I should try and track one down, if only for nostalgia purposes
