Bridgehouse Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 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!

Much better than black with natural finish I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayn Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 A truly beautiful bass. Fantastic choice. If that doesn't get you back into bass playing, nothing will. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...!

spongebob Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Gorgeous. One bass I never got around to owing is a Stingray. Can't think why, they look (and sound) amazing. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Welcome back - is that the one they had in Jaywalk Guitars in Street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 No - bought it online. Project Music I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm sure you'll be well pleased - I played the one at Jaywalk and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
