woodyratm Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Hi folks, I'm looking to grab a Status in the next few months, so I've decided to sell my pride and joy - My EBMM Stingray Special 4HH. I've owned from new and it has been my most prized possession the entire time. Lovely finish, totally loved. I've just had it setup with new DR highbeams at RamJam in Aberdeen. She's got a 18v 3 band EQ and the usual 5 way pickup selector. And the neck 🥰 The ebony and roasted maple is amazing. It feels amazing. It's comfortably the best neck I've played - so taking a bit of a gamble of the Status! If it doesn't work out... I'll defo be back to the EBMM Special! Comes with EBMM hard case and Schaller strap locks. If anyone wants more photos, just let me know. This is the serial checker from EB. Serial #F82390 Manufactured January 3rd, 2019 Build Code 108-CP-50-01-CS-BM Model StingRay Special HH Color Charcoal Sparkle Neck Roasted Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard Pickguard Black Pickguard 2018 Hardware Matte Black Hardware According to the EBMM website, the colour is discontinued and a few places I saw online aren't getting stock for a few months. I'm based in Aberdeen, but happy to look at shipping. 😉 Edited May 4, 2021 by woodyratm 3
Reggaebass Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 That’s a beauty, I’ve never had a stingray what is the nut width on these 🙂

Fingerboard Radius: 11" (27.9 cm) Neck Width at Nut: 1-5/8" (41.3 mm) Neck Width at Last Fret: 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) To me, its wider than my custom jazz (70s jazz profile). But I felt super comfortable playing it instantly. Like a glove. 1

IMO, the photos don't do it justice. I kinda wish I could justify keeping it, and still getting the Status. But I don't think the Kidney market is too hot just now - so needs must haha. 1

Did consider headless, but I think that would baffle me too much! 10

woodyratm Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 I could be tempted by offers for this. I keep looking at it and thinking I can fund the Status in another way... but I think the black market is a bit lower right now for kidneys.
NancyJohnson Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 I've never owned a Singray. That colour combo is stunning.

I saw the colour online when I decided to grab the special and proper fell in love. It's even nicer in person IMO. If I wasn't getting married at the end of the year, i'd be tempted to just keep it. But weddings be pricey. So sadly it needs to pay the rest of the Status!

This has taken a bit of a left turn! Playing the wedding card as well as the I-have-to-pay-for-a-new-bass. If this had been me, I'd be fearing for my testicles.

We're already nearly there for the wedding, so no issues." So I'm treating that as so long as I keep to our spreadsheet, it's fair game haha.
