The basses I’ve had most have been limelight P basses and Stingrays. Having gone from sandberg, headless Ibanez’s, custom boutique basses… Limelight Precision 4 - Stingrays 4, so far. I may need that short scale Ray to settle the score 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EBMM is actually a lot better but also about twice the price (on the second hand market) than an SB14. I do think the EBMM is a better investment, if I'd want to sell it again. The SB14 is bloomin' great, though. I think this is a good summary of our own moral financial justifications and budgets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as well they're easy to make - if they were a creature they'd have gone the way of the dodo long ago! Gratuitous pie porn In Scotland we've got you vegetarians covered.

In all varieties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously telling me that if I had two hot pies on me and I said "if you two stop fighting now, you can each have a pie" that they wouldn't at least consider stopping? @jd56hawk - if you stop putting the same effing picture of your basses up in almost every thread you participate in, I'll give you a pie?

The Vintera 50’s P and Nate Mendel P for example. So do 2 brand new CV’s make a better purchase than a used Vintera or Nate or Flea? We would all have our opinions but mine would be no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'll say better than any Player series basses. As for the MIMs that cost $1,000 plus, I sure hope Fender makes good basses in that price bracket...and I've recommended the Vintera P basses several times before...but they're simply not for me.

Mike99 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 On 06/03/2022 at 11:53, BassAgent said: Well, I have both at home right now. Not Stingrays, but Sterlings. I borrowed a Sterling SB14 from a friend, and shortly after bought a '93 EBMM Sterling. The SB14 is really really good. Like, for that price, insanely good. It's light, the neck is great, it sounds like a proper Music Man, the hardware is good and I really like the colour. The EBMM is however a different ball park: the neck is a bit chunkier than the SB14 (but only a little bit), has some crazy birdseye figuring on it, the hardware is a lot better than the SB14 and the sound has more depth and "feel" to it. Is it worth the price difference? Well, yes and no. The EBMM is actually a lot better but also about twice the price (on the second hand market) than an SB14. I do think the EBMM is a better investment, if I'd want to sell it again. The SB14 is bloomin' great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
