Ernie Ball Online Configurator


Recommended Posts

Blasphemy on this forum, I know, but I can't wait until they add guitars to the configurator!

I won't be ordering as the pricing is out of my league, but I've always had a thing for their guitars.

I've had a bit of a go in the last few days and my spec comes out roughly the same as a standard Stingray Special once it's shipped to the UK with duty and VAT ect. Not that bad. I really fancy one.

 

I'm still not that mad about most of the colours though.  They seem to given folk a wider choice of hideous to choose from.

They could add the Bongo and Sterling, too.

 

Be nice if they offered a choice of Alnico, Ceramic and Neodymium pickups.

Similarly, there's no facility to have black knobs on a silver plate and vice versa, etc.

^^ That's my build code ^^

I couldn't grab an image of it so the code above should help, but there's no reverse headstocks so it's a moot point for me (he says, like I could afford one anyway 😂), and at $3349, I'd absolutely want what I want, and what I want is a reversed headstock, and three pickups.

I'd go natural, rosewood board, chrome hardware, black plate - just like 'Nards one.

 

And the SLO neck profile.

 

$2999 which is about £2377 today + shipping + vat = about £2971.

Maple board, then!  Looks like he had two, or switched pickguards from time to time.

Something to while away 15 minutes or so on a Monday - https://www.music-man.com/custom-design-experience

 

Ignore the silly prices and make a few Stingray specs. Nothing ground breaking on the tool but fun nonetheless, the coloured pole pieces are a nice touch.

They used to have this back in the early 2000s when they had a vastly bigger range of basses, finishes and options. Was gutted they removed it as you could construct a nice big jpeg from it.

 

Ooh, cool, they’ve brought back the SLO Special nut width!

It's a cool toy, never seen a 3D configurator before. Very nicely done. 

 

But I'm a Bongo guy - once they start offering those through the configurator, I'm in. My bank account will hate me though...

What I do t get is, how Musicman with most probably a bigger budget can’t do their customisation version as well as this from Halo (who I’ve never heard of before😂

That is quite cool, still pricey, however.

A similar build from Maruszczyk is a fair bit less.

No personal experience but iirc Halo was synonymous with over promising and under delivering on some other forums I've been on. Caveat emptor...
