Ernie Ball Stingray Short Scale *pending* £1800 Rye

[Sweenyrod]

So here is my one off EBMM SS4. I'm the second owner. The bass was payment for content creation and was specified without a pickguard (or holes). I occasionally put a custom aged pearl pg on (lightweight double sided tape) so it can be one of the Stingray family 😂. Pickguard included.

30" short scale. Roasted maple neck and fretboard. Swamp ash body. 2021.

It's in near mint condition, never gigged. . The finish is burnt amber burst or similar. Currently sporting Thomastik Infeld Jazz flats, it's the most active sounding passive bass I've ever heard. Cunning wizardry within.

Comes with mint original SS hard case and some Ernie Ball stickers. Not desperate to sell, so no silly offers please.

Collection preferred, personal delivery at cost or can be shipped as last resort....

Always wished MM Basses came without the pickguard, plus to be really ‘picky’ - with ‘through body’ Potentiometers & input jack in place of the banana style control plate🙈🙈

 

Lovely Bass though & half way to ‘perfection’ - in my humble opinion of course😃😃

 

Having said that, I had the Sterling short scale version & the passive electronics were superb on that too.

 

GLWTS👍👍

What a wonderful looking bass. If I wasn’t as far away as a person could be (without being in the arctic) I would be having a closer look. My SS Stingray is my number one. Amazing basses. 
 

Good luck with the sale, someone will love it.

Did all these short scale US stingrays come with roasted necks?

All except the first run (Raspberry Pearl and Ultra Marine Blue).

 

Sorely tempted by this, I’m always on the lookout for a second one and I live perilously close…

Ah thank you, I like this too but would prefer the 1st run then (not keen on roasted necks)

Is it my eyes or is the body smaller in scale?

[Sweenyrod]

It's a short scale, not a sawn off! 😂 The body is probably 15% smaller than a standard stingray
