Jambo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Haven't seen anyone else talking about these yet on here- but it appears that a new line of 'rays is set to be unleashed, based on the originals (2 band eq's, string thru bodies, bridge mutes etc etc) have a look here [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/40021-big-poppas-ultimate-bass-torture.html"]MM Site[/url] & [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/40750-bass-player-live-deluxe-classic-collection-basses.html"]here[/url] whats everyone think? Will be interesting to see how much these are going to cost..... theres some lovely colours there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbee Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 They look very pretty to me. The jack socket location seems so much more sensible too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duarte Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Those are just prototypes too - the real ones come with a chrome battery cover and figured birdseye necks (at extra cost I believe) Edit, Ah yes, those are shown in the 2nd link. Beautiful basses. Edited December 3, 2009 by Duarte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) They do look nice. I like the pinky one the best...it would arguably look better still with a black pickup in it. P Edited December 3, 2009 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 i'd never buy one, but they do look really pretty, especially the seafoam green, sonic blue and shell pink. I think they would look better with the bullet style truss rod nut though, even if it hinders practicality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlthebassist Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Oh lordy! I love the pale pink one soooooo much! Only just got my 'ray. '95 model so has the chrome battery cover and bridge that can take mutes and love it to bits. Favorite bass ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 glad too see we're all feeling the love for them...there are some truly beautiful finishes......but i wonder how much? must be a few hundred more than a regular ray.....

Linus27 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 They said on the forum that they are going to rotate the colours every few months or so. So expect different ones popping up. That is unless they have changed their mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Sea Foam/Birdseye & Sonic Blue/Rosewood FIT! Never really looked twice at Stringrays et al, but if I was after an active bass....these would be high on the list! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I would totally be after the Seafoam green/maple combo, Or possibly a shell pink/maple combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
