    A picture of my StingRay's... just the basses

    I really love these three basses, I love all my EBMM's but these are in heavy rotation.

    The one on the left just came, it's NOS and according to our man Dan in customer service it's the second lefty built under the Ernie Ball banner! I'll do a better photo shoot of this one soon. Killer bass!

    The one in the middle was another eBay jewel that Brad found for me. It has a highly figured neck and just enough mojo that I feel very comfortable taking it to drunken blues jams. This thing growls like a monster and feels like warm butter!

    The one on the right is my most special possession in this world! A custom one off from Big Poppa, hand built by Dudley! I can not say thank you enough, but THANK YOU!!!

    I'm a left hander who plays right handed, so I guess that makes me confused.

    Way cool, Chuck. I look forward to some better shots of the NOS bass. That's a fine piece of history.

    Those are gorgeous. As a fellow lefty I understand how rare and special it is to have such amazing instruments available to us. Here's a goofy pic from last week at a jam. My SR4 was growling like a rabid dog!



    1. Trans Orange SR5, (Ceramic)
    2. Black Cherry Burst SR4.
    3. True Gold Bongo 5 H with Torte
    4. Black and Maple SR4
    5. Sterling Silver SR5, (Alnico)
    6. Natural SR4 Fretless
    7. Trans Red Sterling 4 Fretless

    All Lefty

    lefty or not... black cherry burst looks good

    MrM
    just put flats on the bongo!!
    just put roundwounds on your fretless!!

    eb customer support:
    E-mail: musicman_customerservice@ernieball.com
    Telephone: +1 866-823-2255

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!
