    New to the Forum

    It's taken me a lot of years (40 or so), but I finally own an EBMM Stingray. Having never had one before, I must say I do understand what all the fuss is about. Great presence, and the best instrument I've ever played.

    Welcome to the forum! And congratulations, that's a very fine looking bass.

    Like you, I didn't buy my first Stingray until I was 40 - but have never looked back since

    Stingray 4 H Trans Teal/Maple/Black
    Stingray 5 HH Honeyburst/Rosewood/Black 02 Mar 06
    Bongo 4 H Sapphire Black/Rosewood/Black Ice Dec 03
    Bongo 5HSp Blue Dawn/Black (on loan from strummer)
    ... and one day a Bongo 6 will be in my life
    ... and a 25th HSS 5er... and a Dargie 2 anything

    Ummmm....I have 4 with one going out this week. So soon to be 3, and maybe 2 as I have someone interested in my Bongo. If you haven't seen my posts, I'm having a baby, and am in sell mode.

    Sorry if I hijacked

    GORGEOUS!

    If I didn't have my own I'm quite pleased with, and a Bongo to boot, I'd be quite envious of that one.
