    I give up.

    Just when I start thinking about another EBMM, here comes another awesome twist.

    Maybe I'll wait another month for the next fab idea...

    Some highlights:

    1) Strings Through body / bridge with straight string pull
    2) Old School large bridge with mute pads
    3) Old School hollow saddles
    4) Serial number will be located on the bridge
    5) We will probably rotate two colors per quarter.
    6) Slab Body
    7) Compensated nut
    8) 2 band eq
    9) Old School silkscreened logo
    10) We may go with the metal battery cover
    11) 6 bolt neck plate with MM logo

    More details and pics to come!

    Oh ****. Great. Great thing. Please (!!) make some in inca silver. I had one of the first Stingrays from -76. Early one. It got stolen. Would LOVE to be able to order a new one. Inca silver and maple neck. Matching headstock would be great. The one I had did not have a matching headstock of course but that would look absolutely stunning.....

    Sincerely//Jan

    Very, very, very cool! Great, now I have another bass to add to my favorites list!

    Whatever retro you do, just please don't do the distressed/road worn thing that your competition does.

    Me likey! Me likey lots! Me likey better if rosewood fb available and single cut-away. Seems like this isn't really a "re-issue" per say, but weren't the older Stingrays cut-aways versus slab? I know my '79 Sabre is a cut-away.

    Absolutely NOT what I had expected. It's even better!

    Bringing back the mutes! And adding string through body design.

    Very nice!


    I bet these will sell like crazy.
