    Hello from a UK EBMM newbie...

    Thought I'd drop in and introduce myself... Just got hooked on Rays - Played a lovely brand new 2eq model a couple of years ago, but never owned a "proper" MM yet.

    I'm a professional musician, cellist, double bass player & electric bass player. I also teach in schools as a strings teacher (violin, viola & classical guitar as well.)

    I mainly play Status-Graphite basses, an ACG Harlot, a Fender Jazz & a Warwick Triumph electric upright, but have more recently purchased one of the new "Sterling by MusicMan" Ray 34's.

    This new Indonesian bass is so good (easily on a par with Lakland Skylines & other mid range far eastern instruments) that I'm now back on track to get a new 2eq Stingray in black/maple next year...

    Can your guys poly gloss a maple fingerboard for me, Big Poppa?

    Look forward to sparring with you all soon!

    Rich

    Welcome to this marvellous forum!

    I recognise you from a certain UK bass forum I think...

    Good to have you aboard, and you must check out the classic StingRays, and you must also buy a Bongo.
