In case that's intentional, I'd better keep mum. But that's what I'm getting if Fi Red doesn't take the 3rd spot (which was TBD as of BPL).

oh how i wish you'd tell us and let us rejoice in the knowledge of what many of us will soon buy. Your loose lips would allow us to fall into a vicious circle of coveting and waiting, hoping for the future.

but i understand that it would be "uncool" to spill the beans before BP is cool with it

Yeah, not gonna be that guy. I think it might've changed since what I heard, anyway.

Just over a decade ago I became a fan of the EBMM Stingray. It took me until last April to afford and acquire the wife's blessing to obtain my SR5. Once the Stingray was in my possession I thought my life was complete, then I went to the MM website and found the Bongo 6, then the 25th Anniversary Stingray, then the Big-Al, and now these vintage Stingrays!! Good grief! Please stop Big Poppa or I think I may actually explode from all the G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

Hopefully the planets will align again soon (probably not for a couple years

), I just have no idea which of these to order next:

Bongo 6 HSp Candy Red
Big-Al of Undetermined Color
25th Anniversary SR5 Flame
Classic SR Sonic Blue

This is very intriguing - is it Peach

Is it possible that those wizards at EBMM have recreated the 77 pre-amp??

I need to own this bass. JOSH

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... I also was wondering about those bridges - are they stamped with the serial #'s too?

**silverburst** · 11-18-2009, 11:03 AM

The bridges are stamped with the serial numbers.
