    You can tell it's a fake....the neck plate, the bridge, the pickups....even the logo looks f'd up. Pretty messed up.

    You can see it´s a five string in a four string body imitation. How can they get away with it? Looks like they are selling in big quantities too! And if you scroll down you can see Gib***s, Rick******s and other USA brands. Shame.

    Angry

    WTF?? Why can't sellers just admit it's a copy and sell it as "Musicman Stingray COPY"!
    As noted above, it's obviously NOT a real Stingray, so why try to fool someone?
    Besides, who would believe ANY REAL Stingray is $300/$400 USD!
    That's pretty effin' bold too, to put the EBMM logo on it, full well knowing it's a copy!
    Gotta love interweb retail.

    Is it my eyes, or does the string spacing look a little tight?

    Not sure how much of a 'trap' it is. They're not selling them for $1500 USD. They're $300/$400 USD. That's about right for a copy of any bass.

    However, using the real branding is complete BS and definitely should be stopped asap!

    true, but if it's crap and the people get to think the EB basses are crap...hopefully there's some effective (legal) way of stopping it

    ofcourse Big Poppa could buy them all and use them as fire-wood for a BBQ, if they don't remove the 'ernie-ball'

    Good luck with that. They simply close shop and then re-open under a new name. I have some personal experience with that.
