That is an *awesome* looking bass, and you know it will sound fantastic . Having serious Bongo envy - generally strong GAS all around lately. But the maple neck with binding...oh my...

I'm not sure what advice to give you in this situation but if you decided to sell it I would find a way to give it a home in NJ - would go great with my '88!

In all seriousness, despite the finish...

Don't tease!

Heinz! The emerald green sparkle Bongo is a looker, but Heinz stands alone. I've been searching for a trans green Stingray for years because of that bass.

Would visions of a Heinz colored...

I had to go way back in the memory banks - could count 27 that I distinctly remember, but there were periods where I was trading things that hadn't actually arrived yet, so it may have been higher. ...

Some of the visible colors from the videos posted on the Music Man instagram account are absolutely amazing.

Based on the demos so far (including the ones on social media) it sounds like the 2018...

Have been listening to this on Apple music the last couple days. Really nice playing and tunes all around!

Beautiful bass - bet it thumps! That and inca silver are my two favorite pre-EBMM finishes.

Enjoy it in good health!

Scott - you can have dibs if I ever lose my mind. This one is as good as any of the great basses you and I have swapped over the years.



Not a lightweight at 10.5 lbs, but manageable since the...

Thanks everybody! I have a history of not holding onto things for long, but as I’ve gotten older and my situation has stabilized, I’ve been able to hold onto a few basses, even as I try other ones...

So a couple weeks ago I picked up two very nice Music Man Basses - a Stingray 4 2-banded and a cool medallion gold Sterling. The Stingray ended up being cool but not cool - yes it was a 2 band and...

Thanks everybody!

The finish issues are some pretty serious mojo Jack, but not in a bad way, at least not as bad as the white pickguard. My spelling was atrocious in my OP - it looks like the bass...

I’ve been out of the EBMM world for a while, although I’ve still been lurking and enjoying all the new stuff floating around. I actually have to blame Scott and Jack for jumpstarting my obsession all...

What a looker! My favorite all-time 'Ray was almost the same bass, only a little newer. Still miss that one - there's just something about the 2-band and the matte guard that get me every time.
...

That makes the tone (and playing) in these clips that much more impressive - both basses have a very "finished" sound to them. If you had told me that had been recorded through a nice DI, compressed...

Can't believe it's been 10 years. I originally ordered a 2-band Dargie Stingray with a non-matching headstock. Before they were delivered I encountered some financial difficulties and had to sell...

Would love to learn more about my new-to-me Classic Sabre Sledge Serial # B054761 - DOB and original dealer if possible. Thanks!

Thanks Joel!

HI - I have a Stingray 5 HS with serial number E65730 on the way. Mainly curious about whether it is ceramic or alnico, but would also love to know what dealer it was originally sold through, and...

I guess this is more "wait and hope" than an actual question, but is there any chance of the Reflex/Big Al electronics surfacing in another instrument, like the Bongo, somewhere down the line? The...

Had a Stingray 5 in that finish and often found myself just staring at it. Looks even nicer on that Sterling. Congrats!

2 new to me basses in the house: Reflex 5HSS in white/maple (some beautiful flame in the neck!). Serial F40716.

Also picked up a sunburst Sterling 5HH. F19480.

Would love to know DOB and...

Ok, so I've totally lost my mind. After playing the Stingray for a couple weeks, I got a little gassy and listed it for sale locally. Found a buyer within 1 day, and ended up turning it into a...

It is in fantastic shape - just a little belt buckle wear on the back. The neck feels almost like satin - more finish than the modern "unfinished" necks but not as much as waxier finish from earlier...
