Imagine a black StingRay with black pickguard and matching headstock sporting these features:

- Body: Mahogany
- Neck: Maple with Ebony fretboard
- String through body bridge


Think I'm dreaming this up? Then check these offerings:

Music Man Sting Ray 4-String 3-Bd EQ Ebony Neck Black

NEU Music Man Stingray 3 Eq. strings thru body Ebenholz bei eBay.de: E-Bässe (endet 16.11.08 23:04:57 MEZ)


:eek:


Beth, if any of these are available in HH and/or fretless, I'd probably appreciate a dealer contact...

Wow. What's the story there?

Special run we did for the German distributor, Musik-Meyer GmbH.

Hey Beth, does anyone have a summary or something of the special runs that you guys have done for the overseas market?

Like this one, those sometimes sneak under the radar on the forum and god knows we love to gossip about such things.

And yes, ME LIKEY.

PS: But The Coolest Stingray Ever is still the one Dudley did for BP - the "Biff Baby" Stingray.

any idea if ernie ball is planning on making some more of these?

by the way - does anyone know why ernie ball doesn't make a SR with a translucent black finish? i always thought black was one of the most common colors.

One seller says mahogany, the other says ash....???? Which is it? :confused:

Mahogany. And according to the distributor they are available in Germany and Austria only. So... no overseas shipping :p

I guess I'll have to do an extensive christmas shopping trip to Germany...

Holy Crap Batman. Now thats a bass!!

About perfect if you ask me..Stingray..Single H..Hog Body..Ebony Board..Matching headstock..Put a birdseye maple neck on it instead of the select maple and the bass WOULD be perfect..

How many basses need to be ordered for a special run? Inagine what an unlined fretless would look like...WOW.
