Proud owner of a new Classic Collection StingRay

[Navybass]

I just picked her up on Friday and she's a beaut. I got the green one with white pickguard and rosewood neck. I love the tone of the 2 band EQ. The feel of the bass is fantastic.

Pictures to come soon.

If you don't mind me asking what did it cost you?

We aren't allowed to post selling $ of new instruments here.

But it sounds like Naybass got one of the NAMM display models.

FWIW, The local GC here in Columbus had two of the new Classic Stingrays.
The Mint Green with Rosewood... and the Classic White with Maple.

The Classic White with Maple went home with me.

Like the 2-band preamp! Broader tone control... that works well with the SR.
Didn't know how I'd feel about that until I played it. (Only owned 3-band SRs prior)
Setup and intonation were absolutely flawless.
This one doesn't have the figured/birdseye neck... but it's still fantastic.

I think it's taboo to mention exact cost... so I'll refrain.
But I got a deal *way* too good to pass up.
Sign me up... I'm a full fledged addict.
Does that Dr Drew guy have some sort of GAS rehab program?

Jim, congrats on a real beauty! Thanks for posting pictures.

I thought the white ones came with Tort pg? Or is that only the Classic SR5?

I'm gonna have to check out my local GC's ASAP!

There are two different shades of white: A more whitish white as special run for guitar center which come with the white PG, and a more creamish white as the regualr classic model which comes with a tort PG.

And I want to know more about this "Navybass" thing!

Could someone please explain the differences between a 2 band and 3 band eq? I of course know a 2 band is just bass and treble but I don't understand how this affects overall tone. I'm in love with the new colors and am saving up to buy a sterling but this has been bugging me a lot.

[Yellofury]

Wow congrats man!!

So after reading this thread, I emailed GC and asked if\when they'd be stocking any of the EBMM Classic series Stingray 4 or 5's online or at brick and mortar.

They replied that they weren't and that they'd be special order only?

HUH? I have a feeling the 'product specialist' had no idea what I was asking about.
