Is it a "girls bass"?

Are you kidding?!?

Let me tell you about the whole 'girl' thing. My wife pulled out a short bat on 2 good sized guys who where going to go after this other lady. Mrs. AntMan was ready to ROCK. They saw her determination not to allow the other lady or herself be victimized and backed off. So, if I have to use my wife as an example of 'girl' then any bass in the EBMM line is a great match :D

The ladies Rock and don't forget it :cool:

If you were to hit the guitarist in the head with your Sterling, I'll bet it would feel about the same as a Stingray.

Not that you should do this, of course. There are lots of other brands that will do for that job.

from a transplanted guitar player, the sterling was the easiest bass to get into and still get the "sound" without the added size.
i eventually ended up getting a stingray5, figured if i was going to go bigger might as well get the extra string lol

That "girl's bass" thing made me laugh :)
I could get the same attacks about my JPs with this little shape and "cute" colors ^^

My girlfriend use to tickle me saying that my guitars are ugly and not full size, but you know how it is when couples irritates each other for fun ;)

Thought there is no sexism in this topic, I wanted to say I'm the only man in the band I play, and I confirm that girls rocks hard !
We play punk, rock, progressive and metal, they have the mojo and I feel so lucky XD

Well there are some pretty good girl bass players out there as well. I can't get over the one who plays with Beyonce, and the one who used to play with Prince - and Gail Ann Dorsey.

The Sterling is only slightly smaller than a StingRay and has a full scale neck, so I reckon your bandmates have got it totally wrong - you should advise them to look after their part of the music and you'll look after the bass part - I doubt they thought it was a girly bass tone when they heard it!!

drT - You are referring to Divi Roxx (Beyonce) and Rhonda Smith (Prince) if memory serves me right. Rhonda is now kicking it with Jeff Beck!


Gail Ann Dorsey is my dream woman!!! So much groove, soul and plays a 'ray!
