Case Candy? What's included?

[jbass62``]

I just bought my first MM bass yesterday from GC. It's a Stingray HH slo special (and it's a beauty!). When I got it home and opened the case, all that was included was a polishing cloth, the keys to the case and the hang tag. Am I missing anything, such as a truss rod adjustment tool? I recently picked up an OLP MM1 (axis) from ebay and it came with a truss rod adjustment tool. Just wondering...

You have everything. There is no special tool for the truss wheel - just something sturdy. I use a little yellow screwdriver.

My last purchase came with a couple of fretwipes and some EB stickers also....

Is that a Dubaldo only treat?

This bass does not exist.

Thanks for the info. Oh, and by the way, here's a pic of my "non-exsistant" bass, lol.

Mine came with fuzzy black carpet, some rock candy in a little brown bag, and a towel to wipe your hands and mouth off after you ate the candy, tasty.

My Dargie didn't come with the EB cloth....only some stickers and a couple of EB wipe samples.

My candy didn't taste too good...I can't believe you ate all of yours.

My case came with a packet of EB cleaners and some stickers, some desiccant, no key (as if every other key I have DOESN'T already fit the lock) and no cloth.

But damned if it wasn't full of Stingray...

 

[maddog]

my case came with a Bongo singleH 4 banger.

the rest of you guys got ripped.

Except that Bean guy.

dayumm i love white basses.

mine came with the the hang tag, cloth cleaner sample thingys, keys and a print out of the electronic switch positions. they forgot the matching headstock i was hoping for at least an allen wrench for the bridge.

im an EBMM noob. what makes it an SLO special?

For truss rod adjustment, I use a "scratch awl" instead of a small screwdriver. I find they are more "robust".

Congratulations! I love those HH StingRays, and have a white one as well!


Oh, btw, for the trussrod wheel, just use a 3mm allen wrench or an size No 1 philiphs jeweller's precision screwdriver (short, thing and full metal). I always have a set of these in my gigging bass case:

Nice bass, like the PG and welcome to the maple FB family!

 

[Sting]

My case came with a cool Ernie Ball polishing cloth, a set of keys, a plastic bag and hang tags. As an extra bonus they included an Electric Blue EBMM SR5 HH, which by itself is well worth the price I paid.

I believe those now ship from the factory with each new instrument. Although I would like to believe it is a DuBaldo only treat!

Mine came with some gummy bears and some twizzlers.

Mine came with a child....

When did they come out with that pink with purple dot finish? I have a daughter who is an aspiring bassist that would love a Sterling with that finish.
