I recently acquired a 2008 EBMM 4H with bridge Piezo pick up. I understand this model is discontinued. Does anyone know how many of these basses were produced? I cannot find any information on this specific model. Anyone else own one?

- Start date
Got several, all FL, SRs, Sterlings, and Boingos. Once I did test one with frets, but it didnt win me over, just didnt "make sense". YMMV.
Of my fourteen MMs, only two have frets and those two are NOT piezo. Piezos seem to brighten up the metal-to-metal tone of a fretted bass, which is why I didnt buy the one I tested. But some other players might really like that. Obviously, not enough players liked that enough to pay $275 for it, so its discontinued.
With FL theres no metal-to-metal effect, but apparently theres just too few of us MM FL players, so all FLs are also discontinued, with and without piezos (except for FL as an option without piezos, on some special editions.)
In case you dont already know, theres a row of carbon trim pots accessed from behind the bridge in case you need to tweak the string-to-string balance. Havent done that job in years, but IIRC theres an additional pot as a master over the whole set and, again IIRC, its the pot on the "low side" of the row ... emphasis on "IIRC" !
How many produced ? Never cared about it but since youve brought it up, maybe Ive got about half of them right here ?!?
