[CliffBass]

Hola EBMM forum,

How/when/where can you get gold hardware on a StingRay?

Thanks!

Look for a Limited Edition Stingray from 2008. It had Gold Hardware. JOSH

find a 2005le stingray and you get a black bass with gold hardware

Astoria, NY GC has the blue/gold SR5 last time I was there.

Edit: now I see you are from SD...someone else on the east coast might take interest....

Oh and it's my first SR!!!!!

 

[spideyjg]

Congrats.

White????? Damn old brain of mine I thought it was a burst or other dark color.

Glad you grabbed it. Now get a picture!

[Caca de Kick]

I can't resist to get involved in this thread,
...so the gold hardware looks awesome and classy on every bass, but if You'll use this bass as "long mileage" working horse, ...don't buy that!

If You have more than one bass and will use this gold hardware bass just time after time and for collection reasons, ...than buy it!

I'm writing this 'cause have a bad experience with one of my previous basses with 22 karat gold plated hardware, after hard'n'long working horse usage I've destroyed almost all golden finish and bass was looking awful!

This has been discussed before. Obviously, your "previous bass" wasn't done by EBMM...

That's correct!

 

[mynan]

That's correct!

Maybe next time you should "resist" a little more before you give bad advice based on some other manufacturer's product.

My 2006 LE Ray's gold hardware is still in excellent condition. When I clean/polish the bass with guitar polish - I include the hardware. I suppose this reduces oxidation - and keeping finger oils and gunk off the hardware can't hurt either.
