Hello Everyone

Hi 34, welcome to the board and the family.

I would like to have gotten a 5 string Ray, but I look at the 4 with the egg guard & the chrome plate for the knobs, it is awsome. The 5 with the over sized guard & no chrome plate just did not make it for me. Guess if I need a 5, I always have the Fender.

Welcome Gary, and congrats on a great looking bass!

Bongos have egg guards, and who needs chrome plates when the knobs are counter sunk We're talking serious custom looks there

And, considering the 5:er you own, I seriously doubt you'll be very happy with the sound once you get used to the SR.

That's a great looking MM Bass. Maple necks are the best. Smooth and fast especially with flats. I use D'addario Chromes on my Stingray, 105-50. Won't tearup yours frets or yours fingers..........

Enjoy...... I am eyeing a Sterling for my next purchase. Great necks on them......

Very nice...

This is on the same page and is also very cool...

Imagine an all-rosewood Stingray (I can imagine that would be heavy)

D'oh I forgot to mention, the first thing I did when I got it home was put some TI flats on it.

Welcome 34Blues. The Autumn Burst is aptly named - it reminds me of warm amber or a dark golden honey... mmm, delish! Nice score. Post often.

Welcome 2 The EBMM BassShip

I bought my first MM Ray on Saturday... the Autumn Burst one:
http://www.woodsys.com/?type=cc&id=892&53L3c73d=892

... also own a Fender American Jazz V, & a Jack Casady Sig.
... I played guitar for about 30 years before switching to the bass, years of my job has taken it's toll on my hands & trying to fret those small strings became next to impossible. Wish I had picked up the bass 30 years ago.

... I would like to have gotten a 5 string Ray, but I look at the 4 with the egg guard & the chrome plate for the knobs, it is awsome. The 5 with the over sized guard & no chrome plate just did not make it for me. Guess if I need a 5, I always have the Fender.

... I've always liked Ernie Ball products, used slinky's on my Les Pauls, volume pedal & other various odds & ends. Found this forum a few weeks ago & got interested in a Ray.

... I saw this one on Woodsy's web page & it was love at first sight. Drove down to Kent on Saturday since it is only about 45 min from me & that was all it took. I'm hooked. ... Gary
