Hey BP! Do you know these signatures?

So this 1980 MM bass is listed on ebay and the seller included a picture of the inspection tag. I wondered if you might have any stories to tell.

that bass is gorgeous, but it is pre EB

It's a Pre-EB (Ernie Ball aquired MM in 1984)

At that price, I'd like to see a heck of a lot more pics.

i'm sorry but i don't see what the big fascination with pre-eb stingrays is. i have played one at the bass centre and it sounded crap compared to the current generation of EBMM basses(but it still sounded good!).

today's quality is much better, the tone is much better, and the price is right.

$5K? I think I'd rather have 3 Bongos.....

 

[Big Poppa]

No I dont..those are just inspection sigs that were made by supervisors and I cant remember (if I ever even know) who they would be

 

[Mr Light]

Wow!

I got to hand it to them, it is in great shape. And I love to keep the little tags for keep's sake too. (I still have mine). But, for $5K, I would rather have five 'Rays in five different colors... Which is actually a dream I have.

I just don't trust ebay, period.

Thanks for responding. I just saw that one and thought what a well kept piece.
