I had been without a Ray' for the past couple years. I finally went out and bought a fretless Stingray. I can't believe basses are made this well. It's amazing how well the necks play and how well the Stingray sound fits a fretless. Man I love this bass!
Good job to all the folks at EB! Thanks!
Next on the list is a Stingray HS!

You just don't realize what your missing after a while. It's like drinking wine. After a while that crappy wine tastes pretty good...until you drink a really good wine and then try to drink that same cheap wine. You really realize that you've been drinking swill:D
Thanks, I don't think I will be leaving this time around.

We left the light on for you.

Now I just have to say this: BONGO.

But if I can help you with your next Stingray, I'll do that, too.

I was fortunate enough to try a Bongo HS, I believe, at a GC when they got it in (so no bad setup). It was probably the lowest action I had ever seen and probably one of the most versatile basses I had heard, tonewise. Not sure I love the shape enough to buy one? I can appreciate the beauty and the playability though. It's like within the past few years EB has really brought the bar up with their stuff. I don't think there is a company out there that still produces basses in the good ol' USA in this price range that can compete. I know G&L is right up there but to me the EB's I've tried just outplay them. Although I do love my 90' G&L SB2.

I never played a stingray but the bongo and SR5 let me understand what is being said.

I would love to goof around with a MM fretless. I bet it is glass.

Speaking of Stingray...

Here's a picture of "The Light" when it was about a 1 1/2 years-old...

I absolutely love this bass. Fretless feels completely normal to me. Now when I pick up my SB2 I am kind of dissapointed. It's weird. I think I need to put flats back on my SB2. The rounds just don't sound good. I also ordered some TI's for the Singray. Hope they work out.

I can see why you named it The light:D That's a beauty!

Hey Thanks.

I kind of wish that the picture showed the matching headstock as well. That's one of the best pictures of it, though.
