Man, Ive got to chime in again.

I really, really dig the piezos, and what they add.

Ill be honest. All of you know that Im a diehard EBMM fan. The ONLY other bass that moves me is just a good old P-Bass. That said, the piezo really adds a P-Bass type sound to the Ray sound. Its like having a Ray and a P-Bass in one, and it really sounds THICK.

Man, I am so glad you like it. It was a Stingray that stopped my crave for a P Bass. I had a couple, one had THE sound, but it didn't have anything on my Stingray. Yes, I will have another one. Heads up Jack.
Anyway, have fun with the pickguard change.

Off to the steel drum band,


where's my rum drink?

PEACE

Seems like a good summary in bass playerspeak of something so rich and elegant as the SR/piezo sounds;

flats on my LB100 gives me a relaxing, earthy feeling;
but still, nothing quite like the combined relaxation and excitement of the SR5/piezo/Slinky experience; it's almost a complete contradiction;

it's really difficult to breakdown and analyze; the real kicker for me is the special feel of SR5 ergonomics on top of the combined subterranean (earthy) and extraterrestrial (airy) sounds;

Thanks to EBMM for having the inspiration, guts etc to create such fine and beautiful weapons of singular and mass exuberation :cool:

Congrats Travis! Black on black always looks good. Keep that pickguard when you try others.
