Hi there,

I've been playing bass as a hobby since 2002. As an inexperienced player I soon bought a Sterling and sold it a few months later because I couldn't get a handle on the pickups and EQ. Boy was that dumb!

Fast forward to 2007. I was shopping for a 5 string bass. Honestly an EBMM wasn't on the radar because I didn't want to "make the same mistake twice". Plus cost was an issue, until I tried out a Stingray 5 HH! Once I tried it I knew it was the right bass for me! I'm petite with small hands and this bass felt the best!

The only word I can describe when playing it is joy. I really feel happy when I play it. It has been worth every penny!

Also, I just bought a Markbass LMII! My previous amp was the Gallien Krueger 400RB-IV. That amp has been great but the LMII gives me the same feeling that my SR5HH does. I hope to add a Markbass cab too, just trying to decide which one!

I play mostly at home and jam occasionally with some of my friends from work occasionally.

I'm very thankful to have a great husband to put up with my gear talk and GAS pains. :D

And a big thank you Sterling and EBMM for a great bass!

Welcome......:D

Those 5'er's are so nice that I wish I could used to them. I've played the 4 banger so long now that it just feels right..........:D

Enjoy........ OMB

Welcome aboard. Very nice bass! You can't go wrong with a Stingray 5 (of course I'm a biased Sr5 zealot). Good choice.:D But beware.... if you hang around here long enough you'll be suffering more GAS real soon. (look out for the Bongoloids, they're bound to get to you!!);)

P.S. I'll get in before Aussie Mark..... that bass would look really sweet with a Tort pickguard!!
