One of a kind sr5?

[DTG]

dont know if its a one of a kind but white with gold hardware is really cool.there is also a long winded story about not telling who is the aritist it was made for,i didn't read it all

ERNIE BALL! CUSTOM MADE! 5 STRING STINGRAY BASS - eBay (item 280472570032 end time Mar-06-10 23:27:31 PST)

Hahaha, I don't wanna buy a riddle or a 'mystery' - I just want a StingRay 5 that isn't loaded with Bartolinis...

...but those don't look like Barts to me.

If this is one of a kind, it was not a good idea to sell it on ebay. Hope the guy talked it over with EBMM, they'll know who they made it for IF it is really an endorsement.

I just do not believe they used barts for it in SLO...

 

[DTG]

still gold on white,i never thaught i would have liked it but man it looks sexy.

 

[Duarte]

True dat.

 

[oli@bass]

Bartolinis with gold pole pieces?!

SNR is E66714

If I remember correctly, the making of that bass (white with gold hardware) was discussed on this board some time ago. I just don't remember the context...

Hmmm...I smell something

 

[Big Poppa]

they werent bartolinis...it was made for a band that feels very badly about this and has decided that it isnt very smart to burn us.

 

[bovinehost]

Whoever wrote that was aware of the implications, if not the type of pickups used. They was walking as carefully as possible through that mine-field....but the forumites were yelling "Boo!"

 

[Bean]

Too bad on the back story, but it is still an absolute beauty...

...perhaps there should be a repository for unwanted EBMM's that have served the musical world (can't believe they'd give up a 'Ray like that, silly bastards, but still)...

I know, I volunteer my place!

I don't know how the $1250 makes up for the embarrassment.

If you don't want it, donate it to a music school or something.

all i could think was big al 4H,white with tort pg and gold hardware.man in my head that would look good
