Wow! That Brulee is gorgeous! Shame I can't afford any of these 'modern' prices though...

I really enjoyed my SS. I’m glad to see more people can get their hands on them. As a bridge troll the regular Ray suits me best, but I’m happy more human shaped folk can enjoy the Ray sound in a more suitable package.

Came across one in a local shop that I think is starry night. Not going to say where in case someone tries to snipe it

As a lifelong (35+ years) guitar player having recently switched to bass as my main instrument, I'm really intrigued by the short scale EBMM Stingrays.
In the past, they were always described as limited edition basses. I don't see that description for the 2023 basses. Are these short scales going to be more of a standard production model offering from EBMM? Asking because a new short scale isn't really within my current budget, but if this is a limited run, well . . . .

Welcome to the forum! If a new EBMM Short Scale isn't in your budget, I'm really enjoying my SBMM.

NBD: SBMM Short Scale StingRay

For my 50th birthday (yesterday) I wanted something affordable to mark the occasion. The result was this lovely SBMM Short Ray. She plays SO beautifully, action, neck relief and nut were practically prefect out of the box. It is truly one of the best playing instruments I have ever had the...

If I remember well there were 25 of each colours. You can see the number of remaining instruments below the street price when you select a colour. Only Pacific Blue Burst is sold out.

Just came to say that this bass is blowing my mind. My first EBMM instrument and the neck is the best on any instrument I've played including comparable ESP and Gibson guitars. Only 7 lbs and so much fun to play!

I really need to get my hands on one of these. Should have bought one of the plum ones from the Vault...but did I?!? No. Sigh.
