Too bad EB does not make a 2 band preamp for lefties! |

Too bad there isn't a matching roasted maple fingerboard on it! |

They look KILLER. I was literally |this| close to buying a roasted SR5, but I want to wait for a maple FB myself. |

I might be wrong but the fret board looks like ebony - |

Quote: I might be wrong but the fret board looks like ebony What an dummy I am, I should have read the specs before speculating on the ebony stuff - Yes it is ebony - Well, at least It confirm I have a good eye for that... Matt, I think those are just fancy Stingray's. Unlike the "classic" collection which is supposed to be reminiscent of the pre-EB era. |

Well the finish and pickguard look trashed. |

The pickguard still has the plastic protective film on it and the finish is called black sugar... it's like a deep black with large reflective crystals in it. No relic there... I've seen other photos and the whole package looks like pure unadulterated sex. It looks even better with a roasted maple FB and the black sugar finish... *drool* |

I thought that finish was called "Black with pocket lint and toe nails" |

Oh ok. Thanks bro. Yeah that would be gorgeous. I like the neck color a lot. And sparkly things rule. |

IMO (and numerours other high-end luthiers) it's still too early to tell. I think we'll know what the jury decides with respect to all the stability claims in about another 5-10 years all the best, R |

If EBMM would ever fix that dead/quiet G string issue, I'd be totally on board for this bass. |

I agree, the low "G" issue is my only grieveance with my Stingray. It is less of an issue with the 2 band preamp but unfortunately not available for us lefties. Two ways I found to mitigate it: Don't scoop the mids too much - Use DR High Beam strings |
