(SOLD) Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4H Olympic White 1997
EB Music Man Stingray 4H, made in USA 1997, olympic white. The neck on this... oh golly, what a glorious piece of birdseye maple. It's a seriously saucy piece of wood. It's perfectly straight and has that reassuring rigidity typical of these basses; it feels super resonant, sturdy and like a best friend for all your adventures. Tone-wise, there's a heap of Stingray growl and aggression on tap: massive mids with heaps of punch and attack and a rounded, weighty bottom end. It'll happily cover funk, metal, motown... whatever you need really. These come around in black, natural and sunburst fairly regularly, but the crisp olympic white is far less common. It looks SO cool, it really can't be overstated just how rad this is. Plus, this isn't far off half what you'd pay for a new one, if you were silly enough to buy new instruments, which you're not, right?
