Ray of colours

EBMM added more colours to their line up of short scale Sting Ray basses. As you can see, both rosewood & maple fretboard versions are offered. I'm always a fan of short scale basses, regardless of the brand name. I feel these resonate better with  guitar players as they feel more like a baritone guitar rather than shorter basses. With EBMM, even their short scale basses are listed for a premium & we know it's all about uncompromising quality.

Short sting

I was at Swee Lee last weekend & came across this little wonder. Gave it a go & it did not disappoint. If you are into shorter scaled basses, this one might just be the sweet deal you've been hoping for. The instrument itself plays well, nothing negative to say in terms of feel & overall QC. Tone is wonderful but don't expect a standard Sting Ray serving in an economy package; suffice to say that it delivers similar sonic manifestations with a hint of brightness but in a useful way, definitely. Recommended. List: $799
