EBMM Short Scale is Brilliant

EBMM Short Scale is Brilliant

As a proud owner of a new EBMM Short Scale Stingray let me just say they knocked this one out of the park. I admit I was skeptical when they got rid of the Cutlass and Caprice. I wasn’t sure how they were going to improve upon those wonderful basses. Let me tell you as a player with smaller hands I am truly loving this bass!

That roasted neck is just so smooth and the shaping is just perfect. Let me tell you that not all 1.5″ nut width are created equal. Just the smoothness of the curve on that neck shape makes this bass such a joy to play. I feel a little bad for the people who got the first year model without the roasted neck because when I listen to demos I feel like the roasted neck model has a little more soul. It just sounds more broken in…which I dig but others may not.

The electronics are just spot on too. They seemed to match the volume between parallel and single coil…I can’t even tell a difference. Series has that nice boost in volume. What’s fascinating is that in all the modes their is this beautiful balance between the strings. There is this evenness in volume and tone. That balance only becomes upset(in a beautiful way) when you engage the volume/bass boost.

I mean what can I say…they’ve done it again! How many of us have been clamoring for years for a passive stingray…and we got it 🙂 Thanks again Big Poppa and every one at EBMM that made this bass a reality and especially to all the dedicated factory workers and engineers who work tirelessly to make these special instruments a reality.
