These limited edition instruments by MusicMan are similar to the regular production ones. The only differences are a black headstock, and a color that is only available for that one year on the limited edition instruments only.

This bass plays like a dream. Even though it is a one pickup bass, it is very versatile due to the 3 band eq. Alot of people say that this bass is only good for slap, that statement simply is NOT true. It's good for Rock, Jazz, Slap, Country and alot of other styles.

To be fair I've not missed a new review yet, but you never know!

You have too many nice basses.

Man I hate how it's called "Envy Green"

Klander Brigade · 07-22-2005, 08:53 PM

Nice review. I've got a Stingray (not limited edition) and it really is a Godsend. If you can afford it, go for it. Shelled out $1300 for mine.

neatobassman · 07-23-2005, 02:17 PM

That Envy Green really does explain how I feel.
