Modulus and Dingwall. My modulus bass is the best bass I've ever played.

Very yes.
edit: although it's worth pointing out that the bottom one is a string short.
True, but there weren't any good pics of the stealth black oneyum

Not a fan of warwicks, don't like the neck profile typically. Fenders are good utility knives. I have gotten great results out of my Carvin. I am in need of a 6 or 7 banger though, string count depends what I decide I will be doing with it primarily.
EBMM are superb, with points to the stingray/stingray 5 for having oiled necks. As good or better than my carvin, if so only marginally though. They don't have 19mm string spacing however, which is a few lost points. If there was a stingray 6 I would likely hop in a heartbeat.
I will say though, my StingRay 5s DESTROYED my Carvin basses as far as build goes. In fact I'd go as far as saying that EBMM basses are just as good, build wise, as some of the most highly regarded custom stuff I've been able to play by Alembic, Fodera, MTD, and Roscoe.

Max are you smoking some good stuff because every Bongo, Stingray, and Sterling I have played was less than up to par. Granted I haven't got one directly from Ernie Ball's shop either. to be honest my Olp stingray had better qc then any of my buddies EBMM Stingrays. This is just from my experience. I was just wondering if I'm missing something?
That's really odd. Did he get them new or used? Were they sitting on the sales floor for some time?
I'd say that EBMM has been making the most consistently good basses in that price range since I can remember.
I've owned four EBMM bass, two Stingrays and two Stingray5s and they all were amazing. One was purchased from Bass Central in FL, one was from the Guitar Center om Hallendale, FL, and two were from MAE in Fort Lauderdale, FL, so it can't really be the shops.
I have seen and held some less than amazing ones, they can't all be zingers, but for the most part they've really impressed me the most, especially since you can get a used one for fairly cheap. Even new single pickups models are pretty cheap considering the quality of build and materials.
As for those old OLPs, the predecessors to the Sterling brand, talk about hit or miss. The shop I was doing some overflow work-for for awhile got a few with frozen truss rods, and falling out frets.![]()
