Solid body string instruments are not rocket sciences, Stingray was first introduced in 1976, and throughout the years they’ve made their name in the music history and had their particular printed onto countless modern music.  

Throughout the years, instrument design evolves, but mostly a little at a time Often manufactures would put their 1 or 2 signature product in all kinds of variations possible and try to squeeze out as much value as they possibly can and calling them the new innovative thing while they still keep in mind to ‘not mess around with the core product’ . However, in 2018 , EBMM had announced a new line of bass based on their best selling electric basses and they’re pretty darn serious.

Alot of the high end, boutique level started in the early 80s, and after 4 decades of hard work building their art and crafts to where things are.  Many of these builders are shifting into their retirement.    Some of them had decided to train a group of apprentices and continue the brand in a more systematic way, some of them decided to sell the brands, and some of them have the 2nd generation taking over the business.

Sadowsky has been around since the 80s serving professional musicians starting from NYC then soon all over the world. They’re famous for their stability and that ‘guarantee’ great sound night after night for most demanding players. When something doesn’t sounded right at a gig, it’s possibly something else other than the bass itself. In 2003 they’ve started the Metro line offering the least customizable and more affordable instruments that are manufactured in Japan. And in 2019, they’ve partnered with a factory producing even more affordable MetroExpiress basses and ended the Metro line.

Here comes the little brother of that special Fender Deluxe Jazz V I played early this year .   This was the famous John Suhr era Jazz bass who later started his own guitar company, their boutique killer at the time and it's still preferred by many players and highly in demand after 25+ years.

Soon after the recent shielding job that turned the bass dead quiet, this Japanese made 70's style bass soon became my latest fun new toy and I decided to keep it for a short while.
