New member here, just got this bass over the summer. Short-scale Music Man Stingray from the spring 2022 Ball Family Reserve collection. It’s called the Bombshell. When I saw the tortoise shell binding around the neck and the block inlays I just had to have it. To my delight it plays as good as it looks. The block inlays have nice depth and look like fire when the light hits them right.

I have to say, as a die hard Tortoise hater, that that bass looks mighty fine.
Leave it to music man to figure out a good use for tort after all
This doesn’t make me a tort fan, just more of a EBNM fab boy

Yeah it’s funny, I’m not a huge tortoise shell guy either. Particularly on pick guards. But something about using it as neck binding and those big block inlays were just so novel. And so well executed.

There are some very adamant tort…dislikers…here, but not me.
While every body color and/or shape is someone’s fave or barf-inducer, we can all agree we love our basses.

My son loves his guitar, too… 
Btw… Is tort the in another thread mentioned „salami barf“? I’m still trying to figure that out

Yes, that’s what some who don’t like tort call it.

Love that one. I was going to pull the trigger on that one but it was not available at the time. I love the Tort binding and inlays. Well, I’m hoping my bass will be here next week, care to guess what it is? I dropped several hints already so it’s almost like cheating, lol.
Paging @T_dub , @MikeC , @Reasonably_Happy lol. Oh @AnotherJosh. Y’all should have pretty good guess.

not a big fan of tort, but neither the most virulent hater … sometime I find that tort works*, and it’s the case with this MusicMan with the matching tort block inlays, in my opinion. It’s not common and it’s well made.
*: for exemple I like tort on a white P

I think that was me 
I was mostly joking though. I don’t always hate it. I think it looks nice on the Pacificas for example, goes nice with the Dark Red Burst:

I was going to go with 5HH but not available till maybe February so 5H it is. Guitar center said they that a few in stock now and sweetwater not till February so I ordered it yesterday from GC. Love the maple sandwich on that body. I’m hoping for the top half of the 225 or the 225th, it would be cool.
