oh how i wish you'd tell us and let us rejoice in the knowledge of what many of us will soon buy. Your loose lips would allow us to fall into a vicious circle of coveting and waiting, hoping for the future.

but i understand that it would be "uncool" to spill the beans before BP is cool with it

Just over a decade ago I became a fan of the EBMM Stingray. It took me until last April to afford and acquire the wife's blessing to obtain my SR5. Once the Stingray was in my possession I thought my life was complete, then I went to the MM website and found the Bongo 6, then the 25th Anniversary Stingray, then the Big-Al, and now these vintage Stingrays!! Good grief! Please stop Big Poppa or I think I may actually explode from all the G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

Hopefully the planets will align again soon (probably not for a couple years ), I just have no idea which of these to order next:

Bongo 6 HSp Candy Red
Big-Al of Undetermined Color
25th Anniversary SR5 Flame
Classic SR Sonic Blue

Is it possible that those wizards at EBMM have recreated the 77 pre-amp??

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... I also was wondering about those bridges - are they stamped with the serial #'s too?
