The Old Smoothie is a throwback to a prototype of the late 1970’s and the Ball Family Reserve package adds extra class. Including a trans buttercream finish, bound fretboard and roasted maple neck, the BFR is a definite looker.
In this video, I also compare the Old Smoothie with the more traditional Stingray to help you decide if the Old Smoothie is the right bass for you.

You selling this bass?
Just FYI: Leo Fender designed the Stingray at his CLF research factory/workshop for the Music Man company with which he was partnered and designing products for. This includes the prototype that the Old Smoothie is based on. Sterling Ball was a beta tester and was not fond of how hot the pickups were on the other Stingray prototypes were. So Leo put together a specific prototype just for Sterling to try out….the model he coined Old Smoothie.
Actually, a traditional (pre-EB) Stingray had a metal cover with screws for the battery compartment . The plastic battery box was a change made by EB to the modern Stingray. Since this bass is a tribute to a beta version of the Stingray given to Sterling Ball by Leo Fender, a plastic battery box just wouldn’t be right.
If it was a BFR wouldn’t it have the BFR logo at the 12th?
you keep saying regular sting ray… The Classic Sting Ray has the two band EQ and String thru body…
2:50 can someone clarify this for me? there are tiny strings in the pickup? wtf
Just got mine last week. Love smooth fast neck, great low's and mids. My favorite bass right now. Great review, you sold me on it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FEEL?!?! THICKER NECK, THINNER NECK, WHAT???
Was hoping you'd play them side by side.
