Have you seen this one? Not sure if it's still for sale but you might want to look into it - it looks nice! |

No, I'm not sure that I do. Can you point to a picture of a similar body shape in our club's Showcase section. |

That's what it sounded like but I didn't know there were short scale Exploiters. |

Reading David's comment, it occurs to me that Dennis may be thinking 32", which is short scale in some circles, rather than 30.75", which is short scale in Alembic terms. |

I read "ray" as the fish, and was thinking standard point. Peter |

Manta "Ray" could mean an Omega. We make Exploiter guitars, they are really short scale. I don't recall if there are any short scale basses in Exploiter, but there's nothing preventing it from happening. |

Olie; it would take a bit of carving, but it's an interesting idea. |

An Omega Scorpion might also fit the manta ray theme. |
