stingrayPete1977

Just had a poke around the f holes and it's hard to say, the centre is quite curved and fairly thin behind the bridge area which would suggest pressed from a single sheet but the edges feel like a different contour from the front more consistent with it bring scooped out for want of a better term? Just checked on the gedo site and they are listed as half carved but maybe one mans carved is another mans as long as it's not ply and has been carved after pressing for it's final fit?

Anyone familiar with the Jason Donnavan that sets up in Bristol on a weekend? Brilliant i say.

Ah right im with you so they leave more wood in places rather than create like a pressed sheet but carved......off for a peek now

Lovely! I didnt know they could have a pressed solid top, it looks very similar to my romanian Gedo other than mine has a curved back, how can I tell if its pressed rather than carved? Ta

If its a barefaced check the feet and handles are still there! Lol only joking See how the owner looks after his/her gear as that will be a good indicator of how they will have treated the cab when in use regarding overloading it or throwing it about. Chromatic scales holding the notes are best imo for finding that frequency that gets anything loose to rattle, dont be surprised to find a note that makes something in the sellers house rattle, my bedroom doesnt like A#

Anything with two 12 inches in it is going to be popular on the internet!

Yep that all looks cool,nice.

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1384955656' post='2282733'] That has just given me an idea for a screenplay. It's about 2 bass players who take a bit of a shine to each other........................... [/quote] Haha, it would have to be big red X and someone who only likes fenders that turns him in the end!

Id say there were a lot less 5 string basses in the lime light when the SR5 came out, EBMM were already playing off the Stingray name with a bass that bears little or no resemblance to a Stingray which people will have identified by the single underslung tuner, still a first port of call when trying to spot a bass in the shadows of a dimly lit stage for me is that single tuner glinting. The SR5 should have been called a Silouhette bass as its bassically a bass version of the EBMM guitar and with 2 tuners underneath but the Ray connection would have been lost other than the humbucker visually. Which does the blue SR5 resemble most the Silo guitar or the Stingray classic?

Strings and things are cheaper than the replica ones too!

Can I have one eye put in on it's side then?

I don't like the way they look stacked if they are not all the same width, height I can cope with .

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1384891146' post='2281998'] Mines older but it's tolex [/quote] Looks like mine is a proper vintage version then, it's getting more collectable as the thread goes on

[quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1384602864' post='2278558'] I'm thinking of the same exact thing. I want to sell my 3 basses to get a 55-94. [/quote] I think it will happen one day although I will keep my black SR5, its worth the least but is my favourite bass so it can be the spare to my future 55-94

I have noticed that the resident experts on here are quick to tell everyone not to use mismatched cabs even though a 1x15 and 2x10 was a very popular rig for a long time yet the most popular mismatched rig I see now is normally some kind of Barefaced mountain of various cabs piled up with some on their side etc?

Food is always good, waitress thing just a bit weird. l8rs

I still prefer rat fur even if both were in mint condition, although it wouldnt stop me buying a cab either way.

I wish I had filmed you and Greg at your gig so as to let people here understand why you are all wireless or maybe just clueless PAT testing and food later then, see you in a bit

If I ran henry hoover over my 5 year old cab it would look like new, once you rip tolex or the Barefaced finish (maplins pvc ) thats it ripped forever or stuck down with glue etc. Give me rat fur anyday, it must help damp the cabs too the same as people say about PA cabs?

I am warming to the s version then

Not found a single defining clip but love his work with EST [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gXhwv9_ZS0[/media] [/quote] The pizz tone on this to me is the holy grail that electric bass players want but will never get, I dare say getting it on DB is probably a lot harder than he is making it look!

Totally different drivers afaik so they may sound totally different to each other, rat fur on the outside which I prefer too.
