Very nice! I,ve just got my first Stingray as well, always fancied one but never got round to it. Although mine is a 2eq 1996 model.

Reminds me of Parcel Farce who called to deliver a guitar while I was at work, and on getting no reply simply chucked it over my back garden fence!

It appears to have grown an extra string!

Played a Jazz last night for the first time, (well a VM Squier), and was surprised at the sound After playing a P Bass for umpteen years it was So different from the sound i used to get. Lovely deep bass for the reggae and middley/toppy sounds for the rock stuff, and a really different feel of the neck, very fast, had to stop over shooting my target notes! I,m looking forward to playing again next week

Theres a bum note, well chord played by Sir Macca on piano on Let It Be, Have a close listen after the guitar solo, under the word "mother" Macca plays a wrong chord. Sticks out like a sore thumb to me

This is the first Stingray I have ever owned, I,ve been playing bass for [b]CENSORED[/b] years, always fancied one but never owned one, having been a P Bass player. Bought from a Basschatter last month.

Saw [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390201694871"]these[/url] on ebay, dunno what they're like but ordered some for my Squier Jazz

[quote name='daz' post='1138897' date='Feb 23 2011, 05:32 PM']Parcel farce lied and said id twice not been in when they called, even though my package was delivered to my parents house who are pensioners and never go out and a dog that barks the house down if the gate so much as squeeks. They then said it'd been sent back down south to their depot, instead of leaving it in the north west. I dont belive that my parcel even came near my home town. They could have also left it with either neighbours if it needed a signature. I firmly belive that if a driver only has a few parcels left and its getting near days end, that they just drive on straight home and fiddle the paperwork. Why the bosses dont just check the tachograph i'll never know. Or maybe i do know. They dont want bad stuff happening on their watch, so they just back the drivers who seem to be about 50% lying scumbags.[/quote] They didnt even bother to ask my neighbours they just chucked [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=121934&hl=haimesy""]this[/url] over my back garden fence last Friday when I was at work!! Lucky Haimesy double boxed it.

After going to collect it freom Parcel Farces West London depot and keeping me waiting for over 45 minuites......You guest it, THEY HAVE LOST IT!! they dont have a clue where it is!! and now they expect me to file a claim for the parcel they lost. Steer clear of this shower of sh*t guys!!

What are their delivery times like? I know they are based in Germany. I ordered a gig bag last monday and got an email on tuesday saying it had been dispatched and would estimate 3 or 4 days delivery. Just wondering when to expect it.

Guy Pratts 1960 Jazz Bass

I sing about a dozen numbers in my band and seem to get by reasonably well, although I have to cut back on the basslines a bit. A simple root fifth or root third fith can get me by if the band is really tight. I used to try and play the original bassline but that was impossible. I have a DVD by The Eagles where Timothy B Scmidt sings some of his numbers and plays a nice simple line, so I suppose I,m in good company.

Looks like its been beaten with an ugly stick! and then some!!

Thing is, if you dont play it then someone is bound to request it anyway! happens most weeks with me. Unfortunately, we are entertainers and we are in the entertainment business. Nuff said.

What are they chinese or something else?
