I've always thought that Stingrays sound great, unless I'm playing one. To be honest, most single pickup basses don't give me the sound I want. (I think it's down to that weird tuning I use)
I wondered if an HH Stingray could be the answer, so I tried one, and it is the answer.
I didn't buy this to be my first choice bass, just to give me some more options. It arrived half an hour ago, and all seems to be in order. I'll give it a proper setup and play later on.
