    It’d definitely be difficult to place an order without knowing what you were going to get

    Not sure on the typos. I was surprised it states 18v active as the control layout looks like the passive or a least a 2EQ rather than the 3EQ on the normal Ray Special. There’s no rear picture so you can’t check for a battery box

    The natural finish one is even more Ade.......

    Nice to see shortscale Stingrays becoming available again in Europe but hell - not cheap at £2800. Not sure if these are special editions as they are active unlike other shorties. Whatever the case it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting a stablemate for my Starry Night passive version. https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChsSEwjVsoOphtSSAxUImVAGHVbDCdYYACICCAEQMxoCZGc&co=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1bKDqYbUkgMVCJlQBh1WwwnWEAQYGiABEgLGGfD_BwE&sig=AOD64_38pwaJ7xkdS4I4ymfMLkT_zbJJ9g&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwigrP-ohtSSAxU8W0EAHe9zCTgQwg8oAHoFCA0QtwE&adurl=

    I don’t think the fret lacquer cracking is uncommon, I had it on my old Streamline. Never got any worse or peeled. GLWTS.

    Occasionally. I didn’t think it would work well either but the rear porting does the job. I was finding that at some of the bigger venues I was having unpleasantly high volume of it was directly behind me. This has been a decent compromise in the basis that the rest of the band don’t want to go back line less.

    Funny that, I always place my MB NYI21s to the side or just in front of me. I seem to be able to hear them much better that way

    You might be right, I get a softer but still punchy sound with Lionel which might be better in a pub situation. I tend to use a Stingray on club gigs, it’s a bit more in your face and carries better in awful WMC rooms. Ive often thought about looking at alternative amp/cabs but I just feel at home with Markbass.

    Back to pub land last night for Glam Viva after a run of WMCs. A great lively pub in Brimington just outside Chesterfield, The Butchers Arms, a great live music venue. I was a bit under the weather as I’m on a short course of nasty antibiotics but, bucket at the ready we soldier on. Fortunately the bucket wasn’t needed and the good hormones lifted me. Got a compliment on my playing from a drummer in another band…..that’s the second time in ten years, I’ll try not to let it go to my head 😂 Sandberg Lionel into my usual Markbass rig and red/white/blue sequinned Converse Chucky Ts.
  10. martthebass started following Fender Pino Palladino Custom Shop ..... Machine Head question.. , Status Graphite S2 and Wanted - list of StingRay variants

    Don’t forget this one…..
  12. martthebass
    Only bass I’ve ever bought new that’s worth more than I paid…..
  13. martthebass
    It was a bit nice…. Missus insisted I’d have to sell the Lionel or EBMM shorty to buy it though and I just couldn’t do it.

    Unfortunately that beautiful black soft aged shortscale Cali TT at Guitar Village has now been sold......it's saved my bank balance getting a battering though. Did someone on here snaffle it?
  16. martthebass
    Have you tried Fender UK (FMIC UK ). I found them most useful when I lost a saddle on my JMJ Mustang, they sent me an aged piece gratis.
