Stingray. Always fancied one. Got one. Surprisingly disappointing. At the same time I picked a U.S. Sub, it blew the Stingray away.
The Sub was well worn and had been played a lot, whereas the Stingray was almost mint, it played fine but just didn't have "it".
Status Streamline was another. It wasn't the marmite body shape as I quite like it. I can't pinpoint what it was but I just didn't get on with it. It didn't sound or feel right to me.
Reading the above comments, I'm wondering now about a Ric, I'd never wanted one or saw the appeal. That is until the last 12 months when I've listened more to them, unintentionally to start with when I found out a band I really was blown by used Rics almost exclusively. Now I've made an effort to listen to them and like them quite a lot. Still don't like how they look though.
