Stingray5

@drTStingray - I have just one thing to say: "hubba-flippin'-hubba!!" 👍😎👍

Yeah, I may have to re-think my thoughts in my original post. It does seem the old Thunder's are creeping up a little more. Here's an original Thunder II, only thing is it's in Japan, going for a tad over $1,800 (£1,300) - plus shipping. 😏🤔 (Seems another dealer has the same bass -- or at least it's the same picture -- at a slightly lower price) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254810812956

Nice to see another Gino Vannelli fan here. I actually got to see that same band in 1992 in London at The Marquee (when it moved to Charing Cross Rd). Mike Miller on guitar, of course, who also played bass on one number. Drummer Enzo Tedesco totally blew me away, too. The whole gig was excellent. Only thing was Joe Vannelli playing all the other bass parts on keys/synth. He did an excellent job but just a shame they didn't go with a real bottom-ender!

Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus Pat Metheny - Travels Jeff Beck - Live At Ronnie Scott's Rufus Wainwright - Milwaukee At Last Genesis - Seconds Out Yes - Yessongs Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E. Weather Report - 8:30 Zappa - Live in New York (and Roxy & Elsewhere) Gino Vannelli - Live (in Montreal) Brian Wilson - SMiLE Live Sting - All This Time Allman Bros - Live at the Fillmore CSN&Y - 4 Way Street Santana - Lotus

Exactly.

Following on from the optimistic Gibson Grabber (posted recently by @ash), I just spotted this Westone Thunder 3 with a BIN price of £2,000!! Starting bid is 1,400. As the owner of two of the earlier Thunder II basses (see my signature pic), I can testify that these babies punch well above their weight and are true classics from the Japanese Matsumoku factory. But 2 grand?! Seriously? Or am I missing something here? 🤨 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324787506820

After much searching online I settled on this one from Musiclily on Amazon (they're also on Ebay). It's still there along with a couple of useful reviews from other purchasers. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019IDNW90/

Got it. Thanks. 👍

That's a nice comparison of the old and the new. Shows that the fundamental Stingray sound is right there in both models. I'm curious to know how you recorded them. I'm assuming DI into interface? Or was it an amp/combo setup (DI or mic-ed)? Were external EQ's flat?

Doctor, I'm just asking for a friend who may need some help as he actually doesn't mind the ads, especially if they're music-related and even better, bass-related. That said, he's not sure it would be possible to filter such ads accordingly, anyway. Nevertheless should my friend seek therapy or further treatment? I look forward to your response (I mean my friend does). 😏🙄
