[quote name='Les' post='602858' date='Sep 19 2009, 12:46 PM']Don't understand the "bit embarassed" part. Why ? I've used a Stingray for years and who the hell in the audience knows what it is ? It sometimes get a bit of attention from the odd "bassplayer" in the audience cos' it's an old one, but thats it. Compared to some of the exotica owned on here it's not even that expensive.[/quote] You're right about the audience not knowing what it is, but occasionally we play a punk gig with other bands and usually they've got crap equipment and I think they maybe they think I'm showing off, bit like when I had to drive my ex wives car which had personalised number plates, not my thing at all.

most of the posts here seem to start "I'm in a covers band or I'm in an originals band", well I'm in both, started out as originals band but soon learnt you get more gigs and money if covers are played, so we do 2 covers and then one of ours, keeps the crowd happy and introduces them to our stuff as well, oh and we only do covers we all agree on, mostly old punky stuff like the Clash, Ramones that sort of thing, seems to work

I use a stingray not because I can show off that I've got a £1000 bass, bit embarrased about it to be honest, not because I can play better with it, not even because I think it's got the best tone, but because the band as whole sound better when I use it
-
I've got a MIJ Hondo professional which I got for £40, and I really like the tone, better than my stingray, but, when gigging I use the stingray because it's got a tighter sound and it cuts through the mix so much better, the Hondo is just that little bit more flabby and tends to get lost in gig situations.

I can never decide whether a bass is any good till I play it with my band, a bass can sound awsome when played on it's own and then gets buried in the mix when played with a band, and to complicate things even more I'm a lefty, so I finish up buying second hand off ebay then reselling at hopefully the same price when I decide it's not for me.

I recently bought a 4210 combo when my Carlsbro Bass Beasty developed a fault, and I have to say it sounds awsome on the modern channel with the Beasty used as a 15 inch extension cab, got some real clean grunt behind it, didn't get that hot at a recent hour long gig

[quote name='steve-soar' post='551663' date='Jul 26 2009, 11:21 AM']Wise man. [/quote] You're the second person to say that, I think perhaps Stingrays don't really come into there own till they're used in a gig situation, on your own or quietish band practice they don't seem that special, but with the wick turned up they just cut through the mix cause they produce such a tight low end sound -
[quote name='PaulWarning' post='400806' date='Feb 5 2009, 12:10 PM']Here we have a rare all black, 1995, left handed Ernie Ball musicman 4 string stingray, with 3 band active preamp, serial no L03417, in excellent condition. There are some small light scratches as I've tried to show in the photo without much success, but it does show the area they're located in. They happened when I rather stupidly left my metal strapped watch on while I was playing. Apart from these you would have to buy new to get one in better condition. I won't go on about how good these basses sound as they are legendry, but as you would expect it plays beautifully. I could post for about £20, or deliver up to 50 miles away, from Nottingham for 30p a mile. It comes complete with the original musicman hard case. £825. Will consider P/Ex with a left handed Fender p bass [attachment=19785:4__1_.jpg] [attachment=19784:2.jpg] [attachment=19786:DSCF0004.JPG][/quote] Withdrawn from sale

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='483971' date='May 9 2009, 07:52 PM']black left handed stingray 4,[attachment=24987:2.jpg] 3eq 94 or 95, been gigged so one ding and a few scratches in good nick, complete with musicman case, part ex for a Fender P bass[/quote] I've decided to withdraw my Stingray, used it for a gig at the weekend with my new Marshall MB 4210 combo plus 15 inch extension cab and it sounded awesome, guess I had a lucky escape, somebody might have bought it.

[quote name='coasterbass' post='488483' date='May 15 2009, 08:41 AM']In my humble opinion, I reckon that must be newer than a 94/95.... Mine is an August 1996 and is serial 0000116 Very lush, very nice - I wish I needed a second Stingray!![/quote] sorry, you're right, just rechecked it's 2004/2005, only 10 years out

[quote name='coasterbass' post='485083' date='May 11 2009, 02:23 PM']Looks lovely! Whats the serial number (on the bridge)? We should be able to age it from that. The maple neck does look lovely with those big fat markers. Definitely a lush bass.[/quote] serial No L03417

Left Handed Fender Precision needed MIA or CIJ
-
asking price is £750, the scratches are so light I can't show them in a photo but they occurred when I rather stupidly played with my metal strapped watch on, and I use a pick, so they are in the area you can see on the photo. The ding is on top of the body Postage to the Netherlands is £80 to Amsterdam, maybe more to another place Send me a PM if you want to take it further [attachment=24992:DSCF0005.JPG]
