Thanks guys, I wondered why it's corroded so much, seems expensive for what it is though.

Thanks guys, appreciate your comments. I'm looking for a 2eq with a maple board and 4 strings and a sensible weight, really hard to find. This info now gives me a lot more scope. Tom.

I know all things are possible but would it be straightforward to convert a Stingray 3 eq to a 2eq? Anyone done it? How hard can it be? thanks for any input.

Oh dear, they should stop making videos and concentrate on customer service methinks.

I think once I've got over it I'll probably forgive them. I had pneumonia at the time...

Glad it's not just me, very perceptive Machines, I bought it as a backup because I can't find another used Stingray. Once shops mess me about I won't use them again. Strangely enough I buy more stuff from gear4music than anywhere else. Tip top service. (For me anyway)

It is Owen, plenty more gas though.....

Well, an update to buying this bass. It had a faulty EQ in that the active/passive switch crackled and buzzed so I rang and they said no problem we'll exchange it 3rd of Jan' So I waited in all day and rang them (Andertons) at about 4pm to check that they were still coming to exchange the bass and there was a wait while he checked. When he came back he said there was no record of this! I then said look just pick this one up and refund me, you've wasted my day. He was very apologetic and said that he would exchange it on Monday. I'm sorry but by then my faith had totally evaporated so I said no. Shame on you Andertons!

I did see it, can't fail to see that. If it was maple it would have been mine. So many toys so little time..... Frank, it's only fair that I share my good fortune with the good people of Basschat

Hahaha will do Frank, They have them for a stupid price at the moment, should be £676, Andertons have 3 left at £499!!!! Mine arrived today and I'm getting used to it, colossally powerful is the first observation, back later when I work out what all the switches do....

I've never seen anything like this before, they're usually dull black and blue or sunburst. I stupidly sold my last one which was amber, daftest thing I ever did. What do you mean about the pad Doc'?

Just seen these yesterday and arriving Monday, can't wait! Perfect colour and lovely maple board, did.t even know they made them. I'll do a write up when it arrives..

Lozz just bought my Stingray, top man, great comms, prompt payment and notified me when it arrived. Can't ask for more. A real gent as his previous feedback shows. Thanks again. tom.

It is an exceptional bass, have fun Lozz! Tom.
