[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1410642019' post='2551621'] "Back to the OP, I always think it sounds like a Stingray on 'Ashes to ashes' by Bowie, though I've only ever seen George Murray use a P bass or a Travis Bean. Definitely one on 'State of independence' by Donna Summer" Martin [/quote] State of Independence = Louis Johnson yet again

Also add Louis Johnson on the Brothers Johnson album Blam from 1978. Every track with a stingray. High in the mix. Reason I bought a ray in the first place. Somebody mentioned Kim Clarke of Defunkt. Check out In America album.

What a great band !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAjIOdsxVpU Been playing their stuff a lot

He was better in the 70s. All the Dan (post 1977) and solo stuff (with the exception of Kamakiriad - his best solo work imo) sounds too controlled and a bit lifeless personally. Lack of vibrancy and general spark

Hi, looking to buy a pair of active monitors. Planning on using them for watching DVDs and playing games on desktop too in addition to primary purpose connected to presonus USB interface Any recommendations ? Thanks

[quote name='TheMissWolfiee' timestamp='1375545293' post='2162762'] Saw this on gumtree and was wondering if it was really worth the asking price? I own a 2005 Made in USA Sub 5 and didnt pay nearly as much for it (possibly more worn cosmetically but still)... Anyway, thoughts?

Because I bought a proper Stingray 5 for £650 a month ago

Hi, took my Stingray 5 (recently acquired on ebay for £650 !!) to its first rehearsal last night - what a great bass. Superb B 3rd attempt at a 5 string. 1st was a Ken Smith Burner bought on this very forum. Great bass but 16mm string spacing was a no go. Off loaded to the Gallery. 2nd was a Tobias Killer B (also bought here). Much better string spacing (17.5mm) but never got used to small body shape which made playing while sitting awkward. Again offloaded to Gallery. Already own a pre-eb and a 1987 3EQ. [attachment=136685:IMG_03301.JPG] [attachment=136686:IMG00141-20091025-1210.jpg]

4.1 kg on digital scale. Lighter than both my stingray 4s

Just picked up a 8.5lb stingray 5. Will add photos shortly plus my two stingray 4s for good measure

Hi, any ideas how much a lightweight stingray 5 should weigh compared to the norm ? Thx

Yep, try "just around the corner" from Herbie Hancock. Classic slap bass track

Johnny Hammond - Gears Every track a winner Played it today on vinyl

And the great Dennis Chambers on drums

Sounds pretty similar to my 5 string Killer B. Doubt much of the recording has been altered. Might be putting mine up for sale. Design is great but I prefer larger bodied basses

Looks great. Probably 90-92 era, last version of the old style bridge. Someone should buy it. If I didn't already have a natural pre-EB I would be on this.
