  1. 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.
  2. What a great band !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAjIOdsxVpU Been playing their stuff a lot
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. [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
  6. 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]
  7. 4.1 kg on digital scale. Lighter than both my stingray 4s
  8. Just picked up a 8.5lb stingray 5. Will add photos shortly plus my two stingray 4s for good measure
  9. Hi, any ideas how much a lightweight stingray 5 should weigh compared to the norm ? Thx
  10. Yep, try "just around the corner" from Herbie Hancock. Classic slap bass track
  11. Hi, where are you based ? Thx
  12. Johnny Hammond - Gears Every track a winner Played it today on vinyl
  13. And the great Dennis Chambers on drums
  14. Hi, where are you based ? How much does it weigh ? Thx
  15. Hi, how much does it weigh ? Thx
  16. Holiday w/e bumpage
  17. New Photos added
  18. String spacing is 17.5mm. Serial # = 7267. It's a 1997 model. Emailed Gibson shortly after I bought it who kindly supplied DoB and manual.
  19. Hi, Tobias Killer B for sale. Will add some proper photos later (handy hint, its the one on the left). Top quality bass. Hardly used. Huge variety of tones. Wood & grain is exceptional. Build quality top notch. Only selling as I prefer large bodied basses £750. Based in W London. Supplied with hard case & manuals [attachment=106517:IMG00141-20091025-1210.jpg] [attachment=106618:tobias4.JPG] [attachment=106619:tobias2.JPG] [attachment=106620:tobias3.JPG] [attachment=106621:tobias1.JPG]
  20. 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
  21. Dude, where are you based ?
  22. Dude.....one word "don't". My 1978 is a keeper
  23. 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.
  24. Message to mods : can this thread get pinned ?
  25. Here you go : 1. Buy a NAS hard drive. About £100 from Amazon. Should have RAID to avoid risk of harddrive meltdown. 2. Download EAC. Its free and is the best CD ripper out there. 3. Burn your CDs uncompressed. Hard disk space will not be a problem. Roughly 300 CDs = 200GB. 4. Buy a digital streamer, e.g Linn Sneaky 5. Connect NAS / streamer to broadband. Control with iphone, ipad or android phone.
