  1. [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
  2. 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.
  3. What a great band !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAjIOdsxVpU Been playing their stuff a lot
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. [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? [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/musicman-sub-bass-guitar-5-string-very-rare/1026648173#photo-content"]http://www.gumtree.c...3#photo-content[/url] [/quote] Short answer = No. Why ? Because I bought a proper Stingray 5 for £650 a month ago
  7. 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]
  8. 4.1 kg on digital scale. Lighter than both my stingray 4s
  9. Just picked up a 8.5lb stingray 5. Will add photos shortly plus my two stingray 4s for good measure
  10. Hi, any ideas how much a lightweight stingray 5 should weigh compared to the norm ? Thx
  11. Yep, try "just around the corner" from Herbie Hancock. Classic slap bass track
  12. Hi, where are you based ? Thx
  13. Johnny Hammond - Gears Every track a winner Played it today on vinyl
  14. And the great Dennis Chambers on drums
  15. Hi, where are you based ? How much does it weigh ? Thx
  16. Hi, how much does it weigh ? Thx
  17. Holiday w/e bumpage
  18. New Photos added
  19. 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.
  20. 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]
  21. 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
  22. Dude, where are you based ?
  23. Dude.....one word "don't". My 1978 is a keeper
  24. 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.
  25. Message to mods : can this thread get pinned ?
