Stingray with flats played with a plectrum?

[Greggo]

Anyone know of any songs or clips of the above? I'm thinking it would be quite an interesting sound but not been able to find anything particularly on you tube?

Nick of "Nick's guitars" uses that combination in a country band I think? Might be worth looking down that avenue.

If you go to Ed Friedland's You Tube Bass Whisperer channel , he does a review of the Stingray Classic ( May 2010) with flats on it and plays it with a pick at one point.

Cool would be interested to hear - is it on yt?

Ah yes I've found that will have a proper listen in head phones, cheers.

Still Gassing for a Stingray Greggo??

Check out Curve - Chinese Burn. Cant do a youtube link but's definetely on there.That's the set up the bassist used,albeit through an overdrive pedal.

You'd get a 60s clicky sound, it's wonderful. I use a P bass but like to play both finger style & with a pick depending on the song. Go for it, you won't be dissapointed. Plus if flats don't work out for you they are easy enough to sell on.

Comes and goes. I've got my 'ray copy to sound as close to a ray as it will funds allowing with its clone preamp, and it just cuts through so much better in my band situation than my summer acquisition (4 string Yamaha BB414). But thinking it would sound a bit sweeter with flats, but no reference as to what it may sound like.

I've always thought that sounded a bit like Herbie Flowers' playing. Although he (obviously) plays a J, sometimes it sounds a bit 'Ray-like to my ears...

Flats sound excellent with a fuzz box too.

[Owen]

Bernard Edwards played many basses, but there was a Stingray in the mix with flats and he kind of used his index finger like a plectrum. Or am I wrong? it would not be for the first time today.

That TOTP video made me chuckle - the bass player clearly has a time machine and nows exactly how a 2013 scruffy-pub-club-muso should dress. Amazing..or have current fashions gone that retro?
