stingrayPete1977 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Little pub gig tonight, minimum kit required so eub instead of DB, 1x12 cab, only one mackie pa cab as a monitor, one led par light and no stands for anything. As I'm not taking a spare elec bass and my Jazz is still the new toy it will be 3 in a row, I took a Ray to the last two gigs as they were function band gigs with no upright bass but I didnt use them! New username time, JazzPete1977? lol Quote
LukeFRC Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 are you soon going to be one of those people who pop up in every thread suggesting the answer to every problem is a Jazz bass and that Leo got it right [s]first[/s] third time? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Yep, Stingrays are unplayable junk, weak G strings, dirty raw unfinished maple necks, one trick pony and even then only a good trick if you are Bernard Edwards in the first place, Quote

I don't actually have a Jazz at the moment but I'll nip out and buy one Quote
lojo Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 This thread pretty much sums up basschat I'm glad your happy and bold with , keep it up Quote

mcnach Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 3rd gig in a row without a Stingray? Well, I have played my last 5-6 not just without a Stingray but... with a PRECISION!!! I know, crazy, eh? Quote
drTStingray Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Crikey - have the men in White coats released you guys yet? Come to think if it today's and my last couple of gigs involved no Stingray .............. but they did involve a SABRE - so I must still be ok!!! Quote
Damonjames Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I still miss my USA SUB, I sold it to buy a spector euro and I've been left wanting since. I'm hoping it's just because it has an EMG preamp, once I get the tonepump back I to it I think ill be happy! Quote
brucew Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 33 years gigging (that's scary in itself) . . ALL with pre E.B. stingray's, does that make me small minded ? . . anyhow, Pete, if you just need someone to talk to, get in touch, it's better if you share your problems . . ! Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 Pre EB Stingrays are still my favourite basses, no doubt about it, you stay as you are brucew you chose well 33 years ago Quote
