Stingray Special 5 H. I've been after one of these for quite some time, and have been hiding away a few pounds each week in readiness... When this 2018 one came up recently on FB, I took the plunge. Really like the dropped copper colour and (not original) antique perliod scratchplate. I have been tweaking a few things today to get her set to how I would like. I will take her to a gig on Saturday and she can have a run-out on a few numbers.

My USA Sterling, I picked this up from @Happypants  September 2022

 

IMG_3117.thumb.jpeg.a513b9cb9fd374663d2130f712664198.jpeg
 

was a long time search bass for me after I tried one in the early 90’s

I preferred the overall feel and tone to the stingray but at the time I was recording with a stingray and didn’t want to upset the apple cart.

Got the full works, string mutes, a beautiful Birdseye maple neck IMG_3123.thumb.jpeg.5e06569450c81167342352f9fba994c8.jpegand the ceramic pickup.

No matter what happens this is my fall back never sell bass.

Been absent for a little bit but have been playing a lot more.

Added another SUB a couple of years ago I picked up super cheap and that was my main gigging bass for a good while.

About two weeks ago I had the opportunity to grab one of the only 2 Darkrays in NZ. It has not disappointed!!

Probably the prettiest bass I’ve had, that neck is something else 😍 I’m glad she’s a keeper, was wasted on me!

Think this is my 12th musicman.

 

My first Sterling.

 

well worn, pearl blue 1999 faded to an almost ocean turquoise/bottle green.

 

Sounds and plays well enough to explain and justify the “road worn” state -

 

It’s cleaned up well - trying some new Hyper Slinkies (40-100) on it.

Noice.

Never understood why they aren’t more popular, maybe the naff name?

After many Rays I’m now down to just one EBMM and it’s a Sterling. I nearly sold it a while back, fortunately its lack of popularity meant it wasn’t pounced on quickly and I changed my mind.

Enjoy!

Only become a naff name after they decided to call their import range the same, crazy move. 😂

 

I love my Sterling, cracking neck and a wide array of tones with the dual humbucker set-up.

@AndyTraviswere you looking for a 5 string classic at one stage?

Shame the guy has priced it on the insane side.....

I’d love another classic - had a white one, superb instrument.

 

swapped it for a Status Kingbass with the much missed MB1😎 - loved the Kingbass but always missed the classic.

Kingbass sounds lush to be fair 😆

This is my old Bitsa Satterly/Carins/Wilson ‘Ray’.
I built it in 93 and sold it/bought it back 3 times. I’m interested in finding it again and buying it back and willing To pay a finders fee if it can be found in good condition. 

Sold it to RayFw who sold it to danlaw but they haven’t logged in since 2012.

 

Anyone know if it’s where abouts I’d be grateful for any leads. 
 

Thanks 

David

Theres one up on FB at minute £700.

I remember paying £1100 for my classic 4 on here. Ray prices are only going one way....

It depends.....there's a lot of unsold stuff.  I put my US Sterling up for sale a few months back at a good % under retail and still got 'very reduced' offers.  Fortunately it made me see sense and I kept it.
