thepurpleblob Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Not sure if this bass has featured before as it came out of a trade with another BC member. Anyway, 1996 StingRay 5... in beige [attachment=45481:Full_Bass_Front.jpg] [attachment=45482:Body_Front_Close.jpg] Edited March 24, 2010 by thepurpleblob Quote
warwickhunt Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 It's been a LONG time since I've had a Ray but it had to be done. I'm really surprised at how much more than a one trick pony it can be, especially with flats on. My past experiences with Rays left me cold as I just couldn't seem to get away from that aggressive upfront tone, wonder if it's me, the strings or the bass that has changed (3 band rather than my old 2 band, though I've not been tweaking the EQ much on the bass)? I do have to confess I was holding out for a 2005 'Buttercream' Sterling or a really tasty sunburst Sterling but as this was local I went for it... now has anyone got a Sterling to trade? 1 Quote

Shockwave Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Ahh but now its the question, do i get a purple mirror scratchplate for it? (Or anodised gold) Quote
harvey1-8 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I'm liking the black on that, but it's your call. Quote

budget bassist Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Phwoar, very tasty, did you not have a sterling in that finish as well at one point? Also, don't go anodised gold, i don't think it will go right, and it will look pretty tacky. Pearloid would look nice though i think. Quote

martthebass Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Very very very pretty CDD. I would love to be posting a picture of the nice black piezo fretless Ray I DIDNT win from ebay lastnight Quote

dub_junkie Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 that trans purple is a great looking SR5. anodised gold would work (I think) but +1 on pearloid just to be safe Quote
