Pinball Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Some combinations just don't work that well in the signal chain. I was really happy with sound from my ESP/Spoector, EMG powered guitars with my Ashdown rigg but not with my current Genz Benz kit. The Ashdown seemed to color the sound in a positive way, where as the GB is very transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 When i had my SR5 i used it through a TE stack 12 band 300W head in to 2x10+H + 1x15. It had a sound capable to move mountains but it also could be a bit muddy in the lows if i boosted them just a bit. In the end i let go of this setup and moved to other kit that had my sound straight out of the box. It was one of the prettiest and better built basses i've owned and it pains me to have let it go but in the end of the day i know it would just sit pretty on the wall hanger most of the times. Here's the rig: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn1989 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ive tried Markbass and Barefaced but ended up choosing EBS and I haven looked back loved the warm vintage tone that compliments the Stingray tone perfectly IMO [URL=http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/mikeoranage/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2FD7E2D2-02CF-49F0-9590-E8F14EE614D1_zpsv0koueyi.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/mikeoranage/Mobile%20Uploads/2FD7E2D2-02CF-49F0-9590-E8F14EE614D1_zpsv0koueyi.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not thought of EBS. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I used a Stingray with a Gallien Krueger MB Fusion and it was a pretty good pairing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenjames Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have a 2EQ StingRay with d'Addario flats. I use a Markbass Micromark 801 for practice at home and a CMD121P+NY121P rig for gigs It sounds awesome. I usually set VLE to about 11 o'clock, with the bass controls set to bass 100% and treble 0%-25% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Surely Leo Fender, and now Sterling Ball would want to use a Music Man bass amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matski Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I've owned a StingRay for the past 30 years and have run it through various amps over that time: Trace Elliot GP12 combo with 4x10 speakers Ampeg SVT Classic with 8x10 cab Ampeg SVT200 with 8x10 cab Ampeg SVT3 with 4x10 and 1x15 cabs Genz Benz Streamliner 900 with Genz Benz NX212T cab The only amp setup that I didn't get on with was the Trace Elliot as I found it too sterile and clangy sounding, but the Genz Benz rig really seems to suit the StingRay (or vice versa).

Bolo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1484739218' post='3217897'] If you value mids, avoid Eden and SWR. [/quote] Absolutely wrong. Have been using SWR workingpro700 and 750x for the past 5 years with my Sr5 exclusively and the miss are strong and focused. Both have ample controls to boost or cut the the frequencies you might want thanks to their parametric pots. Really weird you should write something like this as the opposite is true.
