budget bassist Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Supposedly the best stingray ever made, as claimed by sterling ball and most of the ernie ball forum, go and enquire there, you'll get a much better response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I had one not all that long ago - it was certainly nice and had a unique sort of tone, but still very much a stingray. To be honest I think in a live situation all those nuances would be lost on most ears though. They tend to weigh in a little heavier than the average as well, plus you have to bear in mind that they are string-thru bridge only as well (may be a factor depending on what strings you intend to use). On the other hand though if you dont already own another sort of stingray and you can get a good deal on one, go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 That l'il ol' shop in Denmark Street has one smack dab in the middle of their window. Lovely looking bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think if you like Stingrays, you'll love this one. I've had about 7 but this one was the best. It had growl coming out of the wazoo due to the mahogany body on an already growly bass. Its been about a year since i sold mine but I'm pretty sure you could string it both ways, although i could be wrong. IMO [i]the[/i] best finish of any Stingray. the deep translucent red was so beautiful with matching neck and headstock. Totally stunning. Also came with matching Musicman G&G hardcase that was almost as stunning as the bass. Sold it because I wanted to go back to passive basses and the whole reason my gold warmoth has a mahogany body. Definitely head over to the EB forum. There's so much information on there and links to external stuff with all the rare and limited edition basses as well.

They seemed very 'jaded' but were alright with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombboy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Sold mine to a fellow BC'er about five months ago, purely because I was too scared to take it out of the house and it wasn't getting played like it should have been. Beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL instrument. Sterling is correct... the BEST Stingray EVER made. So much punch, growl, wonderful highs and earth shattering lows. Asthetically, it was a dream to look at too. Angryman will back this up... he's had a dabble on it too. Like many of my basses, I wish I'd never let it go now..... ho hum!
