Highfox Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Feeling happy Been a while since a NBD for me, but traded an old P I wasn't using much for a natural 77 Stingray. It's a bit beaten up but plus nice. Pics to follow tomorrow. 1 Quote

kyuuga Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Damn that looks crispy clean for a '77 bass! Congratulations. Quote
AndyTravis Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 I’m sort of back in the camp too - Modulus Flea/FU. Although I’m still looking at that 1990’s blueburst on here thinking i should definitely have it. Quote

Cuzzie Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 @mcnach Seriously I don’t need egging on (!) and keep looking at the Stingray specials from their new line. I remember trying out their range At the London Bass Guitar show a few years ago and was underwhelmed massively having almost been a dead very for a Caprice and Cutlass - fast forward now - and it’s hard, very hard to resist. Anout the only thing stopping me (money aside which is a big stumbling block!) is being able to just about approximately get the ‘Ray’ sound with what I have and preamps etc. But please keep poking the bear!!

Expand The new line seems very nice. I have never played one yet (I'm afraid to! ) but as far as I can tell, it's still got the Stingray DNA despite the changes in the electronics, and a lightweight Stingray is very appealing (in addition, some of the new finishes are so preeetteeeeeee). 1 Quote
Cuzzie Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Let’s both get one, then we are as bad as each other. Simples Quote
grayn Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I have a new Special and can highly recommend you fellas get one too. Mind you, I still love my 2014 Stingray. 1 Quote

B.Flat Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I don't know if this is relevant to the thread but can anyone tell me if the neck profile of the 'Ray has changed with time ? I ask because my '77 ( purchased in 77) was stolen in 2004,, and now fifteen years, and several instruments, later I have bought a '91. which I like very much but I don't know if my memory is not accurate any more, or my old hands are not as nimble, but it does not exactly feel like the neck from heaven I remember ! To my mind it feels a little fatter from nut to about fret four. OK splitting hairs I know, but I would like to know if the old skunk stripe profile was as I think I remember it. Quote
danny-79 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 That’s a beaut. Congratulations nice score 😜 1 Quote
