drTStingray Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) These are very interesting comparisons - for my money the Flea Active is more vintage Stingray sounding whilst the Stingray Special and Modulus Flea have more bite and clarity. Not a weak sounding string in sight though 😂👍 https://youtu.be/J5u9H_FMfC8 https://youtu.be/vEC8yN1DE8s Edited August 21, 2020 by drTStingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I was quite surprised how similar these sound. I wonder if the Stingray would sound closer to the Fender if it had a maple board (the Fender's electronics are largely a 2 band Stingray copy using proprietary parts afaik). I suspect they'd sound more differentiated in a live setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Those new stingray specials do sound great though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDaBass Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Anyone know what PUPs are used on the Fender Flea and the Modulus Flea. Really liked what the Fender Flea could do, sounded great to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenders own pick up through an Aguilar OBP-1 in the Fender Flea guitar guitar have an ex demo fender flea for £1249, seems like a good deal T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebadon2000 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 On Slap and Tap Stingray seems to stand out as more dynamic and sound I would be looking for if playing that style. Finger playing hard or soft they all sound eerily similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
