Dr.Dave Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hard to think of a sound you couldn't make or a gig you couldn't play with that lot. Nice - partic. liking the fretless 'ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice - partic. liking the fretless 'ray[/quote] True enough, DD. The 'Ray5 and the Jazz probably come out with me on most gigs plus a fretless on occasion. That said I'll try and do a rotation to include the Tune and Westone's when I can. They only start sulking otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phsycoandy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Not a huge MM fan especially 5 strings, but this one looks lovely with the bit of mojo going on, looks well played and better for it IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi 2 kenobi Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The MM5 looks ace. Love the Westones. Always wanted to get a Thunder III when I first started playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She plays great! The dark patch on the back has grown and deepened with years of gigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range of tones is amazing, especially when active; from ball-busting-bass to the thinnest, whiniest treble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Another vote for that pair of Westone's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks for all the comments guys. Yeh, Josh3184, the Tune is vaguely similar to the Alembic, the upper horn side moreso. I've had the fretless Westone since the mid 80's. I also had the fretted version too but I sold that in the mid-90's to fund the StingRay5. I always wanted another Westone and I was more than pleased to have recently found one of exactly the same type on Ebay. A nice pair indeed!
