tylerlangan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hi all. I've been the proud owner of one of these for a fair while now, a black one with the active preamp =) And like I've been really astounded with it, loved its hi-fi tone and the bright and snappy sound of it with fresh light guage strings just sounds beyond cool for slap and all the rest =D I think I paid around £570 for mine new from a friends music store, which for an American made bass surely can't be too bad? I was just sort of wondering how different these are from Stingrays? I think they're made of poplar as apposed to (whatever stingrays are made of) but do they use different electronics/pickups? Does anyone else on the forums own one, if so I'd love to hear what you think of them and also whether you think it'd ever be worth upgrading to a normal stingray? (p.s do stingray scratchplates fit as a direct replacement for the metal grate ones supplied with them?) Cheeeeeeeeeers. Ty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Can't answer all these - never owned a Sub. But IIRC: 1. I think the woods are the same (non trans finishes could be Poplar, Alder or even Ash) on both 2. The Ray has a profile where the arm rests i.e. not slab body 3. Think on the active the sub is the 2EQ like the 2 EQ Ray. Soundwise I did find a little difference to my old (now gone) 2EQ Ray when I had a noodle in a shop but not £400 worth.......however if you're gassing for a Ray nothing else will do.
