Duarte Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Music Man have released the SLO Special StingRay. It is the same as a normal stingray, except with the thinner jazz-style neck. It is at no extra cost and is available to order now! Just thought I would let those who want to know, know! Quote
KERMITNT Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 nice one but i dont like jazz neck at all i think i am the only one Quote
alanbass1 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 But having the choice is a great thing Quote
Dread Bass Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Thats a pretty cool idea. I don't remember the Neck on my stingray being that big tho. Quote
Quatschmacher Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Just discovered this fact yesterday while looking at something else. It is great news. Wish the option had been around when I bought my first Stingray (took it back to the shop) and again when I ended up buying my Sterling a few years back (because I liked the neck, though preferred the Stingray for tone and body shape).

CHRISDABASS Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Thats fantastic news!! I just wish they'd let you order one where the pole pieces on the pickups and the string spacing matched!! i just couldn't get on with the two stingrays i had because of that issue! surely it cant be hard for them to modify? (rant over) Big +1 for skinny necked Rays! Quote
ashevans09 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 That's great news, moved on my Stingray because of the neck. Loved the tone though. How mad did this make the purists on the MM forums I wonder? Quote

I didn't know bassists were allowed to use anything other than the E string? Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) As far as I know, the only way to keep a guitard quiet is to ram the offending article up the player's a***! It goes to show how variable even the Stingray necks are - I think of mine as really thin like a jazz, but I have played some that are profiled like 50's Precisions.

I have two at the moment. ONe is thin and flat and the other is round and more like a precision. Quote
Higgie Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 My 89 Fretless is really thin front to back and feels more like a Jazz where as the 06 fretted is the more typical MM shape. Both absolutely gorgeous and a joy to play! Quote
