What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?
Bagman replied to Supernaut's topic in General Discussion
I've not played a Stingray that was not well constructed the weak G syndrome however I have never experienced it I've got an 2EQ SUB USA Slab 5 , it went straight to the luthier - now it's magic , wasn't poorly made, just poorly looked after by the previous owner I'm well keen on an unlined Fretless 5 now however the numbers made will be scarce -
That's interesting to know and weird as I owned the MS-70 CDR forever (had 2 until recently) and downloaded their latest/last firmware update which gave me more fx from the other units in the range including some bass effects, but I still wasn't happy with it. I wonder if there's something different in the MS-60B. Today I watched the Octaver shoot-out on Scott's Bass Lessons that Scott and Ian did, and also the one that Janek Gwizdala did, and I'm going to experiment more with the HX Stomp as that seems to be closer to what I like but as that unit resides on my guitar pedalboard, I think I still need to find a standalone one. Cheers folks for the suggestions so far

Yep, very interested to hear some real life opinions on these
-
The octaver on my line 6 M5 is surprisingly good for a unit that’s 16 years old!
-
Sub’n’Up mini. Very good condition - does have Velcro on the bass. Boxed. £50 plus postage -
Just checked my topic history (I sold it separately some years ago) and it appears to have been a Hipshot HE6C - 3/8".
-
That’s a very interesting thing! -
Unfortunately it fits perfectly, therefore I'll have to give this one a miss. -

I messaged Labella about Super Polished shorties and they pointed me in the direction of their ‘Stang super polished’ no idea whether they’re suitable as most are through body… I also messaged Ian Martin Allison and asked if it was likely they would release his IMA super polished strings for SS and he said that they’ll be coming this year. -
I have both the 74s and older AV75s in a couple of basses. Both are great. I get better string to string balance on the 75s but big caveat is that I haven't had time to adjust the 74s on what is fairly a new arrival, so perhaps that will change when I do. I'd definitely go for a 70s-type pickup for a 70s bass. That said, I'd also consider something like the Ultrajazz.

Sold a couple of bows to Antonio and it was a quick, easy transaction

I was never impressed with the older Zoom units either (the same B1Xon and B3 you mentioned funnily enough), but the one in the MS-60B+ sounds every bit as good as I remember my Octabvre Mini sounding (shame I no longer have it to A/B them) and better than my Markbass octaver (which is pretty dang close to the OC-2).

Hi, They are the originals as far as I know. -
Mine is the CQ20B which for good or ill has an inbuilt PSU. But I'd be disappointed if A&H don't offer any support for your case, key thing is usually to try and speak to someone directly rather than end up in the email void.

A small but powerful modular system I put together based around a Moog Mother 32 synth and sequencer. I added a Doepfer LFO A145 for increased modulation possibilities. I also added an Erica PICO DSP for onboard effects such as delays, chorus and reverb. There is a Doepfer mixer A138 and Behringer CP1A power supply. The modules are housed in an official Moog 104 HP case with some rack space left for more modules. The unit is unboxed and comes with mains adapter, patch leads as pictured. There is no midi lead included. The units are in very good condition and the Moog unit was recently serviced. The case has a cosmetic scratch at the front as pictured. I can include some extra rack screws. It’s compact but quite heavy as there is a lot packed into a small space! It is a great introduction to modular with plenty of patch options for experimentation. The Mother 32 has an onboard sequencer and small rubber ‘keys’ so it can be used standalone using headphones or an amp. It can be triggered by external midi or cv controllers. Selling as a complete unit. Pickup preferred but I can post UK only at buyer’s cost. It’s worth looking at reviews of each module to get a better perspective of what they can do. I’ll list on here to see if there is any interest before trying the usual….. Now reduced-

Moog Minitaur Bass Synth Module This is the up to date v 2.2 edition, comes complete with box, PSU and manuals. Lovely two oscillator synth specifically voiced for bass but can produce lead sounds too. The ladder filter is classic Moog with weight and width to the oscillators. It is a US made synth - Moog has since changed ownership and now mainly manufactured in the far east. The Minitaur is well constructed in a pressed steel case with nice positive action on all buttons and knobs. It is based on the classic Moog Taurus bass pedals of the 70’s as used by Rush, Genesis, Yes and more. All works as it ought to with plenty of control via the front panel, also presets and the ability to hook up to a computer and fine tweak sounds via free Moog software. The module is in excellent condition albeit with some cosmetic ‘rack rash’ on the sides of the unit. UK only, I’d prefer pick up in person but can post at buyer’s expense.-

Yes I was playing in that era and that was my experience as well - the Stingray was in a different league playability and sound wise. However price wise, my Stingray was £375 new (not including case) in about 1981 (it was sunburst, maple board, through body stringing with a 4 bolt neck plate - not unheard of but quite rare) - at the time a new Jazz was about £350 and a Precision about £320. So not much more expensive. Unfortunately sold it to pay a bill in about 1986 I think - I got £450 for it from the first person who came to see it!! They drove 100 miles!! The Musicman QC was good right from the start. -

Happy 2026 to you Danny. I’ve been slowly getting back in to studying after the winter colds/flus/covid worked their way through everyone in my house since the start of December - sadly no joke! I hope all is going good for you.
