    Given that a Sterling Ray 34 is £900 now, a budget EBMM Stingray is likely to be £1200+ so still not exactly cheap. Ive had a couple Sterling Ray 34's and 35's and they are really good. Used EBMM Stingrays on Reverb vary from £1265 - £4069. It looks like a budget of £1800 gets you a decent choice.

    Paul bought some strings from me and the whole transaction from start to finish couldn’t have been any easier. Super fast payment and great communications!

    This will likely be going to Bassdirect soon so last chance

    It's a thing of beauty. I was wondering how the balance is with a 5 string neck on a Tele shaped body?

    Nik bought a little H&K DI box from me and as anticipated, made the whole transaction easy and friendly. Great communications and he kindly let me know when he had the item. Thanks Nik!

    The Special range is definitely more consistent, and the build quality is excellent, but to me they've somehow engineered out the soul of the instrument, and they don't sound anything like the original pre-EB Stingrays. But then what does??

    Rick bought my Fender Precision and was an absolute joy to deal with. Friendly communications and the fastest payment I have ever received! I would be more than happy if he wanted to buy anything else from me in the future!

    I remember listing my USA Ray on here for about £500 a decade ago. Not a single bit of interest... Thank goodness... Would have seriously regretted letting it go, especially for pennies. I paid £750 for it with hardcase etc in 2011, great price for a USA ray.

    Talk about things moving and changing rapidly... I started to learn to play euphonium in October. Initially, the tuition was with the beginners' group with the training band. It is significantly harder work and slower to learn than sax or cello. My big advantage is I already read music and I'm an experienced musician so I don't have most of the issues that add extra challenges to beginners. I started private lessons as well just before Christmas - had about four now - which helps a lot. I'm now playing with the training band, not the beginners' group - I'm the only one that's been asked to move across (some of that is I've been more consistent in attending...). There are notes I can't play as they're beyond my current range. I either read down an octave, or omit them. A couple of weeks ago, the MD messages me 3 hours before rehearsal and says: can you take the rehearsal tonight and conduct it? I have stood in before in various groups and I did do a conducting component at summer school last year. Then I get asked would I consider taking on the conducting post at another band in the area? So, some long phone calls, a visit from the band leader and a long chat, I go to the band's rehearsal last Wednesday and now it seems I'm the conductor of the band in Appleby... I've spent this week trying to find videos (with correct arrangements) of their current list of pieces - not entirely successfully - and I've been marking up scores. Good job I'd already signed-up to the conducting part of the this year's summer school...

    What can I say about this pedal that hasn't already been said? Super cool and unique filter used by Flea and lots of other people. No other filter I've come across sounds quite like this little green beast, and it also does the famous "dub trick" of turning your bass into a subby monster by turning off the sensitivity so the filter doesn't open. It's been well used in it's ~30 year lifetime with a few bumps and scrapes in the finish, but all is working as it should. Somehow the notoriously "difficult to keep hold of" battery door is still intact on this one! No velcro, and rear sticker with serial number still intact also. Really cool pedal that I owned a number of years ago, and wanted to revisit it out of nostalgia! I've had my fun with it here at home, and now it's time to pass it on. Boss to 3.5mm power adaptor included. Looking for exactly what I paid for it from here a few weeks ago: £60. Add a £5er for delivery, or can be picked up from Ickenham NW London.

    Exactly what a 60’s bass should look like 👍

    Hi all, I bought this on here in July 2024 to use on an upcoming tour, then decided on two separate signal chains (upright and electric) instead of using this as an A/B box. It has sat in a drawer in its pouch ever since, so is immaculate, and has probably only had a few hours use by me. It’s essentially the same pedal as the Basswitch DI (more well known to us electric bassists) but with a couple different features, namely a notch filter, and the ability to mix both inputs (for those using mic and pickup on their upright). It’s mainly aimed at upright players, hence the name and variation from the Basswitch, but it’s a lovely and very capable electric bass preamp, and has 2 effects loops, and a DI out. A real swiss army knife utility pedal. Perfect for running 2 instruments into a common signal chain and sending a single DI out. Comes with velcro attached (can take off if needed), it’s detachable rubber feet, and its protective pouch. Looking for what I paid for it - £150 + postage, or can be picked up from UB10, London.

    I'd say higher for the Stingray Specials, as they seemed to correct the 40 year old 'weak G' problem. I believe those instruments from 2018 onwards to be far superior.

    It very much depends on what vintage you’re looking for @Supernaut. To some degree the spec is also a factor. H, HS, HH, Piezo, SLO, Ltd Ed etc

    I've been using the La Bella IAH version of the Super Polished on my Lionel and they are very nearly perfect but I'd like just a smidge more tension for the short scale. So I've ordered some of the original Super Polished as the tensions are a little higher. I've no doubt their tension would be too much for me on 34 scale (the IAH are pushing it) but hopefully this will work! With a bit of luck the strings will arrive before the weekend.

    It doesn't seem so long ago that £800 was the going rate for a pukka full fat USA Stingray and you could pick one up on BC most weeks... I said 'seems'! I'd be surprised if there are many around as cheap as £1200 and I'd expect a regular/non-special to be closer to £1500.
