Well the strings are on their way, woosh!

I always like ebmm strings on an ebmm to be honest, I use them on my other basses anyway failing that I'll use anything that is free! I used elites four many years and still like them now as a cheaper option sometimes. Enjoy the new bass mate

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1423225530' post='2682406'] I did know that. But what's with the cleaning thing? [/quote] I prefer the DK Marlowe "shlappa dah shiit out of them" technique!

I was just making the point that the 5 has the same options as the Sterling, even a ceramic pickup the same if you choose the right year, so not way more options. Classic5 is tasty if you like 4 string Rays but enjoy a B string though

I have a mag pickup on my double bass and no matter what the 'experts' tell us about mag pickups making it sound like a big P bass it just doesn't, OK it is not going to sound like a mic'd DB but the scale length, body chamber and all that wood makes it sound nowt like a P bass! I always think what a 50s hollow electric guitar sounds like compared to a solid Les Paul even if you fit the same pickups in the same spot etc the hollow one sounds nothing like a solid one does it? So on a smaller scale (excuse the pun) all these thing will alter the tone of a bass or guitar or even a DB when amplified. It has been said that a length of wood with a MM humbucker in the sweet spot with strings wrapped over it at 34" scale and the MM preamp inline sounds 100% Stingray, I might just try it one day and see

Loving the Taxi theme and graphics, awesome

[quote name='inate_hex' timestamp='1423185291' post='2682090'] I just picked up a Sterling H at the weekend. It's a superb bass. The pickup switch is pure magic. [b]Way more options than a ray[/b]. It's the lightest bass ive owned and it is a joy to play. Good look with the gas ;-) [/quote] Not if you play a 5 string one

Not when I'm holding it! Me krinkle video Sarah, bonkers or what?!

Big sunburst? [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150105_201850_zps9am97dvx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-01/20150105_201850_zps9am97dvx.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

US std Jazz V and Stingray Classic5, the Ray is technically tobacco burst if we are being pedantic [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/20141102_103604_zpseb6n54ip.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-11/20141102_103604_zpseb6n54ip.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1423148655' post='2681434'] Wrong, it sounds FABULOUS! [/quote] +2 what an awesome sight it was too.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1423169776' post='2681820'] I never have either, nor will I ever. I hate that f***ing song so much, I don't care how good the bass line is. [/quote] Go and sit on the basschat naughty step for 5 minutes!

"My name is Pete, I've never properly tried to learn rhythm stick" there I've said it, I shall give it a go soon I promise. Master Blaster note for note can only be done by Nate Watts, I've cobbled a version together and I've seen hundreds of versions and none compare to the big man imo.

I'm taking a set of rotosounds off my Jazz V that were fitted in december as I'm not really a roto fan, I can post them to you at the weekend if you want them to play around with?, they are a full set of the 66s, Drop me a mail address via pm and they are yours, gratis inc posting, can't say fairer than that, lol.

I've gone from 3 months to 6 months and now probably a year with a battery swap at the same time. I use whatever my pro mate gives me that he gets off his bass tech mate, dean markleys currently, lol

A misery stick mega test meet up Sarah?

Just plug in and fire it up?

Looks awesome now!

I went to a gig at the MEN a few years ago, the speakers were 10s maybe 12s yet I think they would demolish a Barefaced with 15s or even a pair of 18s, there was probably 150 drivers!

They really suit Dougie dont they, I like him and his basses

2 EQ Rays sound epic

I like it!

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1423075385' post='2680419'] With regards gear, if we took the lead from PRO players we'd all be miming with P basses pretending to use Ashdown rigs or when not miming clearly be using in ears :/ [/quote] Fixed?

I've just read the thread and I think his post was a bit snotty then 5imon's "nonsense......." reply hit the destruct button on both sides and there was no way back? No one even asked him if he used a music stand on the Paula Abdul gigs?!
