stingrayPete1977

My upright still isn't loud enough without plugging the piezo in, I am getting a bit more volume now I'm trying to play with the side of my finger rather than the tips, probably best to not hear me anyway!

I have an Ozark, its good and I use a 1x10 cab with it for acoustic jams or into the pa if possible, no hollow sound at all and I think they are great for learning how to get different sounds, playing near the bridge can get quite a jazz bass esque sound for example. Very handy for practicing in the garden in the summer (both weeks of it in may).

I'd swerve the whole lot and buy a modulus funk5

I can't beleive there has been 18 pages of this sh*t!

After all my messing around I think I prefer my ceramic equipped SR5 now, the cheapest most messed with Ray I have owned is my go to bass now! Looking forward to pics of the new bass

[/quote] If you move the whole bridge forward you can use more of its intonation adjustment I think? The first Stingrays suffer from this and the bridge was moved forward soon after to solve it, even Leo made mistakes!

I'm intrigued too

Stands a good chance

Yes that's pre eb, no fret marker on the 21 st fret, Leo's trade mark. You can see the slab body too and the skunk stripe although some ebmm versions do have a stripe.

I have struggled to find any clips of him using his pre EB Ray on you tube, anyone got any links? He has Stingray-esque sounding fingers to me, lovely sort of attack in short bursts.

He does like to swap his gear about doesn't he! I have not seen him on a Ray5 did he ever use one? every clip of him these days he has some kind of modern 5er, I guess its artists like Nate that could of put Musicman/ebmm into the big time if they had of gone for endorsements earlier? A Flea sig 1991 black Ray4 would still be a collectable bass now if it had been made (and Sterling Ball must know it!) Nate Watts Sig Classic4/5 would of been cool too.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1364825463' post='2031292'] I love this clip. Mistakes and all..... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl-bVs1INtY"]https://www.youtube....h?v=hl-bVs1INtY[/url] [/quote] Looks like he could do it in his sleep, crazy Also another great reason for 5 strings clip.

I love them high notes, brilliant!

Pics of him playing it or he is a faker then!?

Do they make one in an adult size?

He might be new favourite you know, How does he make such small alterations to a line sound so different? Master blaster has 8 bars to the looped verse bass line, he only changes a pair of 8th notes to a triplet on the 3rd bar the second time round and it just works!

I would keep one of the 2x12s for sure

New finacial year brings with it new prices, old stock can probably be sold at the old price?

Just Nathan Watts, What more can you say? Jeez

If you ever find yourself up a creek you will be laughing!

Devour the site Lynottfan has linked mate The one I sold andytoad was a bargain, I doubt another one will come up for that money anytime soon it also sounded epic!

No one has ever learnt to play an instrument, we are all just at different points along the way to getter nearer, even the best players in the world will have a weakness somewhere. Interesting example in what Clarky said before is that I have found some jazzers or classic players might struggle to pull off a convincing Ramones style, that statement applies for all genres in all directions and only the very best players in the world could nail every style imo. Certainly not me that's for sure

Oooh I will check! I know it makes a nice noise when I brush it past the corner of or bed.

Ok let's leave it at that then, ps2
