stingrayPete1977

Who is this him you are talking about? This thread is about a hot japanese chick isn't it?

Luckily I'm already put off by the products they produce, personally I have never been a fan boi for a particular brand and if anything I like to point out the flaws to anyone that has an interest in Rays rather than them spend money on a bass that can be heavy with a clubby neck for example, best bet is to go for a pre eb and avoid the ebmm site imo. I have found Ric fans and ebmm fans to be the worst followed by ashdown regarding amps! Wooly tat

My name is Peter I have an addiction to pre eb rays, there I said it

Anyway I'm not going to be buying or selling anything for ages now, well maybe my jazz that's for sale and I might get a classic ray5, and a fishman pro eq if one crops up on here........

Just been for a read and see there is a £7 one off listing option, bit of a shame that only 4% of people had donated and spoilt it for people like me that gave a sensible donation depending on the sale price. I have not sold much stuff but I have put in enough to cover a unlimited listings membership although I will have to pay that again to list anymore stuff I guess?

I missed it too but I always made a donation for each item sold, so no one will list one off items for say £100 or less unless they think they have more to sell later?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1364081167' post='2021839'] You mean you prefer these? I'm also liking those GWB tuners. [/quote] Very good

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1363699836' post='2016025'] Probably plays better than a real one... [/quote] OOOoooooshhh!

None of the above

Blimey not seen Jim Tavare for years!

Not read all the thread Mel but has anyone suggested a 5 string SGC Nanyo Bass Collection? Nice P tones and J tones from the PJ setup Very light and very comfortable with a smallish body but not to the extremes of the Hohner etc Good preamp overcomes the small body to give the tones of a much heavier bass Build quality Fender can only dream of (contentious but true I am affraid). In some cases what were £1000 basses can be had for less than £200 but I'd pay upto £350 for a nice fiver. If you switched to five strings you could play off the E on the B string to save reaching up beyond the 5th fret so I would seriously look into it, a perfect example of why 5 strings are not all about extra notes Even if you dont want a 5 a BC is well worth hunting down, a sort of Ibanez soundgear/ yamaha but better finish etc

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1329851383' post='1548574'] Wow, that looks like it was designed by someone who has had a Stingray described to them down the phone, but had never actually seen one... [/quote] I can see a lot of Sabre in there, I thought that head stock was copywrited to musicman too?

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1363979878' post='2020568'] Heathen ;-) [/quote] I know, its not just the Ray connections I feel drawn to modulus in their own right but not got any love for a status

I think everyone here is a w***er, me included

Funnily I would like a modulus but status do nothing for me at all.

Like!

Very odd was there a bun fight I wonder?

?

I think people compare the wrong things and it starts the bad name thing from there, I am looking at bikes and quite rightly my mate has told me which brands are best etc, He will tell me that a Trek is better than a Halfords Carrera but mostly that is because he is comparing a £300 Carrera to a £500 Trek, from what I can see if you spend a bit more on the lesser brand you get a better bike so a £500 Carrera is actually probably a better bike than the Trek for the same money. In our bass world what I am saying is people have a perfectly good Behringer amp that is as good as its rivals sometimes better then upgrade to something like a nice Mark bass combo or full rig and harp on about how good Markbass are compared to Behringer! Same with basses pedals etc etc I am still to better an EBMM Ray through an old Peavey TNT combo, even my Genz Shuttlemax 9.2 does not sound as good its just a lot louder!

Not sure? Hopefully get a bit more time with it on Sunday and report back.

Calling Doddy! Oh wait he is at sea........
