Hi All, Please have a listen to my new tune. All done at home using pro tools SE, stingray bass etc.. Please give feedback good all bad, it all helps in producing a better tune. [url="https://soundcloud.com/thewrongwayback/itching"]https://soundcloud.c...wayback/itching[/url] Cheers Big Rob

I would really struggle to manage with a 4mm string height, must be really annoying, have you set the relief in the neck correctly using measurement? I had a very high action on my stingray and manage to get it down to just over 2mm using this method: 1: Hold down 1st fret with a capo (or wife or child like i used) and the last fret. 2: Measure the gap between the E string and the 8th fret. 3: I had no gap so had to raise it by turning the truss rod wheel to the left 1/4 of a turn. 4: Measured gap again with feeler gauge at 8th fret trying to get a 0.3mm gap, gap was 0.3 (luck). 5: String height seemed and felt high to me at 2.4mm (the suggested height by most videos on you tube). 6: Adjusted the saddles so the strings were 2mm from the fret-board at the 12th fret.

Cheap as chips and has side LED's!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Left-Left-Handed-Lefty-Status-S2-Fretless-Bass-/121595020260?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c4fa0c3e4

Hi All, Update, well we spent the most useful 5 mins in the last 8 years last night. Drums played and i got a nice volume over the drums, then we added the guitarists and cut there bass controls and there middle down a bit and then turned them up so they and everyone else could here them. Then had to add a little volume to the bass and turned the treble and the mids up on the stingray just a touch. This resulted in one of the most enjoyable band practices we have ever had, last week my RH450 was on 4.5 with a rs212 and rs210, this week 2.5 and we could all hear everything and all were happy. Moral of the story, turn it down, respect each others spectrum and don't start a frequency or volume war. Thanks all for the advice on the subject and obviously a common issue for us low end heros. Cheers Rob

Hi All, Come along and enjoy a night in a friendly music venue. We will be performing a set of our own tunes and be supported by some great Oxford bands. Would be great to see any if you there and please say hello to me if you do come along. Cheers Rob

Hi All , Sorry i think i put this in the wrong area of the site so have put it here also. [color=#282828] Hi All, Little funk made at the weekend with my new second hand Musicman Stingray HH (4 string, only way for me).

Thanks again all, I have been playing for a long time and have a few basses and have found my Bill Nash PB57 with added jazz in the bridge does cut well in the mix, however that said i have the HH stingray and can spilt the coils to a jazz configuration and this still at this time is not cutting through. I really think it's a volume down 15 minute chat that will get rid of the issue, i use no effects other than i little compression and with the advice here we should be sounding great once more soon. Some nights its spot on with just plugging in and go so we all need to work together. Cheers again all Rob

Pete i have the 3 eq stingray HH, any advice on how to eq this bad boy. Iain my rig is much larger than there silly combos also but i also want to retain my hearing for a little longer :-). I really am so glad that others are struggling with this. You try these things at home and they sound so wrong, but i suppose its taking the time to make it right in the mix that counts, otherwise gigs will get boring with just me in my front room and a little squashed. Thanks again all Rob

Will update next week on the outcome, turn down tune in and play is my plan hope it works. Also one of the guitar players is leaving and i think that will help lol :-)
