[quote name='witterth' post='770602' date='Mar 10 2010, 04:34 PM']Forum member "linus27" is your man....I think he is (considering) of selling one. PM him, its a really lovley bass if he IS letting it go. plus you can hear it being played via his own you tube links. like others a have said, highly recommended these guitars, Ive got 2 at the moment and owned 4 in totall over the years.So good luck,cant see you regretting it really. ATB W p.s. proper gent to deal with too!![/quote] HEHEHE you are far to kind to me sir. However, you are correct in saying that yes, I will be selling my 3EQ Stingray in Natural once my teal green one arrives which should be anyday now. To the thread starter, my experience of Stingrays is very similar to what others have said. They are built to the highest quality and I have never had a dud one either. Personally I prefer the maple neck as to me, this is the Stingray look along with the single humbucker. However, nothing wrong at all with the rosewood neck. With regards to the weak G string, I also have never experienced this. However, what I have noticed is if you dial the mids out, it really does affect the volume of the D and G string. What I tend to do is leave the mids alone and boost the bass. Out To Play Jazz helped me with this and my Stingray tone has really improved. Something else I have noticed which ties in with what Alex Claber told me is a Stingray really benifits from a cab that can reproduce the low frequencies. The mids are very prominent on a Stingray and can swamp the tone if the lows are not coming through the cab. My Genz Benz cab was not so hot and kicking out the lows despite being a very clean tight cab. My new Aggy cabs have much better lows and my Stingray sounds awsome though it. Anyway, I don't want to influence you to much on buying my one which is for sale. However, please be aware that prices for Stingrays new have shot up. One shop was quoting me £1400 for a new one. Darren at Bass Merchant seems to have the best price so its worth talking to him if looking to buy new. Second hand prices have unfortunately risen also. I am not sure what I will put mine up for sale yet but if interested then drop me a PM. Here is a picture of the her. Good luck with what you decide to do. They are amazing instruments.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='770550' date='Mar 10 2010, 03:55 PM']So you find the model you want and then decide if you want it with 2 or 3 Band? Cheers. when's the new toy arriving? You really shouldn't even see it until the 9th June. Tell you wife she can store it at my house lol.[/quote] Yes, that is it exactly, 2EQ and 3EQ is pretty much same. What you really want though is a 3EQ in natural Toy might be here tomorrow I am half tempted to keep it locked away until my birthday but then thats 3 months away which will be a killer.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='770210' date='Mar 10 2010, 11:48 AM']Silly question but if i was looking for a 2 band ray are there specific models i could google for or do they do the same ones in 2 and 3 band? See, silly question.[/quote] Exactly the same Dave.

[quote name='alexharvay' post='770461' date='Mar 10 2010, 02:42 PM']Does this mean you won't be selling your '75 Jazz?[/quote] At the moment no. However, I might at a later date but no at this moment.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='769676' date='Mar 9 2010, 08:27 PM']June is when im of to Turkey with the family, and that s where all my money will have to go. Stupid holiday.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='769635' date='Mar 9 2010, 08:01 PM']Stop it . I would love your Ray but now isnt the right time. Cant wait for the PM.[/quote] HEHEHEHE with reference to whats in the PM, my birthdays not till June :)

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='769614' date='Mar 9 2010, 07:41 PM'] LOL[/quote] HEHE a PM explaing all will be on its way to you but if you are looking for a mint condition 3EQ Stingray in natural then I know one coming up for sale

Anyone know where the cheapest place is to buy a 2EQ Musicman Stingray? My usual store, Andertons has them at stupid prices at around £1500. GAK seems to be the cheapest so far at £1199. Anyone know anywhere else that might have them cheaper?

[quote name='Doddy' post='766609' date='Mar 7 2010, 03:02 AM']Warwick really have got the signature bass bug at the minute haven't they? They've just announced the new Robert Trujillo model Streamer. [url="http://bassplayer.com/article/warwick-robert-trujillo/March-2010/109761"]http://bassplayer.com/article/warwick-robe...rch-2010/109761[/url] Robert Trujillo is,of course,well known for playing a,.......... Fernandes. Mind you,Warwick have the Bootsy model as well,as he's another well known Warwick user isn't he? [/quote] ...and Adam Clayton is famous for playing Fenders and then Laklands later on in his career. The only people that really springs to mind as a Warwick bassists are Stuart Zender and Jack Bruce.

Does anyone here own or have owned a Warwick Streamer $$? I am thinking of buying one in Ash and could do with your thoughts and opinions on it. I am mainly going to play rock on it, quite possibly with a pick and would be interested to see if you think it is cappable of doing this. I quite fancy one instead of a Precision type bass but it will be no good if its not going to be suitable for driving rock bass lines. Opinions and thoughts really appreciated.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='764375' date='Mar 4 2010, 07:52 PM']... you can never leave! [/quote] Thats Talkbass, you can tell by the American flag. Now this is Basschat HQ,

I played a BG the other week and it really was a superb sounding and playing bass. Really did sound like a Precision. I also had a DJ which was a lovely bass.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='759438' date='Feb 27 2010, 09:20 PM']I ALMOST got one of those with 5 strings, for a REALLY good price, but my indecisive ways meant it was sold Now I cant bear to pay the price on the new retail prices. [/quote] I have just noticed that my German made Corvette Standard that I paid 580.00 last month is now up to 1100.00 at Thomman.

I think this is top of my list. A Warwick Streamer $$ in Natural.

Bought a Aggy GS112 from Malc today. Perfect condition and as described. Very friendly and easy to deal with. Many thanks.

Bought from Nick an Agy GS112 cab. Mint condition and sounds superb. As ever, Nick was super fantastic and very helpful. Thanks matey.

This is a bit late but better late than never. Sold my Lakland Duck Dunn to Nick sometime last year. Great to deal with and a very nice chap. Many thanks.

Bought an ESP gig bag from Ellis. Perfect condition and as described. Nice guy and many thanks. Would be happy to deal with again.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='756583' date='Feb 24 2010, 10:37 PM']Oh Bloody hell. I'm happy with my DD and have the Sub to keep me interested in something different. Not wanting for anytihng at the moment. Then I read a reply in the P vs Jazz thread and someone mentioned a Squier VM jazz and bang, i now want one. Badly. So badly that im likely to get it in the next week, before my next gig. I hardly ever used my HW1 jazz so why has this hit me so hard loL. Might offload the Sub to pay for it or just get even more in to debt. Bugger.[/quote] HAHAHAHA Dave you are so funny but I'm just as bad Today I am having a Warwick Streamer GAS day. Tomorrow it will be something else and the day after is anyones guess

I have found this with Jazz and Precisions. My old band which was guitar punk pop needed a precision. A jazz was too thin and elegant for this type of music. My last band was cleaner and more like indie folk and I found the Precision was too dirty and not defined enough. A lot of the bass lines turned to mush. A Jazz was perfect for this band. It really does depend on the style of music played.
