[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1321577756' post='1440974'] Ha almost got me to give it away there! Mine is actually the lightest Ray I have owned, lovely [/quote] Sorry folks if we have gone off the thread subject somewhat here, but...... Pete are they really THAT heavy? The only Stingray i've tried was from 1982, it wasn't that bad weight-wise yet it seemed comfy somehow? The neck seemed a bit fat for my small hands though. Cheers in advance Tony.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1321552128' post='1440600'] See "blah blah blah" Maybe Im just envious as the two coolest looking basses Rics and T birds dont like me? [/quote] Hey Pete, i'll forgive your comments if you pretty, pretty please let me have your dreadfully heavy and God ugly Pre ernie Ball Stingray oh, well worth a try!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1321481358' post='1439829'] Watch all the Ricky fans come along " mine balances perfect all of them have, blah blah" [/quote] That's because it does!

That has to be totally unique? i've never seen anything like it.

This is very unfortunate. If it was me (assuming you are not in it for money or as a professional job) and I wasn't enjoying it I would probably walk. Consider doing more with band 2 is another option of course. Good luck I hope things work out for you.

[quote name='rocker19' timestamp='1321208618' post='1436503'] Hi I am new here I have just registered.Greetings from Slovakia I am bass guitars enthusiast, but I`ve been playing only for a few months.I`d like to put here for sale 2 basses/I have four which is something my wife don`t like at all/ could you tell me how much photos I am allowed to put here? Nice day to all Jan Slovakia [/quote] Greetings Jan. Welcome to the site

Welcome George. I used a 1X15 Acoustic combo when I was in a Wishbone Ash tribute band, it sounded great and served me well but I sold it because it was a bit too big. I hope things go well for you.

How odd, both of them are my heroes too! Chris Squire is my bass hero, and Glenn Hughes is one of my fave singers! enjoy the gigs.......

Hi bluejay, welcome aboard

Juergen was very quick to respond to a question that I had about my Tecamp Puma 350 and L115 cab. They have an excellent after-sale service so I wouldn't hesitate to contact him. You will find him responsive and courteous. I have also heard that their charges for repairs are reasonable. Here is his email address: [email protected] I hope this is helpful?

Hi all. In For The Kill (Budgie tribute band) have the last two gigs of 2011 coming up shortly. They are: Saturday November 19th at The George and Dragon, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 1BA - no door charge. Saturday November 26th at Rock City Nottingham NG1 5GG (supporting Heatseeker (AC/DC tribute). - £10 admission For more info...... http://www.inforthekill.webeden.co.uk/ [attachment=92894:In For The Kill poster image.jpg]

Bruford - Live tapes and Jan Akkerman - Live, are two of my faves.

I would play something simple (say AC/CD as an example),and play along to the record/cd. I always tap my foot when playing to help stay in time. Good luck!

Vas Dis or Handy - by Wishbone Ash, or sometimes, Roundabout - Yes

Right! I might have guessed as much!

I'm quite suprised nobody has mentioned this bass for sale yet (unless i've missed something?) given that he is very well known, highly thought of, etc....... Any thoughts?

This is sad to hear. Best wishes to him and his family, a wonderful bass player IMO

Here's 10 of some of my faves, in no order of preference : Lake - Celebrate Yes - Roundabout Melba Moore - Mind Up Tonight Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots Stevie Wonder - Do I Do Narada Michael Walden - Tonight I'm Alright Narada Michael Walden - I Should Have Loved Ya Brothers Johnson - Stomp Paul Young - I'm gonna Tear Your playhouse Down Chic - Everybody Dance

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1320130200' post='1422583'] I doubt you'll find one second hand easily though. I don't think they're being bought all that much. [/quote] That depends if you don't mind importing from Germany, as a black one went for under £300 only a couple of days ago. There was a sunburst one up for sale as well which has vanished now. They may not be easy to find in the UK though.

There's always the "Fame" bass Stingray lookalike?

You could always buy another rack that holds another 5?

The best bass line is the one that fit's the song.

Do you mean like these company's? Maybe these are what you are looking for, or at least it's a starting point for you? http://www.jhs.co.uk/wilkinson.html http://www.allparts.uk.com/ http://www.guitarspares.com/contents/en-uk/d414.html http://www.axiomatic-music.co.uk/
