According to the website, the one I played is the only four string they have, either in the shop or the warehouse.

I has a quick 5 minutes on one in Andertons last Friday, my first time with fanned frets. I felt comfortable with the frets after a few seconds. I didn't have to acclimatise, and I was pleasantly surprised to not be playing two frets higher up the neck than I wanted, which has happened when I've tried headless basses before. It felt comfortable, but I hardly ever play sitting down, so I'd like to see how it feels on a strap. The sound was quite clean and hifi, which I like, but I found the tuners quite difficult to use. It's definitely worth trying one if you can.

Apologies if this has already been posted. I searched, but couldn't find anything. I've just had an email from Guitar Guitar about the Pino Palladino Signature Stingray, available in fretted and fretless versions. https://www.music-man.com/instruments/families/basses/pino-palladino

Cheers Lozz. I think it was The Plough And Harrow in Harpenden. I was playing with 111 (Simone and Howie's band)

My Precision Lyte.

Apparently the official announcement will be made this week

Cheers Lozz 😃

I bought my first bass in December 1988, a white Japanese Squier Precision. I didn't get on with it tonally and feel-wise, so I traded it in a couple of months later, and got a Tokai Jazz Sound (which I still play)

There's also a gloss Candy Apple Red now. It hit the UK shops last week https://www.gak.co.uk/en/sterling-ray4-hh-sub-bass-candy-apple-red/943005

I've always thought that Stingrays sound great, unless I'm playing one. To be honest, most single pickup basses don't give me the sound I want. (I think it's down to that weird tuning I use) I wondered if an HH Stingray could be the answer, so I tried one, and it is the answer. I didn't buy this to be my first choice bass, just to give me some more options. It arrived half an hour ago, and all seems to be in order. I'll give it a proper setup and play later on.

I've just bought my old bass back. I bought it new in March 1989, but used it to cover an outstanding storage bill at our rehearsal studio about 10 years later. I've always had the option of buying it back, and I finally got around to it today. Needs a clean and some new knobs, but it still feels like my bass.

He still uses it. I took this photo in March last year
