I'm thinking off getting rid of my gallien Krueger fusion 550 head which will include a korg rack mounted tuner this is all built into a 3u case....anyone got any recommendations for a nice loud ,compact combo I'm Thinking possibly mark bass though the new ampeg combo's are getting good reviews ..I don't really want 300 watts then 500 watts with an extension cab ....My cab at the moment is a genz Benz 2x 12... Anyone got any recommendations ...we playing anything from deep purple through to pearl jam..muse ..Metallica ect ...

Ibanez atk 405 ..why oh why did I sell this ...like hens teeth now

Had a hellraiser ..great bass ...though I'm probably in the minority ...make sure you try out first just in case it's not for you ,I found the resale value very poor .......

Thanks for kind comments ...it is the most comfy 5 string I've ever played perfect neck and sound for my style ...

Now finished complete with new pickguard ..which was great product of ebay ...

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1421445157' post='2661464'] The natural and the black are still in the lineup, probably the only ones that have been available from the start. Ive just noticed they have dropped the wording single piece from the body wood specs and the natural one in the photo does have a join up the middle, which my pre EB did to be fair but it looks like single piece bodies are getting rare? [/quote] My sub is two pieces ...I've heard sandberg never use a single slab ,..as long as it's a good grain match ...colour wise I guess it all depends how long and what colours make if over here ...

Ahh twins !!....definetly leaving the neck as is looks cool ...

All the pastel colours seem to have gone ...I'll be honest I'n not fussed I'd take any of them and be very happy )

I've not been on the stingray site for a while ...was coral red I'd seen ..I'll go check out ...

Like the red ..don't like the white pickup cover though The clear finish looks stunning ..anyone seen the sledge colour ...?

That was my thought ..though my neck is still good ..the more I've looked at it the more I've thought leave it ..I think the tortoise pickguard will finish it nicely ..though I am saving for my classic but I'm stuck between black or sunburst ....

Been a little bored this week ...I decided to get rid of the "textured " paint ..(which I hated ) on my usa sub 5 ...the rumours were that they didn't use the best graded woods for these so this was a gamble and some will frown on doing this but I'm quite pleased with ,I've ordered a nice tortoise pickguard and have no intention of selling this ever ever ..the big question is "should I do the neck and headstock "??..my feeling is no as I'll loose the decal .. but opinions would be appreciated ..

Being a vain tart ..I've never liked the teardrop pickguard ...I had a usa sterling 5 string and didn't like it lost a huge amount reselling it I think we all guilty of this at some stage ...if my girlfriend new how much I had lost on buying bass's because of gas I would be living in a wheelie bin !...

I'd sell a kidney for that !

Love my usa 5 string sub .....only bass I gig now not the prettiest ..never really inspired by the stingray 5 ...I'm dropping some big hints to the other half about buying me a classic 5 ..they are jaw dropping beauty's and I need one in my life !

Cheers mate ..I may take you up on that ....I'm watching a 5 string version of yours on eBay at the moment ..had a lakland for a while With the same configuration as yours ...can't remember why I sold it on ...the ch5 has musicman style pickups which I'm tending to Find suit my style ...good luck Boxing Day mate ....
