TC Spectracomp.

Starry Night versions have ebony as fretboard wood.

The GK RB2001 can do 2 ohms but at three rackspaces high it's far from compact, not to mention it's weight of 42.5 lbs...

Looks like there are signature cabs too. Look closely from 50 seconds in. The 210 on the top of the cab stack has offset drivers and a yellow Marcus Miller silhouette graphic on the bottom right corner.

And a tilt back side (at right side facing front). See it at 1:33. The 410 is a tilt back too: [url="https://www.facebook.com/markbassamps/photos/a.10150626181423632.406412.5948898631/10155539421823632/?type=3"]https://www.facebook...1823632/?type=3[/url]

I suspect he'd sound like Marcus Miller regardless of what he played through.

+1. I once saw Mike Stern play on two Yamaha amps and a brand new Mike Stern signature Yamaha guitar at a (you guessed it) Yamaha clinic. Sounded just like he always sounds. It isn't all in the hands but a lot of it is!

Fender Roscoe Beck bass. IIRC a Bill Lawrence pickup design.

... erm ... why is the marketplace not filled with such basses?

[/quote]

The marketplace [i]is[/i] filled with such basses. On a P and a J bass the strings run between the pole pieces. Same idea executed by Leo years before the Old Smoothie.

Stingray itch is best remedied by applying a healthy dose of Stingray. Been there, done not quite that... Wanted a Stingray for 25+ years, I blame Gary Grainger for that. Go and listen to Blue Matter, Loud Jazz and Pick Hits Live by John Scofield. Stingray heaven and great musicianship! Finally had the cash to buy one but bought a Sterling 4H instead. I prefer the smaller body and slimmer neck. Soundwise they're both chips off the same block. It's everything I hoped for, sound and playability are both great.

Two 4x8"s and the Fusion 550. Boatloads of punch (and fun!) Can't get the image to upload upright but you get the idea.

Nah, I like it fine as it is.

Ha mine is Black with a maple neck too so I have got that bit right then

I chose a sunburst with rosewood over a black with maple Sterling 4H when I bought mine...

An alternative is a 92 to 08 SR5. Same electronics and neck as the ST5 - slightly bigger body and different pickguard. Lots of these around and it's possible to find 8.5 lbs ones - more usually 10 lbs.

You are so right. The early Stingray 5's had ceramic pickups instead of alnico ones.

That looks like a killer stack, very nice rig.

The logos are stuck on with double sided sticky foam that's fairly easy to remove. I removed the full-size logos from my NY804's, looks much better now.

At least I'll get my washing done.

Ahh, choices choices... Stink to high heaven or own a Stingray.

Gosh looks like I'll definitely be holding onto all of mine. Pricing has gone crazy. I'd never be able to replace them without spending about 40% more.
[/quote]

In may of 2015 I paid €1640 for my Sterling, at the same shop a bog standard Stingray (if there ever was one) was going for €1590. No Sterlings at the shop now but the remaining Stingray's have gone up in price: €1800-1850.

I don't do no stinkin' Facebook but 400 imperial credits of the realm doesn't sound bad even if you have take the condition of said item into account.

There's no substitute for the real thing...

SB14 has been discontinued, lack of sales. No 5 string version of that one was ever made AFAIK.

Even cheaper than that:

Pro Music Tools in Germany has a few. Prices are on the high side. No affiliation, never bought something there.

Sterling basses aren't as popular because every bassplayer automatically thinks Stingray when you mention Music Man. At least they still make the Sterling model, they must sell enough of them to keep it in production. But the Stingray outsells it by a huge margin. The Sabre Classic had a short-lived reintroduction but that one is gone (again) due to lack of sales. The Sterling, Sabre and Stingray are all fantastic basses. I always wanted "that MusicMan sound", I had never even touched let alone played a MusicMan bass. I bought the sleeker Sterling 4H online. It's everything I hoped for, a fantastic bass.

I've got two Roqsolid cab covers (unpadded). Great service, excellent fit and very good quality. Hotcovers doesn't list my MarkBass cab...

Bass Club Chicago has something similar (passive 44-Dual J in LPB) for only US$2289. Add a bit for shipping and a lot for importing one. My guess: between 2800-3000 pounds.

I always loved the sound of a ray, but I could never get on with the neck profile.

You can order a Stingray SLO Special, it has a Jazz-like taper instead of the chunky P profile. Or you buy a USA Sterling, these all have a Jazz-like taper.
