S.U.B. USA are 2 EQ and slab bodied I like them but def try before you buy

Pino Signature fretless Stingray is $21500 by gum plus freight and tax crikey dickens I need to stop looking at reverb and ebay

Bass Bros yeah last year they had a lovely Red unlined fretless 5 I was talking to my Wife about it , she said you'll be thinking about it , I said yes next day it was sold - I need to be more decisive lol

I had a look at Japan sellers( they tend to offer Aotearoa free freight) and obviously we are not a big market It's about $4000 NZ for a good looking 2EQ 4 string Stingray About $9000 for items described as "pre EB" A brand new 3EQ Stingray is about $6000 plus freight and import and GST there is 1 Stingray on Trade Me ( the NZ Ebay) for $3200 In my opinion these prices are for the determined player (serious) or the higher economically able citizens

I've not played a Stingray that was not well constructed the weak G syndrome however I have never experienced it I've got an 2EQ SUB USA Slab 5 , it went straight to the luthier - now it's magic , wasn't poorly made, just poorly looked after by the previous owner I'm well keen on an unlined Fretless 5 now however the numbers made will be scarce

March 2021 I got an unlined 2EQ Stingray for NZ$2400 thats approx 1050 UK Pound I think there is a 0% chance of securing another one at that price

Stingray Sunday here a decent 6 hours in the music room today - luxury

My 1998 ABM 15-10 HX is still going strong and a superb cabinet I also liked the SWR 18 Big Bertha and the old Peavey 18 + 10+10 An old teacher of mine had a lovely Mesa cab , big unit but I can’t remember if it was 18 or 15” speakers as ever Horses for Courses

if I wanted high end sizzle Ashdown is not he go IMO I totally don't which is why I have used Ashdown since 1998

Walrus Audio Warhorn Ages got a bit of D and D/ LOTR about it

anyone here some experience with Moog Minifooger MF Flanger? ta.

Diamond (SGFX) have a B stock sale this includes the wonderful Comp EQ and the F Octave (which I haven’t tried but have heard it’s excellent for BASS)

"Lurid Machine" I see today in post your pedalboard that's a good name

some people believe in tone woods , some do not I got a thing about Wenge but no data or science - just a vibe

The new one ( with the limit switch) is back in stock I think P and C was first released in 1995(?) I reckon I used one in 1997(?) and it had an internal switch ( Bass) I could be mistaken with Hot Cake having the internal switch however regardless it’s a very cool pedal - my favourite is with an OC-2 in front of it

1998 February Ashdown Klystron 400 still going strong

Possibly the first print review of the Stingray 5 (?) Guitar World April 1989

https://ashdownmusic.com/blogs/news/introducing-the-uk-pbm-200 I was thinking this on one of my pedal boards stupid idea or not?

I was pleased to see Ashdown PR today “built British” etc 2026 is British Manufacturing etc

hope the NW is good mate I feel the 2EQ as boost boost

no , but thanks for the offer.

I was seriously considering buying a Mesa 400+ today via a local auction site but I exercised restraint

MTD Grendel made late 1990’s 35” scale Wenge fingerboard superb instrument
