    RE-RESURRECT pt 2 Hello! Anyone got a hold of one of these and care to say something about them? I have a Kala "Rumble".... not good enough for acoustic situations. Am looking online but can't find anything (fretted) and the Shortbass website doesn't have a contact button... Anyone got the 'Basic" model? I am wondering what the difference can be between that and the new one that isn't yet available...

    [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1491829137' post='3275672'] As has been said on your status - whatever strap you decide on, be sure to use strap locks... [/quote] Is that because the bass could fall out of it's grip?

    Hello I'd like to ask you whether you have any knowledge or experience of a strap with great inner grip. I have finally found my posture for practicing and playing to be almost upright both standing and sitting. Although the strap I have get that position temporarily it just doesn't hold. I looked through the forum and saw some people mention The Minotaur, The Mono Bettie & Gaucho, but no review is specifically saying much about this particular posture. I also found a strap online (in Spain) which looks good (it's vegan if you care about that sort of thing, not my priority but..) http://www.rightonstraps.com/en/mojo-collection-race-red-strap.html I don't mind spending £40 on something but if I then gotta spend another £40 because that's not working or then again... it can get expensive! I would love to go to a store and try them all but it's just not possible these days... Thoughts from you would be much appreciated Thanks in advance! Dave

    Hi guys, having been getting some pains recently I found this post. Not that bad, but trying to work out what to do. I am practicing 4h a day plus a few rehearsals and a few gigs per week. Doesn't seem that extreme. As a drummer I used to practice around 6 or 7h. Posture seems to be more important than I'd considered and I'm addressing this in practice as well as going to see an alexander technique musician specialist. I have to say I was surprised to read such agreassive responses to the post as I thought this forum was one of much niceness! The mind is the body, undeniably. Don't want to get myself in trouble now, just saying... They are part of the one thing. But that doesn't make pains not real things that are triggered by physical behaviour. Anyway. Could we maybe hear from the original creator of the thread to see how he's doing now?

  16. DDR

    [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1488537505' post='3249733'] Also the Reflex and 25th Anniversay have ceramic I think - only available used - there's a 25th in the for sale now. There is also the Bongo but that does not really get a Stingray sound. All of these are few and far between to try out. [/quote] Yeah.... Pricey huh? While I am here I'm gonna dare ask... Sandberg California 2 VM??? I played one... Felt nice, not really got that musicman thing but closeish... What do you think?

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1488533228' post='3249675'] If you liked 5 strings you could get a Stingray 5 with the Sterling pickups....(ceramic)....certain eras cover this. [/quote] Interesting... I am both interested and afraid in the 5 string...

    Heya I just thought you might be interested in my report on the Classic Stingray I played today, uninformed as it might be... I liked it. I especially liked the feel of it in my hands, not as thin as my 50's style P but the width of the fretboard and lacqured neck worked nicely for me. The tone was great, as you know the 2 eq pots don't have a middle ground flat lock so it's a bit of a feel it out thing. I wasn't sure I was getting where I wanted with that. I guess one would get used to it. But I have to say that my personal preference leaned towards preferring the sound of my Sterling that I am selling. I want that sound but with the feel of the chunkier Stingray.... If you have any ideas... The search continues..... Thanks again for you help!

    Hey Pete, I'm in Stoke Newington, London
  21. DDR
    I suppose that could have been a reason... Filthy fetish if you ask me. Good for your posture tho

    Thanks Andrey, I agree that they don't look great. Its just aesthetic though, the bass sounds killer and at the end of the day they are at the back. I make this price drop knowing that the shop I'm going to today will give me less and charge the purchaser more, so here's a window to get a great sounding bass for a low price
  23. DDR
    Thanks again!

    @drTStingray pretty in depth there thank you! I am currently checking out some Classic models, gonna go give them a try tomorrow actually... anything I should know you might mention?

    Hello SOLD! [s][color=#ff0000][b]£550[/b][/color] then people![/s] [b][s]Dropping to £600. Hit me up, make me an offer (no trades please) [/s]for a great deal on this killer sounding and great feeling USA Musicman Sterling! [/b] [s]£700 or reasonable near offer[/s] Here is a Musicman Streling USA that I have inherited from a trade with a friend. The friend in question really likes the bass she got from me but I have not fallen for hers simply because it's "fast" jazz type neck is not my thing. I am a big chunky Fender P 50's style-neck type-man. Unfortunately for me I LOVE this Musicman sound so much I'm gonna have to get me a chunky neck Stingray! So here it goes for sale. I am afraid I don't know the year but the code at the back reads F05789 if that helps people who know how to search with that? Quite a few scuffs on the body, and 2 on the upper edge of fretboard. Also, not sure why but there's 4 drilled holes in the back. Someone suggested to me it might have been for midi interaction use. (All of these are photographed) Sounds phat though, no doubts about that. Pictures here : [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHskPXEf3f"]https://flic.kr/s/aHskPXEf3f[/url] Thanks! Dave
