    2001 MM Stingray 4

    [quote name='cameltoe' post='848912' date='May 26 2010, 08:58 PM']Have a bump on me.

    I'm a Precision man at heart but I tried a stingray the other day and loved it.

    Black on maple is the best colour by a mile too.

    My next bass for sure!

    £700 seems ridiculously cheap for a stingray. I think it may be suffering from the fact that there seem to be a few second-hand ones around at the moment. Things seem to come into trend- I'm sure Fenders are 'in' at the moment. They don't seem to be hanging around, even the Classic Vibe squiers are getting snapped up quick. Stingrays are so cheap now, I can't understand why people aren't taking advantage. I would be, if I had the funds.

    Hopefully the prices will still be low when I next get my hands on £700!

    Good luck.[/quote]

    Thanks Cameltoe!

    + Pm Replied Bassalot!

    [quote name='richardd' post='843508' date='May 20 2010, 08:18 PM']:) Hi Tom. Just cannot make my mind up about stingrays,the last one I had was a pre Ernie Ball and could barely hear the G so put me off a bit,I am sure they are fine as there are loads about.pity you are so far away,or we could look see,anyway how is life down on the farm. Rich :rolleyes:[/quote]


    Yeah fine thanks. Although we are seriously needing some rain down in this part of the world, people are starting to mutter about 1976 etc..... :lol:

    +Yes. Trial periods are preferable for bass swaps I think. Or at least a try out. Personally i love the sound of my ray, + the G is fine to my ears at least. (Mind you, i have had 2 and never noticed any problems)? I just love the feel and playability of Jazz necks and find i only use it now as a back up really. I guess my ideal swap would be a Sterling....... pretty much impossible to find em tho!

    Good luck with the sale mate :lol: Someone has got to buy this soon, surely...? It is a seriously high spec bass for £700 ......

    [quote name='Johnston' post='838006' date='May 15 2010, 11:14 AM']Just noticed they are all 33.27" scale rather than 34".

    For the rick-a-like you could understand but why do the others short too.[/quote]

    They do look Fab for the money.

    What difference in terms of sound will that shorter scale length make?

    Hi Rich, how goes it?

    If i can sell my Stingray, i would be very interested in this. Just thought i ought to offer a straight swap though if you fancy it??

    Have thought long and hard about this and finally decided to part with my favourite "Ray".................


    [size=4][color="#FF0000"]Thought some more and decided to keep!!! [/color]:[/size] :rolleyes: :)


    [s]My first real decent Bass. Never played a better sounding one, it has loads of Bottom end compared with any others i've had or tried, no idea why...but it just has ok!?

    I bought an American Deluxe Jazz a few weeks ago now and i just cant go back to the neck on the Ray, lovely as it sounds.

    It is in great condition and only been owned by me from new. There is one small ding on the top of the body shown below. It will come with a new set of strings, I will either put them on or leave in the case for you to put on as you prefer it done.

    I would like £700 firm. Free delivery in the UK. + Will ship anywhere else at buyers expense.

    Trade-wise. Straight swap for a Sterling or newish US Jazz, would probably be happy to do a deal on a nice Jap or mexican Jazz with extra cash to me, maybe an Aerodyne non export model...

    Try me, just as long as it is jazz/sterling type necked.

    Appologies, pics not the best, will e-mail more/better pics if required..[/s]Cheers

    What's the last bassline you learned?

    [quote name='StevieC' post='829260' date='May 6 2010, 07:10 AM']Planet Earth - Duran Duran (Played with a pick, though fingers is my normal style)

    Cissy Strut - The Meters

    Steve[/quote]

    How weird...I literally just discovered the work of "the meters" on spotify randomly about 5 minutes ago in a rambling "related artists" chain of links. Great band and Cissy Strut is an amazing tune.......anyway..
    Start of the chain was RHCP, listening to "pretty little ditty" by them cos thats what i have just learnt. (very pleased with myself, can't wait to show off at band practice) :)

    [quote name='faceman' post='826108' date='May 3 2010, 01:06 AM']Does anyone have any suggestions where to begin, what to read, watch! Also any beginner slap tunes that could be worth trying?[/quote]

    Like some of you other guys got the pop thing fairly quickly. It took me ages and ages to get the slap thumb thing right, mainly it just didn't sound right, then i watched some old aussie guy on youtube explaining in real simple terms and suddenly just got it! Then it only takes years and years of practice to get faster and remain accurate!!! :)

    My tip for a good beginners/first slap track is "jungleman" by RHCP. It is nice and slow and groovey. And pretty simple too.

    Have fun!

    [quote name='Rosh' post='803739' date='Apr 12 2010, 02:02 PM']I didn't mean the basses, I'm sure they are fantastic, I just meant not being able to contact someone I'd bought a bass off overseas without playing it would worry me slightly, as would the constant use of capital letters in the ad![/quote]


    Hmmmm. He is a big volume seller, very good feedback....It does say to... "please call me" instead??

    There is a returns policy too if you read the blurb in his shop page. They are also B stock items so i imagine the margins are fairly tight if you know what i mean.

    Nothing to get too worried about i would think, I'm only lurking at the moment anyway, no bidding as of yet, need to sell a gu$%*ar to raise some funds first. It just looks like an interesting option.....

    Thanks for the concern though! :)

    There is a shop in the states, selling B-stock Schecter basses on the Bay.

    see yer: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCHECTER-OMEN-EXTREME-5-5-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-BLUE_W0QQitemZ130381961280QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item1e5b5ed840"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCHECTER-OMEN-EXTREM...=item1e5b5ed840[/url]

    I am feeling pretty much G.A.S free on the 4 string front nowadays, just really want to have another bash at conquering the 5ers. Quite interested in a 35" scale one too, so this seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Spec and finish seems brilliant for the money...too good to be true? Opinions please...

    Cheers
    Tom
