Bongo Steve

I've got to admit to being a tad confused reading your posts, the Minimark is capable of being a 250 watt amp, which would be a little loud as a bedroom amp. whereas the Micromark is a 50 watt amp Machinehead can you clarify which one you've tried?

A 4 string, even, and I'm a 5 string man! I think its because I've been hankering for something a bit more organic than my graphite necked Status of late, but with the same solid build and enough cut for a modern rock band. I love the looks of the 4 string ray, and hate the looks of the 5, hence the preference for the 4. It would need to be able to handle BEAD tuning, mind... Now, I love my Statii, but I tend to have more of an affinity for my old battered Series 1 with its wood neck than the S2 I had made, which is a shame. The S2 sounds a bit sterile to my ears, and although it feels great its all about the noise it makes, right? Now, the question is, should I chop in the Status for a Stingray? And of course, the Sterling hasn't even come into the equation yet... [/quote] Well if you want to see both that exact Stingray and Sterling, that colour, both single pick ups and both maple boards, Sound Control in Birmingham have both in. Infact they only have those two and a Stealth Bongo in their MM section. Worth a trip up to try before you buy?
