    hi, probably dumb question. Just picked up 2 MarkBass Traveler Cabs (2 x 10). Each cab has one speakon and 2 1/4 inch jacks. Question : why 2 1/4 inch jacks ? What's the difference between them (if any) ? Thx

    Never thought I would do this but hey Up for sale (no trades) is my 1978 Stingray. Had this for many years. Its all original, complete with epoxy pre-amp. Been refretted of course, as to be expected for a 32 year old bass. Selling for £1,600 including hard case (though not original). Collection from West London only. And now the photies.......

Feedback all good.

    Its difficult to get regular Mon-Thu evening slots in London rehearsal studios we've tried. Consequently, used a lot of different places. Some are great, e.g. Terminal, Joint & Fortress. Some are ok; Alaska & Premises. Some are good but out the way; Creek Others are crap; Enterprise Any recommendations ? Looking for clean large rooms w/quality gear. Thx

    Also big Hawkfan. Saw them live on Black Sword tour in Glasgow in '84. Harvey was the man for me, esp Levitation era...got it on blue vinyl.... Met Lemmy a few times in the Portobello Gold. Great pub

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='845719' date='May 23 2010, 01:26 PM']Ah, unfortunately it had some issues issues with the neck when it arrived. I decided against waiting for another as it put me off in a way. Big Al 5 and Ray 5 will be more than enough anyway [/quote] Can you pm me with details as I am considering selling my pre-eb to buy a Classic. Thx

    Louis also had a great fingerstyle sound. Solid and tastefull. With Michael McDonald.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2iFqcFcdBU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2iFqcFcdBU[/url]

    Larry Graham had a great sound by first GCS record in '74. Granted before that it was arguably undefined when with Sly. Other guys in the same period (Louis Johnson, Pops, etc) also had a kind of muffled slap tone on the P basses at the time. Personally I prefer the Louis's stingray tone on Blam from '78 to the among best recorded slap tone. Which is another reason why rays > p bass IMO Other great early slap sounds are from Byron Miller (on p bass with George Duke and Roy Ayers). Also check out Abe Laboriel, esp. on Chaka Khan (Night in Tunisia) and w/ George Benson 'Give me the nIght album

    [quote name='Stingray5' post='733640' date='Feb 2 2010, 11:50 PM']obi - A very nice pair, sir!! Is the one on the right a Cherry 'burst? The see-thru guard shows it off nicely too. Cheers. I think its either Honeyburst or Autumn Burst. Very orange & yellow in the flesh. Sound Control had a 5-6 Stingrays when I bought it 20 years ago or so. It had the best paint job. bass5 - Ok, did it this time. Actually, it didn't take too long after all. The 'other porn' served to fill the time... The vid is nicely done too and your basses look truly wunnerful! So what do you think of the 25th Anniversary? And who's the music you used for the vid? (Carlton? Ritenour? Stern? etc.)[/quote]

    [quote name='KERMITNT' post='732536' date='Feb 2 2010, 08:39 AM']I think 2eq is better in the low end. Definitely I am gonna buy a classic. My fretless that is 2 eq has the best sound that a stingray can get. I think the 3 band eq is good in my HH stingray that can play everything the pickup make the difference tonal variations and sounds from the HH model. I don’t know the graphite neck should affect the tone. Overall 2 eq is better but i think you need more ajustments to get the right tone with the 3eq.[/quote] Your last comment is spot on. With 2EQ its plug'in & play. Cuts through instantly at any control setting. With 3EQ you've got to fiddle with the mids, and sound is always at bit more abrasive. Though I'm happy with both. Cue photo excuse.... [attachment=41674:rays.JPG]

    Lazarus thread here.... Rehearsing with 2 bands over last 2 months. One with gtr, keys & drms and other with gtr x 2, keys & drums. Both similar, mostly classic rock. Been switching been two Stingrays; a 2EQ and 3EQ to check the difference. Amps set flat. Same strings. With 2EQ, instant cut through. Bass control at 40% - 75% . Treble close to zero. With a 3EQ, if all set at centre detente, sound is lost. Reproducing 2EQ settings (on bass & treble) with mid at centre....still sound is lost. Becomes too bassy and lacks definition. Need to use mid boost to get heard but sound is overly harse imo. Conclusion, 2EQ wins.

    These bands appeared around the same time in the mid 80s or so and were all kind of early pioneers of funk metal punk combos with Bad Brains possibly the first in this genre. RHCP really exploded on scene in '91 with BSSM leaving the other bands well behind. Is it because their songs were 'better' or is there another reason ?
