Simple. Who wants to wear armbands & headbands ? 'Nuff said

Try flats

*Thread hijack* What is the best bass for metal ?

They could write some good tunes .... wasn't all Nicky Chapman. exhibit A : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBdFA6sI6-8

Try changing the battery.

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1453721237' post='2962032'] I agree with this - except for the boost and cut - see attached clarification - also clarified in the thread by Rod Trussbroken (owner of the website Musicman.org). [url="http://forums.ernieball.com/music-man-basses/52008-cut-boost-2-band-eq.html"]http://forums.ernieb...-2-band-eq.html[/url] [/quote] Yes, the link I sent (on page 2 with graphs) mentions both bass and treble are cut & boost but the cut on the bass is very small - "And looking at the T=0, B=0 curve at the top of your post, I see the evidence for the claim that although the bass pot is supposed to be boost only, it actually has a cut (very small, like -2dB) when set to zero." Personally I find that setting bass to 50% is not flat - its a definite boost. But then again I have a '78 model when there was little consistency.

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1453634876' post='2961176'] On the 2-band the bass is boost only, the treble is cut and boost. [/quote] This is correct. Link below explains it all. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/instruments-amps/226943-understanding-music-man-stingray-2-band-preamp.html Note I have a 2eq and a 3eq. With a 2eq, I find it better to go easy on bass boost as it quickly becomes overpowering.

What are the eq control settings on each bass ?

You should add Clouds. Brilliant track. With a v young Whitney on backing vox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xADrCKYUEcc

LJ was a major influence. Bought a Stingray because he played them. Always had a crisp clear deep bass sound - check the Blam album. Great fingerstyle with a massive array of credits. Here he is with Rufus in 1981 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zASUnQfi5OU

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1410642019' post='2551621'] "Back to the OP, I always think it sounds like a Stingray on 'Ashes to ashes' by Bowie, though I've only ever seen George Murray use a P bass or a Travis Bean. Definitely one on 'State of independence' by Donna Summer" Martin [/quote] State of Independence = Louis Johnson yet again

Also add Louis Johnson on the Brothers Johnson album Blam from 1978. Every track with a stingray. High in the mix. Reason I bought a ray in the first place. Somebody mentioned Kim Clarke of Defunkt. Check out In America album.

What a great band !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAjIOdsxVpU Been playing their stuff a lot

He was better in the 70s. All the Dan (post 1977) and solo stuff (with the exception of Kamakiriad - his best solo work imo) sounds too controlled and a bit lifeless personally. Lack of vibrancy and general spark

Hi, looking to buy a pair of active monitors. Planning on using them for watching DVDs and playing games on desktop too in addition to primary purpose connected to presonus USB interface Any recommendations ? Thanks

[quote name='TheMissWolfiee' timestamp='1375545293' post='2162762'] Saw this on gumtree and was wondering if it was really worth the asking price? I own a 2005 Made in USA Sub 5 and didnt pay nearly as much for it (possibly more worn cosmetically but still)... Anyway, thoughts? [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/musicman-sub-bass-guitar-5-string-very-rare/1026648173#photo-content"]http://www.gumtree.c...3#photo-content[/url] [/quote] Short answer = No. Why ? Because I bought a proper Stingray 5 for £650 a month ago

Hi, took my Stingray 5 (recently acquired on ebay for £650 !!) to its first rehearsal last night - what a great bass. Superb B 3rd attempt at a 5 string. 1st was a Ken Smith Burner bought on this very forum. Great bass but 16mm string spacing was a no go. Off loaded to the Gallery. 2nd was a Tobias Killer B (also bought here). Much better string spacing (17.5mm) but never got used to small body shape which made playing while sitting awkward. Again offloaded to Gallery. Already own a pre-eb and a 1987 3EQ. [attachment=136685:IMG_03301.JPG] [attachment=136686:IMG00141-20091025-1210.jpg]

4.1 kg on digital scale. Lighter than both my stingray 4s

Just picked up a 8.5lb stingray 5. Will add photos shortly plus my two stingray 4s for good measure

Hi, any ideas how much a lightweight stingray 5 should weigh compared to the norm ? Thx

Yep, try "just around the corner" from Herbie Hancock. Classic slap bass track

Johnny Hammond - Gears Every track a winner Played it today on vinyl

And the great Dennis Chambers on drums
