    Hi, Mark bought my 1978 Stingray. Top communication. Superfast bank payment. Flawless transaction. Mark, I hope you enjoy the bass as much as I did over last 15 years. Missing it already. Cheers Ken

    Hi Guys, After much debate I have decided to put my 1978 stingray up for sale. Price = [s]£1,600[/s] £1,550 I am the 3rd owner. Had it for 15 years. It has been gigged many times both by me and previous owner, a pro muso (who bought it in 1980 second hand) and used it on tour with Gary Numan and Van M among others. It is all original except for fitted Hipshot. Original tuner is included in sale along with a hard case. Body dates from June 1978. Neck is from Sep 1978. I added the details, a few years ago, to Gav's musicman site below : [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/mycustompage0052.htm"]http://www.musicmanb...tompage0052.htm[/url] Weight = 4.5kg. All electronics work perfectly. Neck & trussrod also working perfectly. Strung with Cobalt flats.String volume balance is excellent. No silent G. Based in London. Collection preferred. No trades as cutting down on my collection.

    Had a Ken Smith 16.5mm 5 string. It was too much of a change when switching with standard 4 strings. Sold it and bought a SR5 (17.5mm spacing). Much better.

    Ditto comments on Alaska. Need to burn your clothes if you go. It stinks.

    Incredible bass line. Also played on Skipping. Could it be any more busy ?

    [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 ?
  19. obi 2 kenobi
    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
  22. obi 2 kenobi
    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
