G string alignment that would make a stingray cry

Little bit of Ibby history.

Lovely

So you're saying I should buy his 6 string bongo instead? @NancyJohnson

It came with very dead MTD strings (tapered). But I'm using Ernie Balls on it now.

 

Plot twist. I actually bought another one and sold this one as the new one was 9/10 mint and had a much nicer top.

 

 

 

Did you buy the bass bros one with the EMGs?

My close enough

Best necks on a bass ever ever

Oh @acidbass.....

Bargain 

Especially for the coveted 2 band

That guts me as I had a clf l2000 and just couldn't get it to do anything with my bands at that time. Shame because maybe it would work with my current ones. And they're too expensive to take a gamble on. 

Fear not dude, the tributes are fantastic and can be bought for under £500. Recently saw an l2500 on ebay for £375.

And certainly don't mention that there are (mostly) second-hand basses that are a good match for a Stingray. Looking at you;

 

•Ibanez ATKs- or anything else with that Triple Coil pickup. 

•Warwick $$, Fortress MasterMan, Streamer Pro M etc. 

• Various G&Ls such as the L1000, L2000, ASAT

 

All of them sport "that growl", or their own version of it.

The L2000 is the biggest secret hiding in plain sight in the bass world. 

It does EVERYTHING!

Lol exactement

Amazing basses. And not just for the money. Slim neck and powerful humbuckers and ibanez quality.

Good shout Kev

Ah.... 👌

Theres a nice US SUB up at minute with decent G string alignment. 

Also about half the price of a "full fat" Ray.

I currently own both, and that's a fair assessment. 

It took me half a dozen rays to get to that realisation. Love the Ray tone just can't get on with playability.

I find the best thing i look for on a US stingray is a G&L L2000 tribute 🤪

Could the mods please move this to accessories etc?

Thanks @ped

Agreed the specials are a significant upgrade but their pricing is crazy.

£2k is mental to me for a Stingray (had a classic for £1100). Especially when a ray34 or US SUB will gets you 75% of the way at £600ish. Your mileage may vary obviously.

Beautiful. Health to play.

The USA SUBs are great and half the price.

RAY34s also (not USA if thats non negotiable which it definitely shouldn't be)

What a Billy bargain

Sauron in bass form....

I'll get my coat.
