bassbloke Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Horses for courses. I've had my mate's Stingray ebony-boarded fretless 5 on loan for ages and I just don't like it. The pickup's in the wrong place, it's overly aggressive sounding and the preamp is all or nothing. Nice B though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 [quote name='Chris Horton' post='1110957' date='Feb 1 2011, 01:36 PM']I have uummmmed & rrrrrrrrrrddd about selling my stingray 5 sevral times and now realised how much I love the SR 5 bass. So much so that i would love to get another SR5 in white with matching headstock Trapped GAS is a terrible thing [/quote]ive come and ive gone..i will always be a Jazz man..but the tone and feel of a Stingray 5 just gets me..its the quality, tone, weight, narrow neck... Randy 'Hope' Taylor plays one on a certain album and it sounds so good.. although not a truely versatile bass, it covers lots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 My Stingray was the best bass I had apart from what I have now..so a 5 er was always an option. I fancied a rich red or cherry burst with white plate but never got round to finding one. I don't think the typical MM sound would suit me now...so have stopped looking. I must get hold of one to put my mind/lust at bay. I doubt I'll get one though...unless I find they don't sound like MM anymore..!! Those pics are getting there, tho...

bubinga5 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 This is nice..its a HellBoy SR5.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 But for the screw-holes from the old scratchplate and a mildly ill-conceived control plate, that actually looks suitably nice. At least it's different, and shows off the 'Ray 5s best aesthetic feature- The symetrical bottom- rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
