obi 2 kenobi Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 [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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This is my Musicman Stingray 4 with 2band eq. It's an early 90's model in honeyburst with a clear acylic scratch plate, and a Hipshot D tuner. It has a custom flightcase.

sshorepunk Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I will be back in the MM club, sometime next week! A Sterling will arrive, then will take a trip out for a refin in a cool shade of blue, something along the lines of sonic blue, maybe the same powder blue as on the EB classic models. The powder blue seems to work better with the maple necked basses? It will be nitro and will be having a tort pick gaurd as well!

Stingray5 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 [quote name='LeftyJ' post='773689' date='Mar 13 2010, 04:19 PM']I just replaced the tortoise pickguard on my autumn redburst sparkle Stingray 5 with a black one: [/quote] I do like tort guards but have to say the black replacement does look nice on yours. I'm also just curious - the B string in your headstock photo seems a little slack beyond the nut. Just wondering if that's the string being a tad loose, or is there perhaps an issue with the nut/slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) The set of strings is a brand new set of Elixirs, and I think I must have mistakenly put an Extra Long Scale B-string on there, that I had laying around for stringing my Ibanez ATK305 through-body. So it's already at its thickest where it meets the tuner, resulting in this odd curve. The tuner itself and the nut are perfectly fine, this did not happen with the previous set of strings (as seen in this picture from the original eBay auction): Edited March 13, 2010 by LeftyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a t-totaller, what does a t-totaller gets as present at Xmas from his clients? You've guessed it! Hundreds of cases of beer, wine and spirits, he doesn't even appreciates! So what I decided to do on the day I received the bass, I threw a party on board (our ship) and those drinks were consumed within a couple of hours from the 45 crew members I work with who were all happy to wet the baby's head this way.

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Bass5, that is the one MM bass I still lust after! Congrats - It's an amazing looker & if the Ed Friedland review of these is anything to go by, it's possibly the most versatile sounding bass around, too.

Bassnut62 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 here's probably the besy bass I've ever owned and will never part with - '79 Stingray that cost me two Fenders in a trade in '84. The Stingray was and is that good. The G&L Asat also in pic is an 89, also from when Leo owned the company - this one's a signature model too.
