Horizontalste Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Recent stupid (& not serious) hand injury made playing my 35 scale 5 strings a bit of a mission so to keep the cobwebs at bay I've dug out my favourite 4 string. The pain of the hand injury just melted away as I remembered why I love my Stingray so much. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Swapped out the neck on two of my Sabres. Sledge is wearing a new pickguards.com black abalone guard as well as the maple neck. The natural is now the same as the Sabre I owned for a while and then stupidly sold a long,long time ago. Probably keep them like this for a while... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Both very nice indeed I think I preferred the natural one with the maple neck. But saying that the both look great. I must get myself a Sabre on day instead of buying another stingray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same with the Sabres though I am looking at a StingRay Special as my next MusicMan hopefully. My sunburst Sabre is now wearing flats with the mutes doing their thing. On the P bass setting it sounds great so that bass is staying that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I’m not sure if I have posted mine on here. This is my 2000 Stingray, I have had this about 6 years now. I have mixed feelings about this bass, it plays so well and just feels so comfortable, but I have never been thrilled by the colour. I just can’t seem to bring myself to sell or trade it for fear of not getting another quite so good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black plate and pickup cover would make it all better 😉. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about black on it, off to google to find an example. I have a Pearl white which I always pair with a black pickup cover when I fancy a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I agree with @Deedee, that's why my Stingray is his (one of) old Stingray. However, I really like the colours just as they and I don't say that about many Ray's without maple boards! It's a cool lookin' bat! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must point out that I believe sticking a black plate on improves the look of most basses, although when black’s too much, a minty green one could be the answer. This was mine 😍 Edited April 4, 2023 by Deedee 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I think an aged pearl one would work really well. I had a tortoise one on my classic and changed it for the aged pearl. It completely changed the look of the bass for the better in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 It's been a while since I posted here so thought I'd pop this pic of me 'n' my '89 Ray5 at a recent festival gig. Bought in '97, it's been my main go-to bass ever since. All original apart from the white pearl plate. Yeah, it's weightier than a modern Ray -- about 10.5 lbs -- but it's not really a problem. Ask me again when I'm the other side of 70! 👍🤠👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
