stingrayPete1977 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I agree, I've got the new album and it's good but I doubt I'll be rushing out for tickets for the tour this time, bring back John and bring back the Stingray and I'll be first in the queue! I watched t in the park too, never touched a non musicman derived bass all night, he obviously knows what he likes in that department.

LayDownThaFunk Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I would be wary about playing a '61 stack knob, one of only 3 in that colour ever made, and taking it out on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njr911 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 have now received both mine. The first one was a bit of a porker at 9.5lb! Hoping for a lighter second one. Comparison pics tonight I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) When I pick mine up, it doesn't feel 'heavy' at the body. It doesn't want to dive, I don't think, but the body doesn't feel as heavy as I expected. No doubt the tuners are pretty weighty but they look class.

njr911 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Number 2 has arrived. it's light as a feather at a smudge over 8lbs. a 1.5lb difference between the two! Set up's great, I'm not sure how long I'll put up with roundwonds but we'll see. I'll be playing it in anger on Thursday and I'll get picks of the two roadworns together then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srwu Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1467967089' post='3087578'] I wouldn't be surprised if this was a test of the market by Fender, and full production might be based on how well these sell and how they take off in terms of the general public making comments about playing one. [/quote] Well, if you're listening Fender, how about a lefty........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Maybe the initial run was a brief test, and now the main production will start? Still weird that Europe had these before Fender even announced them! I checked my box and the shipping from Fender was May (serial matches the bass so it's the right shipping box etc). Weird! But, I much prefer that to products that aren't available for a year (like the Peavey micro amps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
