Musicman20 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Lots of punk and hardcore bands in the 90s onwards use/used a Stingray. One of the reasons I got into them as a 12/13 year old. Good Riddance - mid 90s. Mad Caddies Lagwagon Screw 32 Descenedents The biggest influence for me was just the entire look...I loved the oval plate. As soon as I heard one, I was like 'that is IT!'.

I remember walking into a music shop in 1976/7 and seeing a Stingray hanging on the wall. I instantly hated the oval scratch plate. I've got used to the look now but it took about 30 years. Frank.

drTStingray Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1480488743' post='3184720'] I was going to say exactly this, including the bit about the 40th Anniversary as my one arrived yesterday and it's superb. [/quote] Hey glad you finally got it. I really do like the sound of mine - it can be really thumpy even without the mutes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I had an '89 blonde 2EQ StingRay that sounded amazing, I stupidly sold, & later bought a mid/late 90's 2EQ StingRay to replace it. It didn't get anywhere near the sound of the '89, in fact I struggled to get a good sound out of it at all. Moved it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) 1991 Red Hot Chili Peppers give it away - actually it's believed Flea recorded this on a Wal MK1, used for the majority of BSSM (see [url="https://youtu.be/y4O3I5X0q_4?t=25m4s"]here[/url]). You could use Aeroplane in 1996 though, apparently that's a Stingray. Edited December 2, 2016 by bakerster135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 There are loads and loads of punk examples...some of the players above are actually VERY good players. Especially the Descendents bassist Karl Alvarez - check out their track written by Karl called 'Caught'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
