ZenX Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Picked this up last night from a chap in Andover, had my eye on it via Farcebook Marketplace and when the price dropped I felt it would be rude not to! I wanted a 5 that would cut a bit more than my BTB (it's a lovely bass, but a bit polite in character and this is a metal.band - although I'm fully prepared to admit the action might be too high). This thing clangs like Optimus Prime in a tin bath. Nice tight string spacing, low B behaves itself, electronics are quiet and gutsy and it's got a maple board (gone right off rosewood). As a bonus I got to try out the sellers Elite series Jazz (very tasty). Honeymoon period obviously but this might become my main instrument.

songofthewind Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Fab! These are great basses. I’ve got a SUB Ray 4 that I like very much. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davebassics Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Two of my bass bucket list items: Stingray 5 string Deffo looking at these as a entry to both. Are these new to you or do you have previous experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these new to you or do you have previous experience? First Stingray. This is my other 5. And my Jazz is BEAD strung. Mainly the Stingray sound I was after.
