simon1964 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) This is the second Stingray I've owned. Fantastic to play, brilliant neck, and seems to fit like a glove. But I just don't think the Stingray sound is for me! Its in good nick - the neck was grubby when I bought it, but has cleaned up nicely. 2 Band EQ, four string. I also have a John East 3 band Stingray EQ which I've never fitted, but which I could include in the right deal. I'm in no hurry to get rid of it, and I'm not 100% sure on trades. Probably something Warwick, Sandberg or possibly a nice Jazz. Try me! [attachment=22156:post_915...4697_ray.jpg] I can send more pics if anyone's interested.

It is very nice to play, with possibly the nicest neck I've encountered, but I find it gets a bit lost in the mix with the band (unlike a certain $$ I sold to fund the purchase ) On balance, following tips from several people on here, I'm going to fit the East pre-amp, and possibly a Nordstrand. Sacrilege to die-hard Stingray fans, but I'm hoping that will give me a fatter, more rounded tone.

May be a good idea to play with it a little though if you can afford it, make an instrument that feels right to you, sound right too. I hear the bartolini pickups sound a bit warmer and fatter with less attack if that's any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
