Jigster Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm considering a 2eq MM - - but if the eq is boost only in 2eq models i worry cos I always find Stingrays a bit too trebly and with my current 3eq I'm able to use the cut option and get the sound I prefer: does anyone have an opinion on how prominent the treble is on 2eq cos if it's too prominent and I can't use a cut facility I'd worry i've got my eyes on an early 80's model btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) My '79 'Ray is not at all 'scratchy' like I find the current 3 band eq models. Having the controls flat the sound is very passive like for want of a better term - although mine does have through body stringing and the chunkier bridge which likely affects the sound as well.

Buzz Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) [s]Does the 2eq not do cut then? I wasn't aware it was a boost only preamp.[/s] You learn something new everyday. Apparently it's bass boost with treble boost and cut (but with no center indent).

Jigster Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 oh i thought i read somewhere it was just boost, if u [b]can[/b] cut trebs then that would be better as I find the trebs a bit nasally on MM's - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Where will you start looking for a pre-eb stingray? I've been reading a little about them and would be interested to know where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do come up but the isue for me is that a lot of them are quite heavy - over 10lbs. My '79 'Ray is under 9lb and is truly a great instrument, but some are like boat anchors so you need to try before you buy.
