My Stingray, for all to see...

[S-Tin-Gray]

Here are pics of my bass, taken a while ago. It looks no different.

A dodgy photo, poor clarity but I was drunk.

This is what the second one is meant to look like...

Yeah, birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, highly figured swamp ash body. Circa 94 model, with the Flea-type (offset) bridge and saddles.

[BenJammin]

If nothing else... that is one damn nice-looking case. :cool:

Nice bass, too.

Argh, that sucks. Bloody LTD's... This bad-boy has a finish chip around the waistline, and some dents in the edges of the headstock. Must be all those cymbal crashes...

Thanks for all the positive comments by the way.

Beautiful Stingray. I love it. :thumb:


By the way, what kind of case is that?

[Worrpigs]

nice bass man. its pretty hawt.

[Rawb]

exellent choice dude, :thumb: but it doesn't look all that great to me.

[S-Tin-Gray]

Beautiful Stingray. I love it. :thumb:


By the way, what kind of case is that?

Hiscox flight case. Made in Britain. You can sit on the flat side of it and it won't even move. That is, if you weigh 85kg. I weigh 105kg, so I don't really want to try it... but I feel Ray is safe in his Hiscox. :)

[Down'd Angel]

i love the grain on that thing...

i've been craving a stingray like the past week...

[Alma]

Sexy dude. Awesome bass!

And just for the record.

Primus - beautiful mate, absolutely beautiful. Looking at the new Stingray photos I suspected they had some massive contouring; it seems to work well. And Down'd Angel, yeah the grain is what does it. It's actually bookmatched, not a one-piece body. Hard to pick!

[Alma]

The SR5s have a fair bit of contouring, which looks sick.

[sanray]

are those pickups on the bridge?

[S-Tin-Gray]

are those pickups on the bridge?

No, they are string mutes. Little pads with adjusting knobs. Give it a double-bass kind of sound, i.e. dead. :D

Yeah. They're very cool.

I use my MM cleaning cloth as a dampen the strings. sounds great.

Its a stingray 5. Sterling's don't come in 5 strings.

[elbassio]

I have a dilemma with a stingray. I can sell my current five and get a stingray five for £750, which is a sweet deal, but that means Ill end up playing a detuned musicman five in my band, which is just disrepectful.Or I can just buy the stingray for £750 and be skint for a while. I dont particularly want to sell my current one, which is a peavey grind as I dont mind bashing it about as much as I would a Stingray. Advice anyone?

[Alma]

Get the Ray. Theres nothing wrong with a detuned Music man

[elbassio]

Now someones told me to, I guess Ill have to go buy it...

(not sarcasm btw)

[tinnitus]

got a ray the other day, even through my shi.t practise amp it still souds gun

[Alma]

You can't pass up a Stingray. Absolute classic bass.

Tone to die for!

[PainKiller8191]

but how is that pickguard so different....if its the same series

[pukeboy66]

i think his is an older model

[Alma]

but how is that pickguard so different....if its the same series

It just is. It doesn't have to be the same.

The oval pickguard look sh*thouse on the Ray 5s. Take a look at a Sub 5.

[Midnight]

Ray5s have grown on me.

Now i just need $2400 for one. Natural/Maple/Pickguard removed.

Ahhh, he's come around folks, he's come around... :)

I plan to make a few pickguards for Ray. Taking it off, the wood looks fantastic underneath, so clear would work well. Tortoise-shell would look fantastic too, as would tinted red/black.

[bass&cookies]

wow. i love the natural finish..

[Pluperfect_Arson]

Both are very appealing basses, but I like primus_55's more just because it has five strings. :)

I'm not much of a fan of Stingrays, though, but the fives are really appealing to me.

More like you need about $2700. Natural finishes are a $250ish upcharge. And if you have no pickguard, the control cavities will be bare. So, you've got to have a guard on as SR5's cavities are front routed.

Let's not forget the screw holes...

[Alma]

Yeh, that too.
