Hey there!!
This is my first Stingray, I just bought it Friday and have just about put it down long enough for me to eat. Great sounding, great playing, beautiful finish.
I have been playing G&L basses for the last two years and have a pretty nice collection of those (the ASAT is my favorite). With some things that have gone on behind the scenes with Eden amplification and Alpha Audio (Musicman dealer) in Mystic Conn. I was given the chance to get a great deal on the Ray that I purchased. I had tried a few out over the years but could never get comfortable playing them, I was so used to using the bridge pickup as a thumb rest that I could never quite adjust to the single pickup position on the Ray. I always loved the sound of them and it always bothered me that I had a weird mental thing going on in my head why I could not play them. Well I spent about an hour playing this one in the store and I have too say I had no problem adjusting too it, the bass was setup perfect with great intonation and the strings so low that you could practically breath on them and play a note. The one thing I really like about the bass is the sustain it has on the E string when dropped tuned to a D, it rings forever and stays nice and fat sounding.
This bass has the 2-band EQ, which I have no idea if it's any better or not than the 3-band ones that are out but I do know it sounds great too me
For some of my info check out my signature, and I am *sometimes* on the Eden forum.
