Thank You Mr. Ball

[The Rodg]

I am waiting for my HH SR5 graphite Pearl with moonstone pickguard to arrive in the next couple of days. I just wanted to say ahead of time thank you and your people for having such a vision of a beautiful bass-topia where you can pick and choose from so many variations of the same great product. This bass is the total answer to all my searching. And thanks to all the forum guys who have helped me figure out the 5-position pup combination switch.

:insert opportunity to post Tom's Bass:

 

[tkarter]

Yes I do and it looks just like the one up there but one pup.

They sure look better in person than any picture can make them look too.

imho

That is a fine lookin' Stingray 5.

I might be Lord Bongo and all, but I like me some Stingray 5s.

I'm waiting for the 20th Sterling, that will be the bomb.......

Everything I thought it would be!!!!

After a couple of weeks tweaking on this baby I really feel it is dialed in. I absolutely love the different tonal qualities of the 5 position switch. Just a little boost on the bottom and mid, treble flat in position 3 and I can almost hear exactly the tone my Bongo had (but not quite). Position one with the Mids cranked gets that growl that only a Journey fan would love!!! I have even found a good P sound out of position 4 with treble rolled down.

Does anyone else have any experience with ray5 HH? If so what have you found to be some cool options on the switch and EQs?

 

[Big Poppa]

thanks again rodg

Nice bass, I saw a StingRay in GC with that same PG, it was nice

That pickguard is perfect on that bass.

Beauty of a combo!

Beautiful bass .... love the pick guard.

I was just trying a HH in a music store last week. Try position 2 a little bass boost and just a tad mid cut for a cool funk tone. Don't know how it would sound in a band setting though.

just my 2 cents.

thanks for that..................I also found position 5 to get this awesome nasty tone that just melts your face right off when using a thumb/snap technique. Reminds me of a combo flea/jacco type tone (what a combination right?).

This bass is just freakin awesome.

BTW... Just got my Mesa Boogie M-pulse venture 600 2x10. What a combination!!!

My Aunt next door called me yesterday afternoon and told me I had to turn it down because I was nocking her pictures of her wall . And that was only at about 35% of power.
