Who says a StingRay can't do jazz?

[Dr Stankface]

This is just a little tune I did with some cats from my college at a performance we did last Thursday. Please take into account that I was not mic'd or DI'd. My sound is strictly from what was picked up from the other instrument mics and vocal mics.

This is my Dargie (HS StingRay 5) through a Little Mark II and Epifani UL410.

The volume is a bit low at the beginning but does come up a couple measures in.

[Aussie Mark]

Who says anyone without a beard, hat and a bad shirt can't do Jazz? Nice work, El Stanko

 

[DTG]

Stanky your far too young and pretty to play jazz...

 

[Smakbass]

One of the best jazz guys in Vancouver here,,(with credits with players like Freddie Hubbard and some dude with the last name of Bowie) Plays a modifed stingray in jazz situations and it sounds great....His modifications are an extension at the end of the fretboard giving it 24 frets and a deeper cutaway.....

 

[Caca de Kick]

Oh yeah, your SR5 can do Jazz.

But that sax player can't...he definitely ain't suave.

 

[tkarter]

Bass sounds good! I think playing Jazz might stunt your growth though Andrew.

Nice work Stanky.

I wish the drum groove would have been a little bit smoother but we didn't even have this drummer until a few hours until showtime and he had never heard the tune.

Many thanks for the kind words gents.

Yeah, there's no frets on those things.

 

[Freddels]

I've played jazz with my SR and now my Sterling really shines at it.

 

[RocketRalf]

That's the closest sound to an upright I've ever heard from a 34" scale fretted bass. It's ridiculously close!

What settings did you have? Pickup(s)? Piezo?

 

[hankSRay]

Nice playing and tone Andrew. What coils are you using?

I can't play it too loud here at work but I thought it sounded pretty good. Nice job.
