100% Musicmans?

[Stingraymund]

How many of you have nothing but Musicman basses?

Call me a freak but the Stingray family is the bass for me.
In addition to my Stingray5 and Stingray4 fretless, I'm currently GASing for a Stingray 4 fretted with a maple neck. Not too urgent, but it seems to be next on the list (the Peavey Cirrus5, Warwick Thumb and '62 P-Bass are a distant 2,3 and 4, respectively )

The SR5 would be my main bass, the fretless SR4 would be my MWAH machine and the fretted SR4 would be my Weapon of Slap Destruction. I just love the string spacing on the SR4, I slap on the fretless (mellow P-bass style slap) and I slap on the SR5 (great tone, but I keep knocking that B )

I've ruled out the Bongo...that damn neck pickup doesn't allow me to pop any strings

Damn you Music Man! If only you made the SR5 with a wider neck and string spacing I wouldn't have this problem! Garrrrrgh!!!

 

[bovinehost]

Nope, not here.

I have the three Bongos and a Stingray 4.

I have two Reverend Rumblefish, a Brad Houser Sig Model and a 5L.

Then I have a 62 RI Jazz and a Custom Shop NOS 1964 Jazz.

I have some bass money to spend, but I'm in an odd spot - can't think of what I want!

 

[midopa]

Bovine, I think it's time you got yourself a stand up electric bass!

 

[mylkinut]

Not me, I only have one Musicman (SR4), but I'm saving for a SR5.

I also have a 1977 Fender P-Bass, a Warwick Rockbass and a few others

[Disquieter]

all musicman here..

03 burnt apple stingray with rosewood board, 3eq.

78 stingray natural maple neck 2eq (obviously).


I've had:
tobias
warwick
fender
alembic (miss that one... )
ibanez
yamaha

some where nice, some where not. the alembic was great....no idea what model. But it was a 4 string, neckthru with a kahler trem on it, super sweet.

but all in all, stingrays get me the tone i want and the feel i want.

Who could ask for anything more (except more stingrays).

I dont actually have a bass, But i might get one this summer, and are there any kind of cheap EB basses that would be good to buy?

An EB bass would be great as a first instrument, but I doubt there are many of us who started on one.

You'd be better off getting something like an OLP and getting out there playing than saving up.
