Anyone get sick of the stingray tone?

[Steve Dude Barr]

(Can't, though - it was a gift from She Who Must Be Obeyed.)

Yup, sorry Jack..you're stuck with that one....Dee and I split for good after I sold Tom Petersson's green T-Bird she bought me for Christmas one yer.

Sick of my bandmates saying 'that's basically a P-Bass.'
That's the only thing I'm sick of.

Shut 'em up.

Buy a Bongo.

In case you thought it was in my head...another vote for Chick Magnet. My god does your wife have good taste (at least in some men) I LOVE THOSE 56TH STREET BABES.....The river jetty does domething to them.

FOr those of you that are unfamiliar with The california beach scene........Im sorry

Lets look at this...Olorin has a wife that is:

24
surfs (goofy footed to boot, Chuck that is the surfing eq to left handzia)
likes bald guys
buys her husband $5,000.00 basses.......

Why are you guys in Boston? Come home ET

Her parents got cash BP...thats how she got the MTD...I would love to come back home, but I work for the Chandra X- ray observatory out here in Cambridge and they pay the bills WELL...As soon as I find an open position flying satellites out in Cali, I am there!!! She got me the MTD as a gift, when she was all newlywed and all that...In return, I got her knocked up...LOL!!! You guys out west do not even know the misery of the new england winters.....STAY IN CALI!!! DARGIE DELIGHT UPDATES!!!!???Jus sold my Silo on the bay to help finance this one.

I just love the Stingray tone. So good, sits well in any mix.

I've only just started using a Stringray (a 2005 LTD Buttercream SR4HH/Rosewood) but I've been a Jazz bass player for some time now.

I still love the tone and feel of a Jazz bass but my Stingray cuts through the mix like nothing else that I have used before. I got a lot of compliments from my bandmates. Plus, my Stingray is top-notch in the quality department.

One last thing, even though my Stingray is an HH, I find myself using the position 1 setting the most. I really don't think I'm going to get tired of the tone.

+1, the other positions sound great but
position 1 works best for me most of the
time.

Anyone? I know its starting to get to me. Im wanting a jazz agian.

Try turning the knobs. I find any slight turn of any knob on my SR4H will noticably change the tone.

I use to only play jazz basses but since I got my first EBMM bass I don't even take out my JB anymore. I even went to the local GC to check out the AeroDyne JB. I loved that bass. Then I saw that ugly thing called a "Bongo" and said "what the heck?". I tried that bass and have never looked back! I now have 2 Bongos, 1 StingRay and as soon as I can get the $$$ I will get a SR 4HH.

I can't even believe you posted this If you really feel that way then go get a JB and be happy.

Good luck.
