Nice sounding group I recently discovered.

the tag says 77, and that looks like a ray to me.

 

[fidooda]

you telling me you never heard pick up the pieces before?


very nice ray

 

[Caca de Kick]

Really????

This song is played like everyday on the oldies and smooth jazz stations for decades.

I see two StingRays there; the one the bassist is playing, and a sunburst one on sitting on the stand.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Of course, it's an "average white .... ray!" lol

Cool, love that band.

I like the nice and shiny maple fretboard. What ever happened to them?

+1. I saw them about ten days ago at BB King's in NYC. Great show (and a great venue...go if you get the chance).

Alan definitely has the Jack Nicholson thing goin' on these days....

Maybe he's not as old as us...

The song is well played, but I never cared for it much. A bit tedious for me, I guess.

I'm only 18, guys. Still a youngin.



But I do love me some funky music.
Yeah, I'd heard the song before, just now sort of discovered who plays it.

I like the groove of that song but always thought it could have been cut by about a third...like a lot of songs, the core of it is too short, so they just play it through over and over.

 

[RockinRayDuke]

Never too late to discover the good stuff.

 

[MrMusashi]

take a listen to schoolboy crush or person to person... awesome funk lines (even if played with a plectrum.. hehe)

This takes me waaayy back. AWB were staples on shows like "Don Krishner's Rock Concert" and "The Midnight Special". I always remember and think of them with a Stingray and was not surprised years later when I saw Paul McCartney's 91 tour with Hamish Stuart switching between bass and guitar That he (Hamish) was playing an SR5.

Some great close-ups there of the 'Ray.
Good work from the cameraman! Usually I'm frustrated trying to get a good look...

LOL! At a quick glance he looks exactly like Nicholson! Not a bad thing I think.
