Damn this one trick sparkle pony...

[r goldsmith]

...can do anything

I dragged her out for a series of gigs in my covers band. Through my Eden rig this does it all, from disco classics, classic rock through to Beyonce and back, Aretha, old school retro thump etc. You name it, it addresses all my needs:

I don't seem to be able to progress beyond the concept of one pickup:

Beyonce is great, and the bass as well, seeing this silver, I hope one of the 'classic' colors will be inca silver, such a great color for Stingrays

 

[T Alan]

Gorgeous!

...Beyonce and the bass.

 

[Big Poppa]

I know what you mean! My 4 MMs are all one pickup and four strings and they will play any type of music. By the way, stingrays rule! Nice collection of maple fretboards!

I know it has been said before that the sparkles don't sell, but it's a shame because they look so good!

 

[Duarte]

I love sparkles.

 

[the unrepentant]

[MrMusashi]

Maybe! i didn't try using a flash, and i'm not in a band, so no sparkly sparkle for me Not sure it would look right in a metal band anyway

Love the SR4Hs and that silver sparkle..............

PS Unrepentant your sequoia should sparkle nicely under lights (or even out in the daylight)

 

[MrMusashi]

i would guess its a bit like blue dawn, not sparkly at all in normal light, but if you take it out in the sun or use a flash... heheh

[the unrepentant]

cool, might have a play with a flash at some point

Órale Goldsmith, GREAT basses!
The one thing that has alway's got my goat all these year's is the proverbial "This bass does only one tone, but does it good, One trick pony" jazz... BUT, I alway's believed this Stingray could do it all, and has for me for the past 27 year's. It all in the hand's, make that bass do what you want, and any style!

 

[DTG]

yup i play everything from waltz to rock and use my sr5 H,its killer

 

[AtomicPunk]

Man, I know I'm kinda cheap and trashy and flashy, but no matter what anyone else says, I love the sparkle.

 

[RobertB]

gotta love a sparkly silver ray

 

[Gordon of Eden]

Sparkles? Don't know what your talkin' bout

i think the one trick pony myth is about to get worse with the advent of youtube and kids filming themselves demoing a highly complicated bass at their local guitar centers. tons of folks with just "hey, im gonna push all these knobs ALL THE WAY UP!" theres so much you can do with the thing. its nuts!
