how does the stingray compare to other similar bolt ons?

Did I mention that I wouldn't urinate on Flea even if he were on fire?

you don't think mark's dogging on me just to be a dick?

and talk what way? i didn't really say anything terrible.

seriously if you guys are like this, i don't really give a **** if i get banned. i just came to ask about opinions on the stingray.

1. Mark is not dogging you. He gave you GREAT info in his first post.
2. 9 posts and you're calling someone names because he made a funny joke?
3. Ask nicer.
4. Are you related to Nick?

You mean on fire from a flurried round of slapping and popping, right?

No, in that case I probably would urinate on him.

Either that or from burning his Carvin basses

(Sorry I couldn't help myself - I have no discipline. )

I owned a pimped out Carvin LB-75, with the 5 piece neck through body and koa wings. It was an exceedingly beautiful bass, and sounded pretty nice. That being said, I don't personally believe that it stands at the same level of quality as the EB/MM basses. Of course, having owned as many MM's as I have, I'm obviously biased.

To answer the original question, the Stingray/Sterling/Bongo, etc will be great for rock. I'd also consider a G&L L-2000, Fender P-Bass, etc, but the Music Man basses do it for me. I've owned a *whole* lot of other basses to end up where I'm at now with a Stingray and Bongo.

The stingray is an all around great instrument. IMO no other bass can compare to the feel, looks, and tone of a ray (cept a sterling or bongo). If you're worried about versatility I can see your point. I thought that mine pretty much sounded the same no matter how I set my EQ (which i loved anyway) but then when I tried it in a live band setting, I was floored. It easily fits in any kind of music and still cuts through the mix. you cant go wrong with it

This thread is done. I banned myunghoonie. We don't need jerks like him here.
