Hello All.
I posted a few months ago when I was looking for a new bass rig that would give me extreme thick low ends for the reggae/rocksteady I am playing...I received a lot of good feedback that I was really appreciative of. I ended up sticking with my Ampeg SVT Classic w/ 8 x 10's.
In addition to the Stingray that I've had since about 1995 with a single humbucker I just purchased a Hohner 5 string headless. I was amazed that for a little under $1,000.00 (including improved pickups and preamp installed) the Hohner sounded way better than my Stingray!!!
I have been trying to get comfortable with the new Low B that has entered my life, but it's just not happening
So...I've decided to sell both my Hohner and my Stingray and am going to purchase 1 new axe that I hope will send me to fatman bass player heaven...
Am I going to hear a BIG difference between the new stingray (with dual humbuckers) and my old stingray (with the single humbucker)? Obviously I have to play a new guitar before I purchase it but just wanted to get some opinions from you Ernie Ball enthusiasts.
I have also been reading about the Bongo. Is that the more fatman bass sound that I am looking for (compared to the Stingray)?
This might be an evil question, but does anybody have an opinion on the ever-so-famous Fender Bass? Are these guitars really that good? I know they are certainly popular. Many of the Reggae bass musicians that I have enjoyed over the years play Fenders...
Thanks for any comments.
