If you could have any two Musicman Basses...

[TheAntMan]

1) Bongo 4HH
2) StingRay 4HH

Oh, Yeah, baby!!!

 

[Bass Control]

Bongo 6 HS in Cabernet Pearl
Bongo 6 H in Olive Gold

working on funding both of them at the moment.

 

[the unrepentant]

If i could have any two basses it would probably be:

A sterling 4H for that stingrayish sound but a nice fast neck but no pickup to get in the way of slapping

And a bongo 5 HH just for that awesome versatile bongo sound in 5 string version

 

[mathewsanchez]

1. Blue Dawn Bongo 4H

2. Buttercream and Tort 3 coil (Al) Bass

3. And a stingray cos you gotta have a stingray even if your breaking the rules of the thread

 

[jaylegroove]

SR4, single H, rosewood, natural
SR5, single H, maple, honey burst

 

[phat5]

MY Bongo 5HH and a Sterling 5HH would be a great addition

 

[your idol]

maple neck sr5 hs..buttercream...mmmm

[thunder]

[MK Bass Weed]

SR 4 HH with Rounds
Sterling 4 HS with Flats

or the other way around, no wait, that way

I saw your thread title and immediately had an answer but then I read your initial post and saw my answer was invalid.


My easy first choice would be the Stingray 5 HH with roundwounds I have now:

My easy second choice would have been a lined fretless Stingray 5 Hp. But if I really can't have that one (again, I'm using a smiley ) then I'd go with a fretted Stingray 5 Hp with flats.


EDIT - The original post in this thread was modified to allow fretlesses, so my second choice is what I originally stated - a lined fretless Stingray 5Hp. If it was a honeyburst with a tortise shell pickguard to match the one I have now, even better!

 

[freddy]

1. SR5 HH with flats
2. SR5 H fretless with roundwounds- DISALLOWED!!

Substitution:

2. SR5 H with roundwounds (which I already have but I'll get the frets removed-ok?)

It would be interesting to hear BP's choice...

 

[oli@bass]

1.) StingRay 4 HH

Well... because of the rules (no fretless) there's nothing really necessary after that one... but if I have to choose a second one it's really tough... candidates would be:

- StingRay 4 HS (to cover the single coil sounds)
- 2006 StingRay 30th Anniversary (for a big lower midrange and ringing harmonics)
- 1996 StingRay 20th Anniversary (for their very nice upper mid growl)
- 1993 StingRay 4 with 2 Band EQ, (for bridge with mutes and straight pull over saddles)
- Bongo 4 HH Stealth (something completely different)

Can't decide... would probably go for flexibility and take the StingRay 4 HS or play save and take

2.) a classic StingRay 4 H (how boring... I'm disappointed in myself)


BTW, also interesting is that if I could only have one or two, I'd go for more classic colour choices like black and white instead of Desert Gold and Lava Pearl...

SR5 H fretless with roundwounds- DISALLOWED!!

uhm... long as you got pau ferro you are (fairly) home safe with roundwounds on a fretless.. i love the mjahhuvvh you get from those!!!

a fretless must be tried with roundwounds and a bongo must be tried with flats!

I would like to add a Sterling H/S 4 with maple or rosewood someday.
