NBD: Another StingRay in Canada's Arctic

[Northray]

I just snagged a Classic StingRay 4 in Lake Tahoe Blue during my Spring Break travels.... wow! A totally different vibe than my regular StingRay. I played around on a Markbass CMD 102 combo at the store and was really impressed with the classic 2 band eq - very smooth. I'm a "set it, forget it" guy, so this bass is the prefect fit. I LOVE the look of the wood in the neck -amazing!

Currently playing in a classic country band.... Despite the funk/slap cliche, I can honestly say that the StingRay is an AWESOME country bass!

Since I don't have any pictures yet, I am aware that my bass doesn't "technically" exist.... but wait until I get a camera handy!

Playin' some old Hank Williams, Sr. and Ray Price... gotta start getting the hang of those string mutes....

I also am proud to Play my Music Man Basses playing Johnny Paycheck, George Jones, Wynn Stewart, Mel Street, Alan Frizzell, Mr Hag, Tony Booth and yes nothing cuts like these Music Man Basses.

If anyone tells you your Music Mans aren't "country," make 'em watch this video:

Great colour - Lake Tahoe Blue
Btw - I played with a country band back in the early 80ies. The Ray did a fine job.

I play my SR Classic with a singer/songwriter. Perfect and definitely not slappity pop.
