One Trick Pony?

[TGL]

Uh the heck OH !!

Hated Jacos tone???? OH Boy - that opens a can of worms. But I won't go there. Well....... How about............... Naw.............. okay.......... No I won't say anything . I got to talk to Jaco once. I didn't know who he was at the time.

Anybody who calls a Stingray a one trick Pony probably doesn't realize it is a Racehorse that you just have to know how to use..I can get most any tone I need from mine and I have NEVER had anyone complain or ask me to use another bass!

Peace,

The Man

Well everyone is allowed an opinion. I happen to think Jaco had a nice sound. I heard him live in a bar once and he just blew the walls out. I guess Jaco is not for everyone. I'll keep him as my little secret.:

That's is probably the best and most unique "influence" I've ever heard from a bassist, but it just makes way too much sense.

Love it.

One of the better pro players in town (he plays an upright and custom hand made basses) came up to the stage after church here a while back.He asked to play my SR5 H.He sat down and started to play, he rolled a little bottom end off,boosted the mids.... you should have seen his face,almost like being in a trance, almost drooling.Did not say a word,he didn't have to, so after about 20 minutes he says...... man that really does do the trick

IMO, the bass/amp is only part of the tone equation. Well-trained hands can make any bass sound diverse.

You are right indeedy - however it beats quite a lot of people here including me, how anyone can think a Stingray H is a one trick pony (unless their playing is not up to much - even a beginner can get several different sounds out of one!)

I have one exactly like this. I'm pretty sure it's designed to drive nails into wood. I've discovered it can also pull those nails back out. One time I used it to prop open a door. Another time, I killed a spider with it.

I tell you, it's a simple design, but the list of things one could do with such a thing grows ever longer.

It is perfect for opening beerbottles too, btw.

Mine does a great job on thumbs

Nice!

The spider-killing surface on that device is fairly small, so your aim must be true
(or the spider must be slow).

And a StingRay is a very versatile bass; I've heard them used beautifully in jazz, rock, funk, country, blues, Soul, etc.

Not the best Polka-Fest basses, tho I must admit. That would be best suited for the 25th Anniv. H/S.
Reasons too long to list....

And if this one doesn't work, get a bigger one!

Will this be a new color offering for NAMM?
