Stingray sighting last night.

[bassmonkey]

Went to a local band night last night. A band called Odd Shaped Head were playing (http://www.oddshapedhead.com). They were very good. The bass player/singer had a white SR4. I had a chat with him after, he'd recently got it and was loving it. He was using a GK 1001-RB head too. Sweet tone.

Nice avatar, your own design?

Can't beat a 'Ray going through a GK!

Nope, a very kind and talented forumite did it for me. Don't know whether you can see, but the Monkey is holding a Bongo 5.

 

[LowDownDave]

Knew it was a bongo, but must admit I didn't go as far as to actually count the tuning pegs!

I remember you were looking for a suitable avatar, so "nice design", unknown forumite artiste.

unknown forumite artiste.

It was midopa.

So, back on topic, what do you think of the band.

What about a Ray going through a Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 & a Mesa Boogie Powerouse 4x10 ???????

Cool band, I like White StingRay's - A while ago someone posted a Trans White StingRay with a Rosewood fretboard, OMG that bass was Beautiful!!!
I love the white with the wood showing though.

I'm sure that's unreal, too. I'd imagine that a 'Ray running through just about anything will sound massive & rumble the building!

 

[EBMM7181]

Yes Bill, 'Rays are amazing basses, and they sound great running through just about anything. My dad just bought a Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 and a Mesa Boogie 4x10 cab. It sounds awesome. It sounds a lot like an Ampeg SVT, but brighter, and hotter. Because its a hybrid amp, half tube, half solid state.
But I'm still undecided on what bass amp to buy
GK
Mesa
Eden

Tough choice, though i was very impressed with my dads Mesa

 

[Bill]

Yeah, you really can't go wrong! If I was looking, I'd definitely try those 3 brands.

I tried my 30th through that exact combination and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SOOOOO CLEAR CUT AND SMOOTH AND DEEP AND EVERYTHING BASS TONE SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!

i think i might've creamed my jeans playing it

That's a Big Block 750 Mesa with a Sabine tuner and Phonic power conditioner. And it does sound awesome with the 30th Ray plugged through it!
