stingray vs ray34.

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm not a great bass play, I'm fine.
I'm playing for 2 years now, well... 3, but I didn't really play one of those years.

I'm going to buy a new bass on the 10th, and it's 99% going to be a stingray.
I don't know if I should take the stingray, or the ray34?

as I said, I'm not a great player, and I don't know if I earned, or need the stingray.
One thing I'm sure about, if I won't get it now, I'll get it a year from now.

I'm asking here if you think that you have to "earn" gear, or as long as you can afford it, you should go for it..?

I am a sucky player. I bought a stingray on the fifth. Now I am a happy man.

I bought a stingray after my first 6 months of playing. Great bass recorded an album with it later. I almost bought a ray34 but found a good deal on used stingray on Craigslist instead.

I'm going to buy and new bass, since I can play only with my credit card.
I have no cash in hand right now, and I can't stay without a bass.

My son has been playing bass for a year and he's been learning very fast. I bought him one of those Fender Bass Packs which came with a Precision.

Now it's time to get him a better quality bass, so he's getting a new SBMM Ray34CA in 3 Tone Sunburst for Christmas. These are excellent quality instruments that sound as good as the EBMM versions.

If you by can afford the EBMM, go for it. If not you won't be disappointed with the SBMM.

ברכות לך אחי! Either way you can't go wrong but I love the U.S. Stingrays as you have more options available and wonderful customer support.

If I find a Ray34ca that is lighter than my 9lb Stingray, I will be sorely tempted to switch. So far, I have only encounted heavier ones.

I wouldn't rule ot the Ray 34. If I were so inclined, I would go with a Ray 35!
