This is interesting, I was just reading a post about someone wanting to put Chromes on their Ray, and someone posted this video from youtube of a Ray with flatwounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho42fxFsE6M I listed to it and almost at the very end of the vid, around 1:50, you can hear...

That is one of my fears, that it won't go away regardless of string :-( in that case, it may be a technique issue, which I suppose would just force me to get better as a player. I guess I'm hoping that I can resolve it with a quick fix, and still play the way I have been, as I really like the...

OP here, thanks for all the good info guys! I'm goona head over and try out the lo riders later this week, as this afternoon I tried everything, raising the action, loosening the neck tension, and lowering the pickups, nothing really worked. Finally I turned my bass up and the treble way down...

I play mostly modern alt rock fingerstyle with my Musicman 5 string 'Ray, and I am using the stock Ernie Ball strings that came with it. However, lately I have been noticing that I tend to really dig in on many of my bands songs live to get a more aggressive tone that I like, which creates a...

No, my stingray is staying. I have a couple other basses that I don't really use much anymore, that will at least pay off a large chunk of the sad cost. But the Ray is staying for sure, I absolutely love that bass.

Thanks for the replies all! Everything I've seen and read about this bass makes me think it will be a sweet player for my music. I want it so bad (mega gas attack!) and the store that has it offers no interest financing (they are killing me lol) but I have to force myself to wait until I sell my...

Hey all, I own a Musicman 5 Stingray (2 pickup double coil version, I use the switch in center postion), and I absolutely love it. It's growly, punchy tone rips right through my guitarist's full stack marshalls in the mix; and gives me a great bass heavy, but still clear tone for my groves and...

Meh, I don't like most of the cougers on here, but to each his own I say. I never said I wanted to see anything in the pedophile category, nor did I see anything on here that fell into that. You made the comment that you wanted AT LEAST +25 year olds in your original post because younger...

I have to disagree. I look at too many of the cougers that people post on here and am kinda grossed out. I think it's great to have some actual attractive young girls on here. Two things really, 1) your fault for having kids, those of us childless folks and others who can sepeate their daughters...

3/10 But I'm a young buck who hasn't even heard of many of those people.

Among all the ones I've seen, the one that spoke to me the most I saw like 6 months ago, and subsequently purchased one of these blue beauties for my very own:

OP here. Wow excellent post. I never thought of it like that, Since I'm going to figure it out out anyway, so why NOT give me the chords to see what I am capable of doing with them? That really makes sense. I am finding that I have to almost guess the chord sometimes though 3 distorted guitars...

I am the OP. Let me clairify a few things. The incident with the band that I asked for the chords from occured about a month ago (not the current one giving me 2 weeks) and they gave me 3 days to learn 2 songs. As I said in my original post, which some of you failed to read by even...

OP here. Thanks for all the constructive help guys, I really appreciate the collective experience at work :D I think I'll just run with the songs by ear, give them as close to what they are used to as I can (I may try fingerstyle and ask them in the audition if they would rather I use a pick if...

Hey all, I am currently in the process of auditioning for bands and I am running in to a method of auditioning bassists that I need help understanding. This is the second band I have spoken to who is using this method, so it seems to be at least a little popular. The method is this: they send...
