I've gotten into Stingrays this year after playing a long time, and I purchased a Stingray Special 4 HH fretless and it is the bomb. The tone is so good, the feel is excellent, it's beautiful, and it weighs 8.25 lbs. Pics attached.

I like the Labella low tension flats. They do make them short string.

I saw her at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2014. I had not heard of her before that. She is an incredible talent.

Wow congrats! What a way to celebrate.

I agreed about the finish. EBMM has a lot of nice finishes but this is not one of them. I just got a stingray 4 HH in trans teal and it is sweet.

Thanks for all of your responses. I play the Fallout because it sounds great. I do have a 34" fretted G&L SB-1 I could play, sounds good but not as versatile. I am going to try switching between scales as I am doing now. If I put in enough practice time I should be ok. We'll see.

I've been playing fretless on and off for years, but just got a Stingray fretless and am putting on a push to play fretless better and hopefully even play it live with my band. My question is this: I've been playing my fretted G&L Fallout 30" scale bass with my band, and of course the Ray is...

Yes it has roasted maple neck and Pao Ferro fingerboard.
