Okay, I’ve owned several Stingrays over the years, never more than one at a time. All 5-strings, 4 ceramic 3-bands, a 2011 Alnico 3-band, and 2 Specials. And I’ve played several examples of other Stingrays (A ‘79 that I replaced the preamp in, a very cool, unique tone, very heavy), Classics...

A couple of years ago, I wanted to install a J Retro Deluxe in the Lull I had at the time after trying a couple of different preamps (one a Trickfish IPA) But I needed gold hardware on the preamp and East said there were no gold hardware models for the foreseeable future. Bummer. But the...

If I couldn’t take my Stingray, I’d take the Jazz. Because I don’t want it to sound like an MTD.

Mine is now. Sold or selling everything else.

So very nice!
