Hi. Depends on a lot of things. Basically; Nothing sounds exactly like a Stingray (especially the new MM 18v special). I have owned 5 (I think) Rays, and tried lots more. You have the Original vs Ernie Ball problem, two or three way EQ discussion etc. My to stay Stingray (Stealth 4H) on arrival...

Ah, I see, You want this one. As a singer once told me: No, no brown basses!

Pure Sound GR One 350 or 800w. A Step up from Markbass (I went from BH250 to LM3 to GR. Very precise and clear. Light weight cabs: I use the MB 102 traveller. 13kg. Again; precise, not too expensive.

Sorry, but a white one was necessary too.

I must admit I was seduced by bassporn. A fellow bassist sent me a picture and that was all she wrote. Luckily the bass (and Polly, the maker) is great.

They have two options: Solid aluminium body or wood with a big plate of aluminium set into the top. I have the plate option. You can easily see where the plate is inset on the upper parts of the body. The wood body (and I think the aluminium) is chambered somewhat because of weight. Much lighter...

Not asymmetrical (I think), but very easy to play. Same general feel as Stingray but comfortably less chunky. I would say sweetly between Jazz and Prec.

Thank You. Yes, with these pups in those places, 5way selector and active/passive anything is possible (except boring). Did I mention that the neck is slim (but not anemic), fretboard 1mm narrower than Stingray and the paintjob/frets/fretboard are perfect?

I got one this spring. None more Black Django (Picture) with active electronics (switchable), carbon rods in neck, black alu plate in front, side jack, 3 way EQ with center click. It has taken over for my MM Stingray Stealth as my main instrument. Low action, extremely stable neck. Very...

A really interesting question. 40 years of playing has seen a lot of basses. The last 6 years only Stingray types, as they check all boxes. My Ray34 is a very good bass. My EBMM Stealth has a better neck and preamp. However, as soon as I got my EBMM, I had to change the pickup, because the...

Mira (5) and Birk (11 and a rescue), Manchester Terriers, both spoilt rotten, but we love them. Cheers from Norway.

Never to late to get a Stingray:-)

Old tread, but here is my experience: stingrays are different from each other. Some have weak spots, others do not. Must try before bying. When the whole string is weak (dead), that is not a resonance problem, It is the pickup. Some Stingrays have stacked poles (lower on the G and E): bad idea...

Stingray Stealth 4H and Warwich Streamer stage 1 1984. Have had many bassguitars since around 1980, allways come back to the Stingray. The Streamer is a work of art, Stingrays are tools that Get the job done. Rock, hard rock, funk,disco.

Thanks, but I am in Europe. Probably will end up with a couple of GR 210 cabs. They seem to have a wider spectrum than the ones I have.
