i agree. I prefer the classic 2 band t all of them. Then the Special. I am not a fan of the pre Special 3 band at all. I have one stingray that had that preamp and i swapped it for a 2 band copy. I'm at 7 Stingrays now. 3 Specials (one fretless) 2 classic 4 string, one classic 5 string and a...

So Sad. :( I was supposed to go see them in a few hours...

There are only a couple like that. No, they do not take sound or lights out of that. Those few people are busy all the time and it is their full time job. Many of those gigs are not local. Other than that, the market here sucks. Bars pay 300 (or less)-600

I Know of a couple of bands around here that get a minimum of $10,000-$15,000 per gig doing covers, so what do you consider "What not"?

Then you haven't had a Stingray Classic. The standard of a few years ago had a three band preamp with the center detent, as does the new Special. The classic had a 2 band without center detent. ( I assume the current Retro 70's is the same, but I'm not sure) This one is by far the best sounding...

I see people say this all the time. What specifically are the things you are changing. Ill admit i might add or take away slow songs occasionally if there are more couples or none, but thats about it. honestly curious what it is people feel the need to change based on the crowd

Always. We might skip a song, or occasionally do a request, but we follow the list.

Today next door to my work it is $4.19. This place is usually on the higher end for the area

I Just bought some of this for almost the same reason. Not quite as drastic in my case. I haven't applied it yet but it seems pretty tough and is quite thick https://reverb.com/item/70020214-the-backguard-protect-the-back-of-poly-finished-guitars-from-buckles-buttons-etc-adds-comfort

That's not me on keyboards...

You said you used an octave pedal but im not sure how you used it. most people I think would start playing higher on the bass and use a sub octave to fill in the lower notes. Personally I am not a fan of that approach. I don't want the bass sound to change. I use an octave pedal to fill in in my...

Rotation. In my country band i almost eclusively play Kubicki ex-factors, but in my 80's band could be Rick 4003, and one of 3 Stingrays, Modulus VJ, Bc Rich, or a few others. Depends on the mood and stage space. BC Rich weighs more and has the long pointy headstock so not as good for tight...

I have 26. For my country band I use exclusively Kubicki Ex factor's because I need the low D so often. I will rehearse with one of the three that I have. For my 80's band I rehearse with whatever I feel like that day. Could be A Ric, Stingray, Peavey Sarzo, BC Rich, or occasionaly something...

I got $27.5 but I rounded down to 37 attendees per band not up to 38

I like the 4003, for purely cosmetic reasons. I would probably buy a 4003s body with the 4003 neck if that were a thing
