Is a Bartolini mv5cbc pickup a drop in installation on a Stingray 5 piezo? First timer thanks for any help.....

Hmmm.....

just got another stingray 5 piezo and was thinking of trying a emg in this one but keep the EB preamp... thoughts???

In my 30 yrs of playing I have never really run accross the need to use an effects unit. Other than a chorus on a couple of Yes songs...But I'm looking into maybe getting one. Like the Boss GT 6B...or something...I've read reviews on the GT6B and they are pretty good other than it's learning...

Being lead vocals in 2 bands keeps my personal practice time way up there. I miss just being the bass player:(.......With that aside you should learn a tune and have it a close as you can get it before rehearsal. Once you start to slack on practice and learning music you will fall into a trap...

2 SR5 Piezo's ....All I've ever needed.

Two guitars and a drummer for me also.....if you play bass we will have the greatest band that south Baltimore has ever seen LOL :( .....Got hooked and never looked back. Geddy Lee Chris Squire Steve Harris Billy Sheehan Stu Hamm

I have massive punch with my stingray5 piezo's playing with my fingers. Get a stingray and an SVT and you will be set for life.....

We have our own PA. 12,000 watt mains,5 mixes,lights,truck,blahblahblah....We did play a large show at the Delaware State Fair where we did use IEM's. "Out of sorts" is good wording for our situation. Me personally,I'm hooked on that SVT sound!!!! Luckily my band mates said that they missed the...

I swear by them. I have them on all of my Stingrays. They last forever!!!!!!

The guitar player in most cases can hear the vocal parts in the chords that they are playing. Bass players don't have that luxury. Also the guitar player doesn't have to pay close attention to the kick in most cases either. In some cases my vocal capabilites have become a detriment to my...

What difference does it make if you use a tab or not? All that matters is that what you are playing on stage is right. Joe Blow from around the corner that is seeing your act for the first time doesn't give 2 sh*ts how you learned to play it. All that they care is that I saw this band last night...

Everyone here has pretty much said it right. What do you have to lose? Surround your self with all that blow you away. Go to a show with a bassist that you like. Ask him if you can tech for him. Most of the time you probably will be able to. Most of the time the bass player is the coolest and...

I've tried to find a reason to like the Bongos. But in my opinion their playability lacks. Next to a Stingray anyway. Plus they are very ugly..LOL
