    Anybody Play a Stingray with a Super Synth?

    I'm thinking about picking up a Markbass Supersynth, but I was wondering if anybody uses it with a Stingray. I have noticed that "tracking" pedals don't work all that well with my 4 string Ray. I don't know if I have ridiculous expectations, but my EBS Octabass doesn't track very well with it...

    Ampeg 15 Classic Cab - Should I jump on it?
