    NBsD - Stingray Edition

    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...

    Pro vs Amateur

    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

    Pro vs Amateur

    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"?

    2-Band Stingray Owners - What's your instrument EQ setting?

    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...

    Does your band follow a set list?

    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

    Does your band follow a set list?

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

    Suggestions wanted to protect the back of my bass!

    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

    Guitar Doubling Live

    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...

    Number One vs Bass Rotation—which is you?

    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...

    Main bass

    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...

    the eternal dilemma - Rickenbacker 4003 or 4003s? does the lack of binding help?

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

    Hey UPS, 'dimensional weight' is not a thing.

    It has nothing to do with pirate ship. It has to do with UPS scanners. If they scan different than what you entered when you bought the label, you get charged. It doesn't matter where you bought the label

    Hey UPS, 'dimensional weight' is not a thing.

    UPS needs to make a minimum amount to ship a truck full of boxes. You are basically paying for the dimensions (up to a certain weight) If it is exceptionally heavy (full of anvils) you will pay more. The same size box weighing 1 lb, 5 lbs, 10 lbs and 15 lbs will all cost the same because they...

    AITA for wanting to maintain control of my band?

    I have 2 bands, and 80's tribute and a country/classic rock band. Both are MY bands. This has been stated clearly, so now it never gets brought up. I pretty much do everything except play. I book most gigs, supply the PA (everyone helps set up and tear down) and I pay all band expenses. I get an...

    Pickguard or naked?

    I have this bass, but that bugs me too. What makes it worse is that the 5 string version IS rear routed, but the 4 string has the plate :(

    Bongo vs Dingwall

    I honestly can't remember...it was a custom set from Kalium maybe? Point is you don't need a big floppy string when it's a 37" scale length

    Bongo vs Dingwall

    My experience, FWIW: I have 6 Stingrays currently. 1 5 string, the rest are 4's. two of those are fretless. They would be my number one's had I not acquired a couple of Kubicki Ex-Factor's. I bought a Bongo a few years ago thinking that if I liked Stingrays I would like the Bongo. That ended up...

    Lessons learned from Bands in General

    This can be an issue whether people have other bands or just other things to do. Either way a good band calendar should help avoid this issue. I can take a gig on the spot even though more than half my band members have other bands. I look at the calendar, and if people are free, I book it. No...
