NBD: EBMM Cliff Williams Stingray Signature

[MesoBoogie]

A guy from Craigslist showed up at my house last week with this bass, came over to try out an amp I was selling. Told me he didn't even play bass.

Did I mention he sells Yachts for a living.

Bass was great though, tried to trade one of my kids for it, congrats!

I read your post and then listened to the new ACDC album. I'm assuming he used his trademark stingray for the recording? Anyone know?

XXXX and Vic Bitters aye mate?

Nope, and nope. They're both for yobbos (rednecks). Only imported booteek beers for me.

Did the original bass also have the truss rod sticking up out of the hole?

You've been posting about this bass for like a month now and you still don't realize it's a replica?

Good question. I'd be curious to know if it was featured on the Power Up album as well, and if it was which tracks?

Congrats! Here's an obligatory "what does it weight" question.

No, I've been too busy trying learn the bass tab of his monster chops.

Of course.

No Australian drinks Fosters. It's just something that gets exported to those who don't know better. Anyway, Cliff is a Brit.

Oh BTW, cool bass.

Kind of like Outback Restaurants here. As a kid, I remember how huge those cans were. Bang for the buck. Not what I would call a great beer but on par with a Bud, Miller, Coors and so on.

Had I known about the charity pricing, I would have never commented on the price.

Man I love me a Stingray. And I love Cliff. So that means I love your Stingray - congrats and enjoy. What a beauty!

 

[bass4u]

Congrats! It looks perfect.

. And it seems you finally finished reading "Trolling for Idiots"

 

[JRA]

hope it plays for you, OP! congratulations on your new instrument!

I think it's awesome! I'm a big fan of ACDC. The proceeds going to charity is really commendable even if they are covering there expenses. I also think people can spend there money on whatever they want...who am I to judge?
Have fun with that Rocker! We salute you!

Cheers!

LOL! Someone hasn't had their coffee yet!

By the way I asked a legitimate question and that other guy brought me back into the same discussion....so don't blame me. Just trying to have fun w it.

I picked up the virtual issue of the Bass Player magazine Cliff just appeared in. He explains that Power Up was recorded with a Stingray (probably his main and not the new replica), mic'ed Ampeg, an Avalon U5 DI, and one other DI for a blend of signals.

It really seemed like you were just trying to troll a dude's NBD post seeing as you already spent a bunch of time posting about this instrument in another thread. I assumed from your previous experience discussing this instrument you would have realized it's a replica. Do you still not understand that it is a replica?

Can confirm. Excellent replica. Also, it's a great blunt instrument for thunderstruckin' trolls.

. Sooo then he trolled YOU! There's a difference between having fun and being annoying! And there's a difference between acting like an adult and acting like a child! Have a nice day.
