nice bass. So is the 2 band in this ray the same as the one used in the classic series? Im still stoked about the deals I got on both my rays. $1050 for a 3 band and $929 for the classic.

Looks fantastic, congrats!

Yes. a couple very minor hardware changes over the years, but the same circut since the 80's

 

[spaz21387]

that's really cool they still use the same circuit!

Beautiful color combo!!

Yeah, my girlfriend said the red/black was fetching, and I agree! She helped pick it out

I feel like I've joined a family! I'll check out the links you've given me.

You have brother! Can I "borrow" a grand?....

 

[NeonVomit]

Sure thing. Will Monopoly money do?

 

[NeonVomit]

This site (www.music-man.org) has great info on Music Man basses. You can find out the age of your bass as well.

Good luck!

Hmm... seems the website isn't available! Pity that Music Man's own official website is actually pretty sparse, which is kind of annoying.

The way things are going it might buy more than the dollar...

Call them, and they will tell you all you want to know

You can also ask on the Musicman forums, they have a thread for birthdays of your instrument. Just need to give them the serial #.

And yes, the factory guys are awesome to talk to.

Killer bass bro, Classy!

Thanks! For something so simple, it really is impressive. It feels more solidly put together and better finished than my Warwick (but to be fair, my Warwick is about 15 years old and has seen a lot of heavy use).

Really makes little difference. My Ray is 10 years old and has seen some wars, but it's still rock solid.
Warwicks are nice too though

As far as age goes, my 98 Stingray 5 feels as solid as both of my <1-year old Fenders. Fantastic bass.

 

[NeonVomit]

My first gig with it will be on 17th January. I'll give a detailed report!

Not sure, but the original op-amp is obsolete.

It's official: 2015 will be the Year of the Stingray
