stingray bass thoughts

Flatowunds. Is that like flatulence?

 

LOL!!

 

Haha, you're still a troll, you still fail. Go die.

Oh, and for added measure, GTFO.

Thank you for using TalkBass.

 

T...R...O...L...L... move on now...

 

Another complete waste of 15 seconds of my life... now back to Farmer Needs a Wife.

 

exploding feces for brains you must have sir

 

Just stop clicking the links man! For the love of god, another 5 seconds and you'll have wasted a full minute!

OH NOEEEESSSSS *Echo: Nooesss....noeessss...noes*

 

This thread's a keeper.

 

I'm so on a growler571 thread binge right now. They're like crack to me...

 

Troll or no troll, your experiences with the EBMM StingRay are exactly the same as mine and I agree entirely with your assesment of the feel and the tone of these instruments.

The difference between us is that I chose to quietly sell mine to a member of the bass playing community who actually felt that "it rawked". Now, we're both happy .

Flatwounds would, IMHO/IME, sound dull and thin (as opposed to "bright and thin", like the roundwounds do ).

Personally, I found the answer to my StingRay dilemma by investing in a '77 pre-EB model, which regardless of what any "naysayers" might claim, does (IME) have a much warmer and fuller bass sound (even before boosting the EQ).

There's a reason why pre-EB 'Rays have their fans, just as there's a reason why threads like "Don't like the tone of my EBMM StingRay" keep appearing on TB - No smoke without fire! .

 

oh yeah btw...try filling out your profile and your troll status might lessen. Can't take you serious with zero info.

 

wots a troll!?!?

me confused?!

 

Then you either don't know how to EQ an amp, or don't know how to EQ a bass. If a SR with Flats sounded thin, you were doing it wrong, Sport.

i Believe alan out of the Average white band used a Stingray wiv Flats on it, on the song "schoolboy crush"

and used a pic as well!

sounds pretty kool actually!

 

I like trees!!

 

i dont like the tone of my stingray either

its all wet and floppy

but the finish is great

 

Pretty passive-aggressive trolling there. But I do wish there was a way we could intelligently discuss not only the pros of certain basses, but their cons as well.

And it's funny how if you say you don't really care for a Fender, Gibson, etc. that it kind of goes through the cracks... but the second someone posts a negative about a EBMM, you have to break out the flamesuits.
