Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Puppy hand grenade.

Haha, wow. Was just talking to one of my co-workers about tonight's show with my two former bandmates. He said that he left a band a while back, then went to see them play and rather than getting a new bass player they just played pre-recorded tracks of him playing bass and played along to those live. Kind of surreal watching a band, hearing yourself play bass while you're standing in the audience.

So, I'm thinking of some sort of Stingray 5 string bass. Definitely can't afford the real thing. Any good alternatives? Also, would probably string with flats. Good combo?

I LOVE Ibanez, and know the ATK is their Stingray, but they don't seem to be made anymore. Is SUB any good? Thanks for the opinions!

ATK still (back) in production as far as I know. At least there are lots floating around, you can get a new 205 for $350, and probably better if you dig around or go used.

Also check out the G&L L1505 for an alternative.

Can't swing that price. Dang. Looks great, though!
