Default Musicman stingray...??
I have this urge to own a Stingray, although I have never played one I am very keen to get one and need some opinions from owners or ex owners before I start trying to sell one of my wifes Kidneys so I can afford one.

I got one a couple of years back, traded it in last year against my mates PRS (he payed me back the cash). I dunno, it wasn't that great tbh. I have since discovered that Leo Fender's earlier designs are more for me. I have played ones in shops that were nicer than mine though, so perhaps my one was just a bad example. If you really want one, definitely try the one you like in a shop before buying, don't buy online.

they are pretty great, versatile, well built guitars. They are classics for a reason imo.

If I were you, I'd look at the ones you get with 2 humbuckers. I have one and the sounds you can get out of them....there are just so many..

Also remember they are not the lightest basses ever.
But i love mine - even though its now my backup.

Has a great tone and they look decent.

You can try mine if you fancy? Fire me a PM if you do

I used the one that Seagate in dundee have on our recordings,

Other than it being quite heavy, it was amazing. Sounded awesome.

Generally what kind of sound sdo you get from the HH stingray. is it more warm and punchy like a jazz or abrasive and planky like a P? or something entirely different?

Shame this thread isn't titled, "what is the most versatile bass you've played", because then your post would be of some use.

Yes... thank so far, i'm really not looking for alternative suggestions, I just have this desire for a plain old stingray, thanks for the offer woodyRATM I might take you up on that, which model is it?
My problem is that I have it in my head that getting a sound I like wont be a problem, I normaly play a jazz that weighs about three tons so weights not a big issue the only thing is I dont like maple fretboards so I would need to track down a rosewood model...
