Neither is a Peavey 5150 amp. But if someone started a thread saying; "I really want to get that 5150 sound", and then someone randomly pitched in with; "I just bought a Line 6 PODxt and it's got loads of different effects" it just seems a little bit "me, me, me" with no real use or relevance to the topic originator who is clearly just interested in a Stingray rather than hearing about who recently bought a subjectively more versatile bass than what he's after . Anyway, sorry for being an ass about it - because I'm being an even bigger waste of time by pissing and moaning. Let me apologise by not returning your negative rep points in a playground manner And just so this post isn't completely wasted... I like Stingrays. If I worked for Ernie Ball/Musicman, I'd suggest bringing out the limited edition 'Steve Irwin' model.
