5 and a half years ago I bought a near new Stingray4 HH and for 4 and a half years I loved it to bits.
Because I like to keep things simple, I got too overwhelmed by the tonal choices of two centre tap 'buckers and a 5 way switch. (Stratocaster? Forget it...)
So began the covetting of a Stingray5 with a single pickup.
I started playing rhythm guitar about 2 years ago and about a year later I sold the Stingray4 to buy a very expensive Maton electric. (Nice, no, EXCELLENT guitar, but more than I'll ever need)
I also got a cheap Yamaha at the endoffinancialyearsale, just so I could keep a bass in the studio - you never know.
Lucky I did, because 2 months ago I got a job in a band - on bass. Yippee.
But the Yammy just wasn't gonna cut it.
Long story short... What (bass) guitar do I want?
Stingray5 H
What (bass) guitar do I now own?
Stingray5 H
The acquisition phase is over. I'm not a collector, I'm a player. (Though I might search out a cheap Stingray SUB to leave at work for practice.)
