Members jsmith37 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I would definitely want a 5 string HH in white or black. Not too keen on any of the other colors. Although, I don't know if I'd even like one.....since I've never played one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jsmith37 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Not really. Local places only carry: Fender, Squier, Jay Turser, and Washburn. I most certainly don't NEED another bass, but I'd like to find the end all bass.....so I can sell the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jsmith37 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 What the neck like on the Stingrays and Sterlings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedpool1052 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 What the neck like on the Stingrays and Sterlings? stingray = like a modern p-bass, but more comfortable. and faster.sterling = like a modern j-bass, but more comfortable. and faster. at least to me anyway.

Members FloydianAnimal Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 The Stingray 5 and Sterling 5 neck however are almost identical. The 4 string version are like a P and a Jazz as noted respectively. Your best bet might be to try an SR5 or Sterling 5 and see if you like them first... Guitar Center should carry both of them. Also, you may find that you don't need two humbuckers. The single H with a 3 way switch (parallel-single-series) is surprisingly versatile itself...

Members jsmith37 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 closest guitar center is 2 hours away.... ....but I certain I'd prefer the P type neck of the stingray.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 82Daion Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 If you have not played these basses, and are expecting any of them to be the "end-all," you're setting yourself up for disappointment. The 2-hour drive is worth it if that's what it takes to figure out if you should invest further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
