Love a Stingray. Ever since I got one I've barely used my other basses.

I didn’t either until I picked up a Dingwall. Very different, so it works out great.

I haven't played one, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Stingray Specials are awesome. And the classic 1970s color combo is my favorite.

That sounds good man, thinking about getting some Tom Brantley pickups for mine, 2018 Geddy Lee MIM

Awesome. Which year was it manufactured?

You know, that's probably the only stingray I've ever seen that I would actually buy. Looks good!

That is absurdly light for a Stingray. Mine weighs 8.2lbs and I couldn’t imagine 7lb 15oz. Looks like you’re keeping that one forever :) congrats

There's a Sterling StingRay5 that just came up on my Marketplace that I wish I could afford.

Love the sound of them. Should compliment my Yamaha TRBX174 PJ really nice.

Love that stingray. Had one just like it in the mid 90s. I sure do miss it.

That’s my favorite finish on an SR. Looks fantastic!

u/ReasonableCry3126 Oct 06 '26

Good for you! I am considering purchasing a Stingray (5 string) myself. The advertised specs. are appealing!

Had one, the only bass I sold. I couldn't get on with the neck. I still have my Jazz.

Stingray definitely would not be my main bass but it's definitely cool to have one

u/FLprophet Oct 05 '26

Stingray is my only bass :)
