Nice Mike. I don't know Brad's settings but that would also be my guess judging by his tone using blues/golds and single coil guitars. That amps got major mojo. Congratulations on a Very Cool Stingray!

Congratulations on a Very Cool Stingray! Those would be his settings - one for "low" volume (where the amp is now) and the tape setting are his concert settings - both set up by Chad when he worked for Brad. Hope he left some mojo in it

Hope he left some mojo in it Thanks for the addition info Mike. I'm sure it's got plenty of Brad and Chad (tube changes and sound checks) Mojo. I have a crazy notion that the more an amp is played hard the better it will sound over the years. (not abusive use but making it sing use) I also think the same about guitars. The concert settings make sense, I admit that I was scratching my head when looking at the lower settings. The tones I hear from BP are el84's pushed hard. The Stingray can get those output tubes snarling and singing.

No one's asked.....how did you come to own this? What connections? No connections - it popped up on e-bay 2 weeks ago with very reasonable BIN or best-offer. I offered $200 less than he was asking - 15 minutes later someone else made an offer. I said the heck with it and hit the BIN button. Later found out that several other people contacted him and offered more if he'd sell it to them. Luckily he had principles

That's so cool Mike and what a great find. It could not go to a better Z Guy, well except for me since I'm a Stangray fanatic. ;-) And since it's got Wolfgangs fingerprints on it makes it all that much sweeter. Wolfgang was highly a respected employee and friend of Mike's.

I agree, pretty neat. I still haven't gotten my Stangray yet...always something else pops up! i should likely get one in case they get discontinued. I've already missed out on two Z's in cases like that. Keith
