Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some great news. I just bought a Stingray!!!! ;D Mine is #23 of 50. I was shopping for a red one. But then I discovered how rare any Stingrays are...let alone red heads. And then this one showed up in mint condition. So there was no way I was going to let it slip by me. This will be the perfect complement to my Route 66. I cannot wait to get her. Here's a pic: What do you think?

I think it looks exactly like mine! You get the cab too? If not, be sure to get a chance somewhere, some time to try it through a pair of Celestion Alnico Blues - you will be astonished.

God, that's a nice looking amp and cabinet you have there. Actually, I spent almost 4 hours trying different amp/ cabinet combinations with a friend today. While every one of them sounded great, I'm going to get a 1x12 "convertible" cabinet and put the Hellatone version of the G12H30 in it. We played 8 different Z heads through every sort of cabinet/ speaker combo we could muster: Z-Best, 2x12 openbacks with Celestion alnicos, Blues, Golds, my Avatar with G12H30/V30, Greenbacks, you name it. We were both surprised, but agreed that the Stingray sounded best with the G12H30 in a 1x12. It was just magical.

But mine has a V30 - not the best one for the Stingray.

Nice, Brad!...looks exactly like mine (#16). All I can tell you is I've spent two years trying to find an amp that can better the Stingray, and it hasn't been found (my take of course!) Congrats, and enjoy!

Thanks, guys. I know what you mean. I had no intention of buying another amp. But I've played a friend's Ray twice, and it's just killer. A big, round, warm tone that just wraps around you, but is still clean. I'm going to run it through one of those Framptone amp switchers. The R66 will be on one channel for an amazing overdrive tone, and I'll have the Ray on the other channel for my clean sound. God, I can't wait to get her!

Congrats man!! My Stang is the same color, and I think it's a pretty classy color scheme.

Oh, i know I'm going to love it. My friend has #22, and this one is #23. His sounds amazing. As a matter of fact, his sounded "too" good. I couldn't live without one after I heard his. Yes, I got it from Sam. Very cool guy to deal with. Very friendly, and quick to answer questions. It sounds like Oeser Music Supply might have some competition.

God, I can't wait to get her! Congrats on the Ray ;D +1 for getting such a killer amp I've got a Ray and a Route 66, I think those 2 amps together will be near impossible to beat.

Hey guys, I just played my Stingray for the first time. It came earlier this morning, but I wanted to let her warm up before firing her up. My, my, my...tonal bliss. She's the perfect complement to my Route 66. The Doc does indeed rock
