Well guys Brad spoke to Sterling Ball ( Owner of Musicman Corp. ) , he loved the name change and was very appreciative.
He noted Brad's humor in the name .
This was a professional courtesy by Sterling , not a potential lawsuit, he is a great guy and owns a wonderful company, and also shares a good sense of humor.
So I hope to get a new Stang Ray into Guitar Players July 30 watt amp roundup review.
Fingers crossed..........
DR.Z

Everyone's a winner in the end . Glad there are no hard feelings between Z, Brad, and Sterling Ball. Worked out good for me because of all the intial hoopla surrounding the name change, I ended up getting my favorite amp of all time!

Z that's great, sure hope you get one in the shootout, shoe-in if'n ya ask me !
I've only managed a breif test drive of mine but it is a KILLER for sure, I can see the need for a Stang'Ray to gig, so the original can stay safely at home.
Thanks Z, Curt

Yeah, Curt, I hope I'm safe. I've been huntin' like a dawg to find a Stingray, and one just magically appears amongst your collection! I've actually got two different shops back east that say they've got some on order that "should be in any day" and nobody's claimed them, so I'm "the first one on the list." We'll see, I'm sure I'll have to keep hounding them and won't know for sure until my credit card statement tells me otherwise. -Greg

Gonna have to change the name of the forum now that it's official! Yes, I can see it now... "The-Stangray-Used-To-Be-Stingray-And-Almost-Was-Mantaray Forum" Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?

Not that it was a gift, trust me I paid full price, it's just that it appeared and I jumped right quick ! I'd sure keep in touch with the shops regularly, w/o being a pest, just to make sure they understand your for real. Man, I've heard some here say the 'ray is a Clean amp, and it is...sort of, not that it's gainy either, it's just right, not really hair, but lotZ of shaggyness on the notes, and awesome compression/attack, very expressive......just cool, just cool Got an RC Booster also and MAN what a device that is, tried it w/3 amps and I see now why all say "just leave it on.." I'm sure I will tomorrow night !

It's a StangRay now? What do I win? Re: New name for the Stingray « Reply #41 on Feb 11, 2006, 12:02am »
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STANGRAY, Z-STANG, or simply STANG, in keeping with the car name theme (or wild horses).
Edit to add, STANG 30. That way we could have a STANG 15 one day.
