    I once played a charity gig for extensions to a local church. It was for a dinner and dance at a local 5 star hotel. We went in for £1600 and got 'knocked down' to about £400 after the organiser laying it on thick. We found out tickets for the evening were £100 each. There was an auction of promises after the meal - it went on and on and on. We had been there at 5 to set up. The Auction made £20,000. We finally went on at 11:30, played for half an hour! That was about £60 each for 2 hours travel, 2 hours set up and pack down, 6 and a half hours sitting around and 30mins of playing. After that we were very careful to do our research for all gigs.

    Hi. You LAST CHANCE at £1700 for 2 days only. Fantastic bass in tip top condition. Dont miss out ! Same for my Spector 4LT Rudy Sarzo £1700 for 2 days Here’s my 2010 USA Musicman Stingray 5HH in excellent condition. No damage or signs of wear apart from some really thin cobweb like lines on the pick guard which dont show in the photos even. ** Pick guard now polished so just very minimal signs of control knobs use. * ** Mini dimple on rear of body now drop filled and polished ! Jobs a good un ! ** Photos added at the end showing pick guard and rear of body with No Dimple 🤓! on the back of the body. My lamps make it look worse than it is, to be clear.So only a 9.9/10 for condition ! Excuse the conservatory roof reflections (the parallel lines) and there’s a palm plant too. Better light though. This bass plays both beautifully and thunderously depending on your preference with the 5 way pickup selector and powerful 3 band preamp. All the electronics perform perfectly. Everything works as it should and the alnico pickups give a rich variety of useable tones. It’s a very responsive and dynamic bass in tip top condition and priced accordingly. The frets have most of their depth left and were professionally dressed just after I bought it. See the close ups. They were polished today and I only had to use a little oil to clean the fretboard today so this bass is ready to do the business for you. New battery too. It has a lovely smooth and dark rosewood board. Shiny gloss black finish over the ash body. Nut width 44.6mm 66.6mm at 12th fret String spacing 17.5mm at the stainless steel saddles. D’Addario 40-125 roundwound nickels. Weighs 4.55kg , 10lbs 1/2 oz with the lighter original metal black knobs and 4.6kg, 10lbs 2oz with the chrome ones. Nicely balanced with a strap in either case. I’ve had it nearly 10 years but need to raise some funds now and recently got a 4HH Special so that can take over now. I bought it used in 2016 but it’s only had minimal home use in that time as my other basses need playing too. It’s all stock apart from the chrome knobs but I have the original black ones if you’d prefer them. Both photod. Price reflects the excellent condition and perfect working order. It includes the original Musicman Stingray 5 hard case and insured UK Mainland delivery costs but I will send it further afield if you contribute the charge beyond UK mainland. Thanks for looking.

    3.34kgs seems about right for a late 70s P. Once the neck and other hardware are added it could weigh around 4.5kgs / 10lbs.

    Nope, as you would see the added MIDI volume and the two extra switches (blend and up/down) and the 13 pins out...

    A lot of bands struggle with this. Songs you like vs songs the crowd wants to hear. At the local regional mid market level fairs and festivals, playing songs the crowd likes and knows is always a winner We have a few songs that I think we should drop from our set list. Daryl

    Hey Rob, Thx..i have to say there is nothing "proper" about my CNC setup but it works for me, i used to build "by hand" CNC isn't really much faster as you do a lot more work up front but i think the results are much better ! I'll see about posting something in the builds log so as to not clog up this thread (mods please re/move this post if you need/want) the above body is a 27" baritone headless guitar!...Build has somewhat stalled due to a recent death in the family but im hopping to restart things this week I do also have a 5 string SC headless 32" scale BASS (also unfinished) So ppl might have seen these over at sevenstring.org where i mostly post my builds, but for months now i can't even load the site to login there.... Cheers Gizmo

    How long a band has been in business is definitely part of the equation. Daryl

    Wow! Not seen a 5-string Lightwave. Does this also have the hex output? Very tempted, but I would have to have it converted to fretted. And I really need to play the basses I have. 🎶 GLWTS!
  17. neepheid
    Yes, I would imagine so. It's not in danger of turning into a singularity any time soon...

    I do like your CNC machine and workshop with extractor fans and the like properly set out. Mmm.... Perhaps one day. Never seen the printable fan before and sadly it won't fit on my trim router as the vertical adjustment closes everything off, but I think the idea is great. I'd love to see more on the making of what appears to be a six string headless. Rob

    Probably a bit lighter?

    I take basic tools with me and my bass soft cases have the respective allan keys in the pockets but i always take a spare bass if one fails. I've had to adjust the E string saddle on my MIM P bass once but it was because the saddle screws were very loose and dropping the saddle. I replaced the full bridge on it. Dave

    This is aesthetically very pleasing. All the hardware seems to be to scale. Which is not always the case with smaller versions. Very pleasing indeed.

    And for good measure, here's the neck socket of mine
  35. Piers_Williamson
    And correction...someone has obviously shielded the whole of the inside which would imply the pickup has been changed, but its the way the shielding overspills the cavity....I don't think it has been re-routed, judging by mine
