What's the going rate for Stingrays nowadays?
40hz replied to Supernaut's topic in General Discussion
That line is a change in the finish. Musicman necks (for a good number of years now) are unfinished, so have no poly coating. It's done to make the neck smoother to play and nicer to feel (and it works incredibly well). They still finish the headstock in a satin poly though, and that's where the line comes in. Pre Ernie Ball, the entire neck was finished in poly gloss, like a lot of other basses. There have been some special editions down the years that have harked back to this, like the 'Classic' series and 'Retro 70s'. -

I've only owned one Yamaha bass: It's the BJ-5B, a signature model made in a limited edition of 50 for Japanese surf band Terry & The Blue Jeans. I'd been very taken by the looks of the SBV range, but as a 5-string player I wasn't going to buy a bass that I wouldn't use. Then someone on here mentioned that this model existed. When one came up for sale on Ishibashi I jumped at the chance. Unfortunately the actual bass was rather underwhelming. I was hoping for a 5-string SBV, but it's essentially a TRB-5 with a body and headstock that is roughly SBV shaped. It was also by far the heaviest bass I have ever owned with the widest string spacing at the bridge and the narrowest at the nut. I used it at a few gigs where the stage was big enough to wield this without being a danger to the rest of my band or our audience. Eventually I faced up to the fact that it was never going to get any regular use and I sold it. The only piece of Yamaha gear I own now is a Tenori-On.

While we're on this topic does anybody know why on the back of the Stingray headstock there's a "line" separating it from the neck? I've always wanted to know. Not sure if this applies to pre Ernie Ball models. -
Ooooohhhh. 🥰 I sincerely hope the gig isn't a Motorhead tribute act at the local pub.

A full set of Spot On templates to make a Stingray style bass. Bought for an idea then changed my mind! Decent templates made from 9mm MDF. They haven’t been used though I have sanded the neck template very slightly as it was about 1mm too wide for the pocket. It is now a tight fit. For reference, if you are planning using a standard USA scratch plate then note the position on these templates is a couple of mm different (easy to adjust template position when building). Cheers-

That’s a very interesting thing! -
Unfortunately it fits perfectly, therefore I'll have to give this one a miss. -
If only it had another string! GLWTS -

Lovely bass, is it me or has the headstock been subtly changed at the end? It may be the angle, it looks more rounded.- 1 reply

I'm partial to a pointy headstock. As much as I like the idea of something pointy all over I've not really played a type of music that suits it.

The Tobias Classic 6 bass with serial number 2105 dates to the period immediately following Gibson's acquisition of Tobias, dating to late 1992 or early 1993. Production Period Details Gibson Transition: Michael Tobias sold the company to Gibson in 1990. Basses with serial numbers up to 2044 are considered the last "California" models (made in Burbank, Los Angeles). Nashville Production: Serial number 2105 follows the last California production serial number, indicating that this particular instrument was one of the first produced at Gibson's new facility in Nashville, Tennessee. The entire original luthiers did not relocate to Nashville, leading to differences in the production process compared to previous models. Features: Despite the change of location, the first basses produced in Nashville retained many of the original design features. This 6-string bass likely still features the asymmetrical neck and original Bartolini pickups/preamps. In short, your Tobias Classic 6 is a historic example that marks the transition from Michael Tobias' original ownership to Gibson's, making it an interesting piece for collectors and enthusiasts. -
These are great and I am only selling as I just upgraded to the BCB-90x. It’s set up with the daisy chain all in place. You just need to add your pedals and patch cables. Cut for six Boss sized pedals. Price includes UK postage. Check my feedback and buy with confidence. PayPal or bank transfer preferred. -
Owned from new for around 12yrs, I bought this from Thomann and had it set up for Rockabilly. It definitely feels a step up from the entry level basses and I have used it live a lot. Most of its life has been more of feature in my living room though. The last couple of years I have been coming to terms with the fact that I need to sell it. Space is at a premium, it rarely gets used and I am of an age where the EUB seems the easier option. The specs are here Thomann link if anyone is interested. I added a pickup which has been useful - a David Gage Realist. People often call it a copper head. They’re industry standard and normally about £120 used. Mine is included with the bass at no extra cost to you. There is a tatty (by my high standards) gig bag and the strings are currently Gut-A-Like vintage ones Gut A Like strings You’ll see I added a few stickers. These should be fairly easy to remove. I’m happy to do it, or I can leave it. Equally I am happy to add more pictures. It’s currently lent against the wall in my place in Hungerford, where I am Sunday to Thursday evenings. Postage looks too hard to do so it would be a collection. I have gotten it in a Peugeot 107 before - not comfortably, so perhaps don’t bring the family if collecting!-

I’m a big fan of Boss pedals and have just re-done my board. I went a bit mad recently and have a fair few that are surplus to my requirements. All are boxed (initially the OC3 was listed as unboxed but I have since found the box) and only the super overdrive has Velcro on the bottom. I would grade these as at least 9/10 in terms of condition. Prices include UK postage. Boss Octave OC3 - £85 Boss Tuner TU3 - £70 Boss Super Chorus CH1 - £75 Boss Super Overdrive - £60 Boss Bass Overdrive - £80 I looked around online and believe these are priced to sell. Check my feedback thread and buy with confidence. PayPal or balance transfer preferred.-

I’ll be honest I had a touring/spyder way back and didn’t like it, but my beloved trace amp has finally crapped out and is no longer repairable. So now considering an RM, but being class D is it reliable ?A pf 500 and a mb 500 I had both went wrong, hence why I ended up with a trace. Because at least I thought it was repairable, but it has served me well the last nine years. So I guess the question is can a RM do the trace thing, any thoughts ?
