    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='1274886' date='Jun 19 2011, 04:16 PM']yum and yumm[/quote] Seconded. Although I'd probably have to go with the SB-2 (nice price btw) since I'm already nicely sorted for an L-1000.

    [quote name='Sawtooth' post='1274711' date='Jun 19 2011, 01:55 PM']Wow, that is nice! It must be a transitional bass, featuring a lawsuit headstock and skunk stripe suggesting '81. But having the black crinkle hardware and patent stamped pickup covers, late '81 - '82. Yet featuring the small allen head pole pieces from '82. It seems quite unique.[/quote] In a nutshell, yes.

    Carefully whip off the top cover and with a fine paint brush and a Hoover nozzle at the ready brush out all the dust and crap that had been sucked in. Obviously unplug it first.

    [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1274471' date='Jun 19 2011, 10:18 AM']Hey guys, So am I right in reading above that my ric can nail that stingray sound??[/quote] Aye yours might (especially through Jakesters rig in the scenario above - only joking mate ). Get some genuine Ric pups in there Steve and who knows it might even start sounding like a real Ric.

    [quote name='Evil Undead' post='1274393' date='Jun 19 2011, 08:00 AM']Lots of good advice here, thanks guys...[/quote] And some bad. Tape will not prevent chipping.... it may save you if your drill decides to go walkabout though. The bradawl idea is not a very good one at all. Use a metal/multi-purpose bit instead of a ripper style wood one as these are countersunk and will cut it's way more gradually. To see if covers were right for me, I successfully gigged with them on just using carefully and firmly applied blu-tac. It can be surprisingly strong stuff, try it at home yourself first if you have any concerns about it falling off.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1274279' date='Jun 19 2011, 12:13 AM']They talk more sh*t than us lot over there polepiece alignment story again, all wrong on EBMM but fine on pre EB versions? Next time your near a Fender Strat have a look and see how the strings pass over the pole pieces or see if the notes vanish when you bend a string.[/quote] Take two of the blue ones and have a nice wee lie down dear.

    [quote name='BassBunny' post='1273959' date='Jun 18 2011, 05:58 PM']No they don't completely nail the Stingray tone. That said they are probably the most adaptable bass available. It's my permanent "go-to" bass if any of the others aren't quite doing it.[/quote] They are indeed but the Stingray tone is a very unique tone based on a specific pup in a precise position combined with a classically voiced eq circuit.... the L-2000 has none of that - it has it's own thang goin' on.

    I think the originals are fine too, especially as a preliminary introduction to fine bass.

    [quote name='TheGreek' post='1269810' date='Jun 15 2011, 10:59 AM']With so many lauding their praises on both Fenders and MM basses why are there so many in the "For Sale" thread??[/quote] I was in a supermarket yesterday. They had all the major brands for sale there too. It's political correctness gone mad I tell you.
  23. Ou7shined
    This thread is sexist and a disgrace. Having said that, Jessica Fagre is quite hot... I hadn't seen her before but that Jenny Lee Lindberg is super hot ... I'm struggling with the fact that she bears more than a passing resemblance to my sister in law. Dr. Freud, patient waiting.

    She probably wasn't very impressed by the porno mag behind the radiator either.

    [quote name='neepheid' post='1271115' date='Jun 16 2011, 10:14 AM']Right, it's "bad cop" time. OK folks, here's the deal. It seems that it's extra hard to sell a modded bass at the moment. If this doesn't sell soon then I will remove the EMG goodies and bust it down to a passive bass with a commensurate price reduction. If you want the EMG goodness in a Les Paul bass that doesn't cost the earth then speak up or forever hold your peace. In the absence of objections, I will likely take this step at the end of next week.[/quote] Do it Matt. Get some sweet humbucking rails in and sell the EMGs separately ..... unless of course someone buys it with the EMG still in before you get the chance. BTW folks he's actually a "good cop" ie a great guy to deal with.
