D'addario Super Long Scale should fit. I was using them on a Dingwall and it was only the B at 37 inches that was a bit hit and miss as to whether the main speaking length was going to get over the nut and that was only by a mm or 2. The E was 36.25 and always fit.

My 2 main basses are a Marleaux Consat Custom 5 string and a much modified Stingray 5. At the moment it has an Aguilar 60s wind precision pickup in it. And it’s passive. I have 2 rigs really. Easy transport rig is L6 G70 wireless > Cali compact bass compressor > Digitech bass synth wah > Darkglass Alpha Omega or B3K V2 depending on the tunes. that goes into either a Tecamp Puma 300 or a Darkglass M900 and then to either 1 or 2 Barefaced One10 cabs. Heavy rig is a racked up Helix rack and foot controller. Sometimes used with just the power section of the above heads and cabs and sometimes into a Yamaha DXR10 frfr powered cab. Or straight into the PA. Or into all of it at once and still using the USB to record it all. Im not listing out the details of all the patches I have in the Helix as I’d be here all night!

Is the bridge pickup in the same place for both the 1 and 2 pickup versions?

Hipshot Ultralites. Tiny footprint and save a surprising amount of weight.

Measuring from a saddle is a crap idea. Could be massively out depending on string choice. Measure from the nut or the 12th fret.

Now you can wander round the house and still play! I do that with mine, no more cable clutter to annoy the mrs.

It was this demo that made me pick the Clean and Clear

I have ordered. Will take a couple of weeks as they are awaiting stock and our lovely customs, but I'm patient.

Did you need something finding out?

Don't know - there's lots of people there. A guy called Peter is the over all boss, but then there are dept heads for the various instruments and the like. There's the HQ in town, but then they also run Saturday morning centres all across the county using schools as the venues. I play at one of them every Saturday.

Is there a local Music and Performing Arts Trust? There's one near me in Northants and they are always on the lookout for stuff the kids can use.

I've got plenty of knobs - it's the pots themselves I need. Thanks chaps.

Discontinued a long time ago. i had one. Very good pedal. Definitely worth trying.

Art is not the artist. go back 100 years and it’s likely every piece of art was made by a racist. Another few and you’ll find slavers.

I'm doing evil things to my P-Ray. Where can I get good stack knob pots so I can do the old jazz thing of Vol and tone for each pickup? ta

A couple of years ago someone sold a jar of Glasto mud on ebay. Made a couple of hundred. I feel very old.

Yup. I got my EMGs from them. Even with customs it was cheaper.

I'm just about to order. Going to order via Best Bass Gear in the US as they do free shipping. Going direct from Norstrand would cost another $50 in shipping! I've had other stuff from BBG so all should be good.

I love interesting cover versions. I recently discovered "Spider Bait" version of Black Betty. Banjo and fuzz pedals!! It's amazing!

Shame the nut is way wider than the Ray5.

Been a while, but I’m going to order the clean and clear set. Ill try it as PJ first and then might swap the Aguilar P for the neck J blade at some point.

I’m going to say it.... Johnny Rod’s version with WASP is better.

I don't think the back of the neck is the same as the real ray 5 though.
