[quote name='AndyMartin' post='405691' date='Feb 10 2009, 07:50 PM']The truss rod adjuster is at the body end of the neck. There is a cutaway in the scratchplate so it's accessible and Fender very kindly supply an adjuster tool as standard. It's a kind of long ball ended Allen key with a T handle so tweaking the trussrod is a doddle. I owned a '62 Re-issue Jazz and very quickly got fed up with having to take the neck off to adjust it. f*** that. I'm only getting rid of it because I just prefer the Precision sound and since I got a Precision I don't pick up the J anymore. I've been toying with the idea of getting a 5 string for a while and I like the Stingray sound so it seems like a good idea at the moment Give it some thought. The main problem I see is that you're in Manc and I'm down here so it would be logistically difficult. Don't worry if you're not keen, I'll probably put it up for trade in a new thread. I'll put some more pics up later.[/quote] good info andy... i did wonder about being so far apart logistically..i guess swops work best when both parties are in personal proximity..50 miles etc put it up on the forum and i can think about it as well my better half is still emphasising i should really sell ...then buy a downmarket bass since we dont play much now...she is sooooo logical but GAS is something i will die with best of luck andy i will be watching and hopefully we both will get a clear sale cheers geof

[quote name='chris_b' post='404459' date='Feb 9 2009, 04:27 PM']Leo Fender does seem to have instigated another legend with the Musicman company. I think the years caught up with him in his G&L phase. He seems to have run out of things to pioneer and, good as G&L basses are, he was only able to "reinvent the wheel".[/quote] i agree...when he finally brought those two jazz pups together in one housing with single large poles i think he hit the jackpot cheers

[quote name='Rayman' post='404671' date='Feb 9 2009, 07:24 PM']You've got flatwounds on your shortscale bass, and roundwounds on your jazz. Strings are [i]very[/i] much a matter of trial and error, and personal taste. For the jazz, if it was me, I'd be using Ernie Ball Super Slinkys (the pink packet), and for the shortscale bass, if you like flats (smooth strings) then Thomastik Infield flats are superb. Rounds are punchier, with more attack, and flats are warmer and more mellow sounding, generally.[/quote] well said i bet a lot of chaps on here could say having tried a number of string marques and types there are some they wouldnt use again eventually i think you get an affinity with a string maker and model and tend to feel secure and happy with that for me its TI

[quote name='agroupuk' post='403711' date='Feb 8 2009, 07:58 PM']Yup - thats the one Its got a nice features in that it mutes the lineout when you switch on the built in tuner. (handy when realising your out of tune and have already stepped up to the stage hehe) I dont think I paid that much for mine - and I bought it from SoundsLive about 9 months ago. Thats the credit crunch for you! Any more info needed? Edd BTW its big, about 5 - 6 " deep at its deepest and at least 4 foot, maybe 4' 2" long.[/quote] thats plenty info and many thanks from sunny manchester cheers geof

[quote name='chris_b' post='404341' date='Feb 9 2009, 02:38 PM']Leo Fender's main aims were simplicity, ease of maintenance, and, of course, to make the number 1 selling guitars and basses. No matter how his company has been run since they can't seem to undo that legacy. That makes Leo Fender a pretty amazing bloke![/quote] does that include musicmen and G+L

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='402739' date='Feb 7 2009, 12:12 PM']I've not had this too long, I bought it from a fellow basschatter. It's in excellent condition, comes with a gigbag, and the previous owner had the pickup upgraded to a Seymour Duncan, the original Fender pickup is included. I'm primarily a 6 string player, but I bought this to go with my jazz bass for gigs where a 6 string singlecut isn't appropriate. I've found that I really prefer the jazz bass, and I'm missing all of those lovely low notes from the B string, so I'm going to get either a 5 string jazz bass or a 5 string Stingray. It's currently wearing a new set of LaBella medium flats, for that classic Precision bass sound. I'm asking £450 for it plus shipping, or personal collection is welcome. Trades welcome for a Musicman Stingray 5 string bass, Stingray 4 string bass in Sunburst or Epifani 3x10 cab.[/quote] firstly can you tell me if the upgraded pup is a humbucker in design...it would have a phantom coil and is the truss rod adjustable at the headstock end finally [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305[/url] ??

[quote name='sebpayne' post='403978' date='Feb 9 2009, 01:54 AM']As part of my clear out, I'm going to pass on my lovely StingRay as I need the cash to thin out the collection. I've loved having this bass but I've managed to get away with just my Darryl Jones so here this one goes. It was previously owned by 'Ghost Rider' and before that, another fellow on this forum. Anyway, this is a rather good example of a 2005 Ernie Ball StingRay 2EQ. I've played it with TI Flats and you get a lovely warm thump but the StingRay growl is still there. The body is in pretty mint condition, with nothing major I could see. Comes with standard Music Man hardcase and strung with Ernie Ball Slinkies. I purchased this just before Christmas for £650 so would quite like to get a similar amount back, but open to offers Any questions, just let me know.[/quote] are you interested in a MM5...see my white one here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305[/url]
