How much are they?

They look lovely

Why do they slay a Sandberg

I have 2 and love them
[/quote]

They are built to order. They cost with all the extras my bass has £2500.

The neckprofile suits me better. Flat 20" radius, Thick neck. Hipshot hardware is far superior to sandberg hardware. I could not get along with the sandberg bridge. I plays better with much lower action.

It's the first 5-string they made. It's couple of years old. I'm the second owner. The guy who ordered it stopped playing 5-strings.
Sold both of my Sandbergs TM5 this bass owns them! It's also much better than the Lakland skylines i used to own.

I just got a Swedish made Lighthouse Outwatch bass.
Compound neck
Alder body
glockenklang 2 band 18 volt preamp
Lundgren (swedish handwound pickups)
Hipshot hardware

It plays like butter!

I have had basses with graphite necks by Moses, Status, Zon, Modulus and Clover.

All the graphite necks are great! The Moses jazz neck was a bit too narrow at the nut for my taste. The moses neçk is harder to install with the inserts.

If you get a graphite neck, make sure it has the relief you like or a truss rod!

Modulus flea necks are the closest to a pbass meck.

BUMP!

The difference has been discussed at the talkbass site.
I hope It's ok to link to the site on this forum.

I'll give it a try when the pedalcase get's here!

I'm about to fit the bridge onto the body. After that I'll a/b the real stingray pre (in my Musicman stingray 5) with the Eden WTDI connected the the Stingray clone.

I have thought about doing that. I orded a pedalbox and I have a duncan mm preamp. My electronic skills are not so good, so I rather get a professional made preamp I guess I could give it a try.
I have an Eden WTDI . Do you think it will do the trick?

I'm building a Stingray 5 clone. I'ts going to get an alder body, Status Graphite neck, Seymour Duncan mm-pickup and a Hipshot bridge.
Instead of an onboard preamp I'm going to get a pedal preamp to use between the bass and the amp.
Do you have any opinions on what pedal pre will sound closest in sound to the onboard pre?

now i have an eden wtdi

It's going to be white. The orignal neck has a maple finger board.

It's a custom built body and an original neck. Hipshot 17.5 mm bridge. Seymour Duncan "musicman" 3 band preamp.

I'm going to get a 5 string musicman style pickup for a Stingray 5 clone.
Has anyone tried a Status Graphite MM pickup?

I already have 2 Stingray 5s so I'm open to a different sound. I

Reliable guy! Had dealings with him locally in Stockholm. Also founder of the facebook group bass players Sweden.

[color=#000000]I just bought an Edwards 135m bass.

I can't find any info on the preamp. It's a KH-1 2-band 9 volt preamp. Anyone know if it's Seymour Duncan or an ESP made?[/color]

Did some shielding to get rid of the enormous hum! I tried with conductive paint first, but I wasn't happy with the results, so I shielded every cavity with copperfoil. Now its conductive paint and copper ontop of it
The bass is dead silent!

I got a Hamer Cruise] 5 off ebay. I replaced the crappy after marked Artec pickups the previus owner put in it with stacked Bartolinis and put new pots as well.
Pretty sweet bass!

I shielded the bass with conductive paint since the previous owner made a mess in the control cavity.

Thanks!

I just got a Vester 90-ties bass with this bridge. Anyone know brand or model?
Thanks!

It says on the Status website that the neck fits both stingray 5 and ray35.
I'll put it on the ray35 first! Now I will order it!

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I have a dark red Stingray 5 from the late 80ties and a semi-new black Sterling ray35. I really like the black on black look with a graphite neck on a black bass. My question if you think the Indonisian bass deserves the fancy status neck? Is the eq and body materials as good as the real stingray 5?[/font]

I just bought a Clover Slapper from the late 80ties.
It's a german made bass with carbon fiber neck and a 18 volt german Noll preamp with bartolini pickups. Great soundning bass. It plays like a dream. Really great quality all through!
