Hi. Where are you based? Cheers, Ben 

Hi.  Ive got a gig at the king billy in Northampton in may next year.  If its still about i'll pop round

cheers

Hi. Can you post a picture once its been cleaned up and waxed etc?

love my sterling. I have a sterling and stingray and i like to compare the differences of the two as per the jazz and p-bass. One with a sleek fast neck and more tonal options compared to the fatter traditional set up. There is something beasty about the stingray that the sterling misses. May just be the size.

beautiful bass - if only i had the cash spare

Hi. sorry to be a pain but have you got a web link to the pics? i get this weird message saying "please upgrade your account to 3rd party hosting" instead of the picture.

That is a cracker. Have you got any close up pics of the nut and where u shimmed? Also can you provide more details of your repairs. Was it literally just a sand down of the cracked paintwork? Cheers

Hi

I bought a 5 string pack that were on special offer to fit on my 4 string warwick. Not a huge fan so only played very light at home for a hour or so.

They are the light gauge - 045 - .130

The E-G strings have been cut to fit my warwick 2+2 headstock. Each string had around 4 wounds on the tuning peg so might fit a fender esq headstock - i can measure the strings individually if interested.

The B has not been cut and is unused

Cheers, ben

Ive got the corvette version of this - amazing basses for the price

Some great ideas chaps - thanks for all the feedback. I play with my trumpet plenty as it is thanks Happy jack

Hi

Ive always found it incredibly tiring to play my usa sterling due to the pickup being close to the bridge as with all musicman's. My fav position to anchor is the neck pickup on a Jazz. Ive tried the floating hand technique or anchoring on the e string on my MM but i struggle with those.

Just wondering if i was being weak or have others noticed it? Toyed with the idea of gluing a finger rest on the stratchplate but it looks odd on a MM.

Cheers

I managed to get some of the super bright light nickels on 2 for 1 from string busters. i was ideally after the SS but they were out of stock. Be interesting to see what they sound like

What a steal for that price - id sell my granny before letting my usa sterling go, esp for that price

ooohhhhhh - ive got the very same. Cracking bass, on the heavier side but so much tonal variety. Lots of bass for price

Cheers Loz. We've played the billy before a few times. Usually a fella in a wheelchair at the front with a few jokes. Gone down there well before so fingers crossed for a good un. Hope to catch up with you sometime

Hi all

My band Lower than Bones are playing the King Billy in Northampton on sat night (2100-0000) and St Ives Seven Wives on sunday (1600-1900). Come and see us if you're local

To tempt you further, the Billy gig is Oktoberfest with german beers galore and all bar staff are dressed as serving wenches!! Plus there is a metal disco 0000-0300hrs.

We play metal/heavy grunge covers of bands such as killswitch, metallica, alice in chains, soundgarden, slayer, lamb of god etc

Check us out on facebook

I got hold of a bargain 2nd hand FNA Jazzman - amazing machine and has a lot of tonal variety and good looks
