They're also doing 'Classic' Sterlings, and Stingray 5's. The fivers are the same design as the SR4s - and they look friggin' wicked.

Or a Bongo? (how many threads have I answered with these exact words?)

This. Well I am.. Impeccable bass work there!

I'm interested in the N3 pickups. Are they Bongo-esque neodymium magnets?

I love this picture. From left to right there is always something going on. 3 Band members, little boy coming to give us money, and the parents sending him on his way...awesome.

Looks absolutely great. You should definitely try to get those pink pickup covers, that would be insane in the membrane.

Not inexpensive, but I want one! [url="http://www.moogmusic.com/controllers/?section=product&product_id=21141"]http://www.moogmusic.com/controllers/?sect...roduct_id=21141[/url]

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful ... and now with mahogany bodies!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='775446' date='Mar 15 2010, 05:40 PM']FWIW, I'd recommend some kind of fretless Musicman! I'm not one to rave about Musicman basses that are fretted, although they are damn good, but fretless, they are fantastic! I have a Sabre necked custom bass that is just fantastic. It has made fretless my main instrument! I think that pickup placement is great for fretless, you can have loads of Jaco style honk at the same time as loads of strong fundamental![/quote] +1 on this. I had a fretless Ray and to be honest it was the best bass I ever had. It could do everything my fretted Ray could, and then some. Deep, phat, tight fretless tones. Just perfect.

Well for a start I never touch the mid knob (why I own 3 Bongos each with 2 mid knobs is anyone's guess....) but I also just prefer the subtle differences in the tone over that of the 3EQ. I'm talking those tiny differences you hear. Also I like how there are no detents, you just kind of turn the knobs until it sounds good, without being influenced by whether it is flat or not. The 2EQ also puts out more lower frequencies. It is literally subsonic in that respect, it goes down to 20hz rather than the 3EQ's 50hz. Not really such a big deal, I just prefer it's entire vibe. Plus, it looks cooler with the output jack on the front.

There is a thread over on the EBMM forum which shows the differences between many different models here: [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/42214-stingray-sound-examples.html"]http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-...d-examples.html[/url] Personally, I reckon the HH is the best, if only it came in 2EQ...

I just got the album that is is from. It's FRIKKIN' good!

Or a Bongo? Heheheh

Yep, those are cool.

The almighty Bongos!

[quote name='Wil' post='765312' date='Mar 5 2010, 04:04 PM']I don't really rate the concept of the band having a "look", but most of the shows I enjoy going to are punk or ska. Most of the time the band are wearing pretty similar clothes to the audience and no one cares - passion over fashion [/quote] Same here man, but I will also wear my bleachers and spike up my mohawk for a funk gig too. People looked at me funny at a Maceo gig in the Jazz Cafe...

They probably make a 'fleabass' in purple surely?

THIS I like. Awesome stuff!
