    [quote name='Treb' timestamp='1454754814' post='2972603'] Hey nice one! Great to hear the different flavours. Well done video. [/quote] Thanks :-) [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1454779704' post='2972959'] That 3-band alnico sounded awful next to the other two. Maybe to do with how the EQ was set (how was it set)? Still, I would've thought the preamp on the regular non-classics should be the same.[/quote] The EQ for the 3-bands was set flat = center detent. When Musicman changed the SR5 PU in 2008 they also slightly modified the pre-amp. The Cermamics have a pre-amp with parallel/single coil/series whilst the ALNICOs were equipped with a pre-amp that features parallel/series+filter/parallel and they obviously tweaked the frequencies. The 2-Band in the Classics is exactly the same as in the Standard 2-Band 4-string StingRays, no change here. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1454779704' post='2972959']Aren't the 3-bands cut/boost with centre detents, and the 2-bands boost only on the bass and boost/cut on the highs with no detent? [/quote] Exactly.

    Price: 35 GBP/45 EUR I am selling a beautiful StingRay 5 Pickguard in Pearl White, custom made by WD. Very good used condition, no scratches. Fits all Ernie Ball Musicman StingRay 5 basses from March 2008 onward (note the position for the 3-way lever). Happy to ship all over Europe/UK. Thanks and cheers [attachment=211672:FullSizeRender.jpg][attachment=211675:IMG_1452783978_30052.jpg][attachment=211676:IMG_1452783992_11307.jpg][attachment=211677:IMG_1452783992_28754.jpg][attachment=211678:IMG_1452784007_30471.jpg][attachment=211679:IMG_1452784007_34170.jpg][attachment=211680:IMG_1452784007_36392.jpg][attachment=211674:IMG_1452783978_22878.jpg][attachment=211673:IMG_1452783978_65391.jpg]

    [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The 3-Bands were all set flat (center detent), the Classic (no center detent) both knobs on approx. 50%.

    Agree with you! I have played a lot of 34" scale 5 string basses - Musicman (incl. Bongo, Sterling, etc.) is still a reference to me. Glad you all like the tone of the Classic. It is the only StingRay 5 that is going to stay with me. Simply can not afford to "collect" them. But to me it is a great compromise with "best of both worlds" - and of course - I dig the figured neck.

    Thanks! I have to admit I was surprised to find out that the ALNICO/2-Band EQ is closer to the Ceramic/3-Band than the ALNICO/3-Band. Eventhough the 2-Band has a little more of that "hiss" that I (to be honest) sometimes EQ out with the highcut filter (>8 KHz) of my Boss GT-10B. Don't tell Leo!

    [color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]I'd like to share with you my comparisson of the three different StingRay 5 types: 3-Band with Ceramic [/size][/font][/color]PU[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3] and ALNICO [/size][/font][/color]PU[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3], 2-Band Classic). All three basses have a maple fretboard, ash body and are equipped with Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinkys. Happy for some thumbs up or a comment.[/size][/font][/color] [url="https://youtu.be/s-aUNbUu268"]https://youtu.be/s-aUNbUu268[/url] [url="http://forums.ernieball.com/attachments/music-man-basses/29405d1454485117-musicman-stingray-5-comparisson-alnico-vs-ceramic-2-band-vs-3-band-video-clipboard01.jpg"][attachment=211372:Clipboard01.jpg][/url]

    Here's a video of this beautiful bass (being compared with two other StingRay 5 models): [url="https://youtu.be/s-aUNbUu268"]https://youtu.be/s-aUNbUu268[/url] [attachment=211371:Clipboard01.jpg]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sale is another great SR5, black/maple (2005) in excellent condition for 950 GBP/1200 EUR. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Got it from a collector with so many basses that he did not seem to play it a lot. The body does not have a single nick, dent or scratch due to handling and the neck/fretboard are very clean. Only (and I believe this happened while completing the bass) at the bridge is a little spot where the coating shows a stress crackle from obviously pulling the bridge screws to tight. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight is 4.65 kg on my scales.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Comes with the OHC in used but functional condition.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Let me know if you have any question.

    What does it weight? Thanks.
  20. Meypelnek
    Wow. Love that sparkle!
  21. Meypelnek
    Bongo!
  22. Meypelnek
    Hi Jamie. Cash is preferred. Any trade offer should be a bass/amp (plus cash my way) I can sell pretty quickly to finally have the funds for my desired new Bongo ;-)
  23. Meypelnek
    New price! Anybody out there who wants this beauty? :-)
  24. Meypelnek
    Bongo! Bongo!
