Erm, erm, the he is a she. And she's named Ivca. 😉

And the master Martin Luthier King.

Okay, here it is explained differently: If you leave your jack always plugged, a modern circuitry preamp will take approximately 2 weeks to completely drain the battery. But an old chipset from the 70's named LM4250 and used in the Stingray 2 EQ preamp will take 4 or 5 years to completely drain an always on battery, but that chipset is the exception confirming rule.

Welcome to the club, when I started piano, I was sometimes playing 8 hours a day, which resulted in a superb tendonitis on the right arm forcing me to stop playing during 6 months... Well done.
-
Yep, and there are quite a lot, but having owned luthier basses almost from the day one didn't help with what I may call mass produced "basses".

Sanding a late 80's Stingray neck, sacrilege?
Hellzero replied to Tradfusion's topic in General Discussion
My 1979 pre-Ernie Ball has been refinished the same natural finish as it was originally, but I don't care as it sounds amazing. That said, the OP's Stringray is a 1989 model, not a 1992 model, which the year he bought it, so a tad bit more on the vintage side. -
PS: 15 days is the average time a battery will take to be dead flat with a modern chip even if the 70's LM4250 chipset will take something like 4 or 5 years to totally drain a 9 Volts battery when always powered...

Can you put a photo of the output jack with the wires connected, which let us see where these wires are coming for?

Sorry, couldn't resist after seeing @ziggydolphinboy collection...

On hold! 😊 -
This is where Jaco is at his best, listening to the others and playing music. Well maybe his solo part is not mandatory here, but as Joni Mitchell said, it was the price to pay. The two studio albums are excellent too: Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. You can also try listening to Bright Size Life, with Pat Metheny too, where Jaco was not on the booze and dope at all.

To be very clear: somebody assembling parts IS NOT a luthier, he has to craft them, neither is the guy only changing strings and tuning (when he can) an instrument. There are so many people pretending to be luthiers and who are just wallet emptiers.

MM Stingo. Or it might be a MM Bongray. Now featuring a price drop.

Can you play Constipation Blues with it or should I buy a real Bongo? -
A crazy squirrel is mad.

Just see above...

The official definition of luthier, which is a French word is: crafter of stringed instruments. Hélas, this is not protected.

Then it's not the one I know as it didn't go to Austria.

As long as it's not a Stincko Bongray... -
I think so.
-
How was the setup @SurroundedByManatees ?
-
It's a GSS proprietary module. I owned one and Didier went nuts when I said it looked like a Pascal module.
-
I reckon that the Thomann website is quite a mess. 😉 If you don't have the exact reference, you may spend hours trying to find what you're looking for...

You can buy the Rotosound RS88S here: https://www.muziker.de/rotosound-rs88s And the LaBella 760N-S at Thomann: https://www.thomann.de/de/la_bella_760n_s_black_nylon_tape.htm

@SICbass, your bass is a short scale, not a medium, if you try to put some medium scale strings, there's 80% chances that they will break at the tuner's post as they are not meant to be at a ... broken angle (no pun intended).
