    Not a bass, but totally related to it, it's my JBC SL 2300 soldering station bought around 35 years ago, used a lot since then on thousands of items, almost every day in the beginning and at least once a week since a few years. It was costing a lot back then, the price of a new good quality bass... I'm going to change the tip for the first time after around 35 years as soon as I receive the official one ordered.

    Yep @Quatschmacher, here: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/musicman-stingray-sabre-mute-pad-kit/

    Last year with the "original" bridge where the mutes were simply definitely factory removed. GLWYS.

    The reading with active pickups is quite useless especially if they weren't powered when doing it... With active pickups, the pots are generally 25 kOhms. If Seymour Duncan is saying 100 kOhms, they must have a reason so following what the designers have established is always the best idea.

    @Ruarl Try the LaBella Super Steps or the F Bass or the Rotosound Piano String Design or the Kalium or the Galli EC and the likes with the exposed cores. Newtone is also making some and is always a pleasure to deal with.

    Because Google didn't study Latin @ezbass. 😉

    This was my Sei Flamboyant 6, excellent bass, for sure, but I traded it for I don't remember what, ask @binky_bass... Hoc non debevo vendere.

    I have the same logo as yours on my 1979 Stingray (with the encircled R)... The bridge is, of course, an excellent indicator of authenticity, because of its unique features, but the stamps and pot date codes are way more precise, especially the stamps. 😉 At this price tag, it should be a good idea to have these details photographed as I'm sure a connoisseur buyer will ask for these, so being proactive doesn't harm. 😉😉😉

    Wow, lovely 😍! There are other ways to attest the year than the serial number: pot date codes and stamps in the neck pocket and at the heel of the neck. According to George Fullerton, the stamps can be missing and it happened more than thought... And according to him again, it's a polyester finish as they were the only one prone to cracking. CLF who was making the instruments for Music Man up to late 1979 (when Leo left) were using nitro, polyester or polyurethane finish quite randomly, but polyurethane was the least problematic.

    And how much does it weigh now?

    Richter in Germany also have a twin buffer preamp in their range. https://www.richter-ee.de/mixer.html EBS had a terrific buffered preamp too, but it's not made anymore.

    All the above is the reason why I stopped attending "rock" concert something like 2 decades ago: deaf "sound engineers" are a real pain in the āss. And the funny thing is that I was always standing near the mixing desk, because this is were the sound was the least bad... 🤮 We go mainly to jazz (where the sound engineers know what the mediums are for) or classical concerts where the sound is ALWAYS good. Ok, classical concerts are (most of the time) unamplified, but the musicians placement is a science too and is sound engineering in itself.

    You named it before @itu: Bartolini...

    I would say simply dead strings coupled to a heavy attack with the bridge pickup full on and a tad bit of neck pickup, tone full on, through the all flat KRK speakers, recorded with a phone.

    There was no fretless version way back in 1989 when it was first released, even if Hans-Peter Wilfer is also pretending that the body shape is reminiscent of a dolphin (that he certainly never saw and had to put dolphin inlays for clarification). ☝🏻🤓
  20. Hellzero
    Because on the first edition something like 30~35 years ago, the fingerboard inlays were dolphins. 😉

    Superb looking bass, but considering the woods used I'm afraid to read the weight...

    Just in case intelligere means reading between the lines. Just think about it.

    The true good side to A.I. is that human beings who are already assisted will become extinct quite fast.

    Same for me, I listened to the album when it was released and found it really meh with overuse of autotune, but this Tiny Desk concert is just so good!
