Just as @SugarlessJ mentioned in the Wal clone thread: "The dude from Herrick is selling one of his pickups and a Lusithand single nfp special in a Stingray Sub bass. I bought the prototype and with some fresh strings it sounds wild." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335620793928 Really interesting for those ... interested. 🤪😉

@NancyJohnson, 300 quids for this is quite a bargain:

@NancyJohnson, it's just what @PaulThePlug found on Gumtree, not what he's offering. 😉

I'm a member of the Fun Sport Society too since more than 40 years and I'm about to retire now as I think I've tried almost everything bass related on Earth. 🤪🤦🥳🤣

And here, the two official wiring possibilities from Ernie Ball Music Man:

The official reference is Switchcraft 113X. 😉 https://www.switchcraft.com/assets/1/24/110x-m110x_series_cd.pdf?5406 You can find it here at a normal price: https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Switchcraft/113X?qs=iwvYsH9bSFbrUaj7QgyZ6A%3D%3D&srsltid=AfmBOoqhz7UfD89CrWZlOZAJMRlC2_sCGRrr2q8MhwZkTH-_NYfW8N7R

A GSS 06B400 Mini Bass Amp works very well with an EUB or a double bass. https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-c2x15043753

Thanks a lot @hiram.k.hackenbacker, I'll send you a PM a bit later as I have some work to finish.

These are small spare parts for my very old real Stingray @chriswareham 😉

There's an "Items Wanted" section here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/22-items-wanted/ Would be better to move this request there.

I tried this and I'm still waiting for an answer @pineweasel ...

I'm in Belgium... 😉

Mods, feel free to move this to the right place! Is there someone in the USA who can order small parts (only available for the USA) from Ernie Ball and send them to me in a padded envelope? It's not much, but I would appreciate to have these spare parts. Please contact me through PM. Thanks a lot. 😊

My 1979 fretless Music Man Stingray, a delight to play and stare at. I'm waiting for a transparent pickguard as the wood grain on the body is just wonderful.

Brian bought a Music Man Stingray style body and some bits, as he likes to say, from me. Everything was done the way a true gentleman proceeds. Ultra fast payment, excellent communication and a patient person as the delivery was slower than usual. Top bloke to deal with. Bye bye 'til the next time. 😉

In the pre-eq mode, the signal is taken just after the first (half of of the first) 12AX7. A 12AX7 is a twin triode, so it has 2 halves.

Listen to old/early blues recordings and you'll notice that they are tuned to the "how the most difficult to tune is right now", so it can be anything and even, to modern, ears, totally out of tune, but as they were all untuned to the same frequency, everything works. The "worst" are the solo guitarists, who were very often totally untuned, but they were making music without any problem as their instrument had strings tuned to themselves. Also learn Indian music or go to an Indian music concert, and you'll notice that first the pitch is decided by the singer and second he/she exposes the intervals which are never fixed and decided by the singer just before the event. In their music theory, the notes in their multiple scales all have the same name (sa ri ga ma pa dha ni), but the intervals and the pitch are not fixed, which is very clever and that's the reason of the adjustable (moveable?) frets on the sitar. Tuning to a fixed frequency is just for the ease of interpreting "classical" music the same way anywhere in the world.

I have some Hosco (V shaped) and Ibanez (round shaped) sets for bass and guitar and they both work fine depending on what type of groove is needed.

Or is it like in an Orange Orang Utan in Utah called Cheetah the Raging Flanger.

Then there's the George Benson trick: repeat your mistakes, so they become a part of what you're playing. Ok, it's not the easiest way, but mistakes are totally normal for real human beings, only robots make no mistakes and it's so boring. I remember seeing Queyras once with his strings quartet fighting against his cello all night and making mistakes, but he got all the applauses in the end... Beauty lies in the imperfection, not the perfection.

It's on my watchlist.

I've done a similar process here with some vintage Fender basses, telling people that what they are selling is not what they pretend to be. And some established names are also selling fakes and don't know the exact specifications of what they are selling also pretending that it's fully original. The answer is always the same: Mind your own business! So why bother...

Agreed @Geek99 as I'm only 1.82m tall.
