Andy, my blue 'ray from the sterling thread had a Seymour Duncan pick up in it, Alnico version if I remember correctly, did a good stingray job in my opinion If you need close up of my sterling, you are more than welcome Tony

I'm currently after a P style bass with a J neck and the Cutlass' brother, the Caprice has my attention Guitar guitar were showing a cutlass at a good price from what I remember EDIT - looks like its sold now Tony

Looks lighter on the bass than it did on the bus!

The colour is very similar to a stingray I had a few years back It was an early one I bought, with mutes at the bridge, someone had tried a crap relic job on it, so it got stripped back and resprayed in nitro. I used some nitro I had left from a VW bus I had sprayed many years ago, colour was niagra blue. After seeing this I am very tempted to do it again with my current sterling I fee a lockdown project coming on I'll see if I can find a pic of the bass and the bus! T

This proves what has always been in my head Have tried several basses that have a MM pick up and none of them nailed that sound, always thought it was p/up position over pre amp. I know it wasn't the p/up as I had a 'ray with a SD alnico in it and it sounded great So I have a sterling and that works for me T

This is the classic sterling I mentioned in an earlier post, I think I would miss that 3 position switch!

Not the best picture of the bass, but the sterling sounds great through this, small foot print, lightweight and a big sound the streamlined has since been replaced with a Genzler

Really enjoy my sterling, plays great if I were to replace it, it would be with one of the classic sterling’s, saw a light blue one yesterday, damn! probably wouldn’t replace it, would just get a classic, it’s that good!

Resurrecting this old thread The caprice has been around for a while and I have serious GAS for one Anyone been using one for a while and have any comments to make? I already have a sterling, like this p/up and combination and the jazz style neck, the diamond blue is a great looking bass Or do I pull the trigger on another P/J bass? Cheers Tony

lets try again!

as in ..... ooops, image didn't save!

The configurator has cooked up a vintage style P bass that has got my attention!

Had mine for a while, it's probably the third one I've had, had Stingrays in between Great basses, nice slim neck, lots of tones to play with, especially when matched with a amp such as a Genzler! I paid about £600 for mine, it's had a few knocks, but has the best neck and is lovely to play Tony

I found that, it may have gone to JTUK, I messaged him, but he's not been on here for a while Tony

yeah, but no messages left, must have deleted them

More info The headstock was changed to show the mckintyre name and ter Chris did some work on it! Tony

Hi i had a sei bass about 10 years back and curious as to where it is now, plus I’d have it back if the opportunity ever came up 5 string white jazz, oval inlays, blue LED in edge of neck with an east preamp that I installed! i lost my messages from when it sold and can’t remember where it went anybody know? Cheers Tony

I'll be going to this! The old Manc' bass days were always good! Tony
