Been looking at these, wanting an analogue filter pedal, my tone factor broke lots of options out there!

Pick up has seen some action! Needs a clean!

Been playing mine a lot this morning, random photo!

Jut checked the date of manufacture of mine from the serial number March 8th 1999 didnt realise it was that old Tony

I weighed my sterling tonight if I’ve not played it for a while, when I pick it up it feels heavy, but on a strap it’s fine so I weighed it, 10lbs 🤪 that’s heavy for a smaller body bass! its sounds and plays great Tony

My genzler is good for that, also goes the opposite way if needed my old streamliner had a nice vintage tone too it i hear people refer to Anguilla TH’s as old school sounding and the dark glass amps always sound like they do a good job in that area! Tony

Thanks for that link, was after one of the solid colours, but will keep an eye on this one I have Musician caprice set up with notifications in eBay, so surprised I didn't se it Tony

The cutlass has a P style neck and Caprice has J style I've been after a Caprice for a while, not many coming up second hand now There seems to be a few Cutlass available if you look around Tony

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!
