    Yeh never liked the bridge with the mutes! Wayyyyyyyy to big but after that with the extra bolts is perfect to my eye, that’s gotta be a better design than a ‘bent tin plate’ just screwed in🤷‍♂️ that’s what sets the stingray apart, I’m quoting the tin plate from Fender forums!🤣

    i don't understand the thought process behind the bridges on newer & special models with the bridge, what's happened to the bolts that screwed into threaded inserts into the body? it must be better for sustain surely, that to me is a step backwards! (cost cutting)??

    Re-listed as something has come up (as it always does)🤣 Stingray Anniversary 1976-1996, Flamed maple top with Birdseye neck, aside form a small ding by the jack socket and light tarnishing of the tuners its in perfect condition, zero fret wear, comes with original Tweed style hard case, i've replaced the chrome knobs with black one's as i think they look better (originals of course included), i've removed the scratch plate for a better look (IMHO), something i'd have to try and find. these came with a satin finish on the neck, very smooth & playable. recent GHS Pressurewounds. i understand these were made in very limited numbers for 1 year only, a great addition for any Stingray enthusiast. reasonable offers considered, no trades please Can post

    IMHO £3-4K or if you actually want to sell it £2.5-3K, but if its that beat up less, but thats my opinion of course (i repaired some dings on mine it's not as big a deal as Headless USA will have you think, with the right stuff)

    Well I prefered the construction of the L2, more of a resin with real density, I liked my streamline but just couldn’t bond with the shape, the S2000 was nice but I just couldn’t get the action I wanted, and having no truss rod there was nowhere to go in terms of adjustment (unless it went back to Rod involving heat treatment) it sounds cool all this no truss rod business but I don’t think they all stayed perfectly stable, and……i unashamedly cashed in on ‘Rob’s not making anymore’ hysteria🤣

    I guess it depends on ‘U’ or ‘C’ P bass etc etc, I found the status to be shallow front to back as does my current bass (goodfellow) but as you say quite rightly all opinions eh? 🤷‍♂️
  11. roger
    had one of those too!🤦 gotta say though if someone were to reproduce the L2 now I reckon it would fly off the shelves!

    Sold mine last year, if only it had the neck profile of the status, for me the nut was too narrow (38mm from memory) I read that Ned asked Stanley Clarke for advice on the neck to which he advised a narrow nut and deep front to back, neither to my tastes🤷‍♂️

    Hi, so is this an AVRI? Cheers
  16. roger
    Well I did kinda assume as much, so do many other amps have this? Can’t say I’ve seen it, thank you
  17. roger
    Is this a stupid question but why the 2 inputs? (Active & passive basses)?🤷‍♂️ why would you?
  18. roger
    Bargain, forget your PJB headphone amps these are another level and no cables! love mine

    +1 Steinberger, all these years on and it's still groundbreaking, cut short wayyyyy too short too early, stupidly sold my L2 last year! perhaps a 42mm nut with a shallower neck profile and you have perfection IMO, the strap design worked well and wow what sustain, is that because of resin as opposed to graphite? the pure 'mass' of the construction
  23. roger
    tiny bit of heat and cotton thread, it wasn't stuck on there that well in the first place........GO FOR IT, scratch plates are sooooooo 1980's🤣 (IMHO) what the combination on your's? rosewood? quilted?

    Hi all, I have this stunning Musicman 20th anniversary (1976-1996), stunning flamed maple with birds eye maple neck, immaculate other than very slight tarnishing of the tuners and a small ding by the jack socket. I have taken the pickguard off as I think it looks far better without it (it was only stuck on, I’d need to find it) I’ve also changed the knobs to black as I think they looks better (imo), of course I have the originals, comes with its original tweedy type hard case, plays great, these were I think made for 1 year only in a limited qty.

    44mm nut?
