Or is periodic reposting the only way to keep a wanted post visible? Thanks

I think the N7 serial indicates 1997 rather than 2008.

Current tuners are 84grams each, so a total of 336grams.

Is this tuner weight for a new Stingray Special or an old style Stingray?

I've been meaning to experiment with adding a couple of small inline resistors (as above) to a standard VVT wiring setup, but I believe that just backing of both vols slightly has the same effect. Backing off both vols certainly allows for smoother variations in tone when blending the pups. You do lose a bit of volume but that's easy to make up at the amp input gain.

Thanks 👍

Hi Chris, sorry to ask but what's the weight of the remaining PJ body? Thanks, Ian

Part and parcel of tube sound is power supply sag.

This short article about tube rectifiers and power supply sag is an interesting read (well it was to me anyway!)

Thanks, not quite big enough for my small mixer desk I'm afraid. Cheers anyway and GLWTS

What are the internal dimensions? I looked at the link but couldn't see any specs.

I've not tried to upload audio but you can attach files so I think that should work.

Hearing a demo on bass would be really useful if you can post one?

Thanks for the weight

I'm interested too and would love to hear a demo of it being used with bass. I've scoured youtube but can only find demos with guitar, usually as a front end to another valve amp. Can you provide a quick bass demo with this one?

This might help - https://www.electronicstalk.org/polyester-vs-polypropylene-capacitors-which-one/.

What is the exact weight please? An accurate weight in gms if you can (not bathroom scales).

Pm'd

Thanks for the weight.

Yes please, can you dig out the scales and add the weight?

I'm surprised this is still here, they're amazing little combos. Work well for upright and BG and pack an incredible punch for such a small package. I have an old 80s 200MB model which has seen a lot of action over the years and is still going strong!

Strings & Things in Brighton are UK distributors for Ernie Ball, it might be worth giving them a call. I needed a new truss rod wheel a few years ago and they were very helpful. https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/contact-us

Plugging the f-holes would also help to reduce feedback. Something like this - https://reverb.com/item/34668208-f-hole-foam-inserts-reduce-feedback-on-your-late-model-guild-x-175

Just bought a Matt Freeman pickup from Dave. Seamless transaction and received a couple of days later. Pleasure to do business with. Many thanks!

I will have these please, pm'd.

Personally I'd just hang on to the SUB neck in case you ever want to put the SUB back together again. I made the mistake of selling a 'spare' Stingray neck a few years ago and shortly afterwards wished I'd kept it!

If you're intent on selling it, then you'd probably realise more value overall by reassembling the USA SUB and selling it as a complete bass and then getting a new body for the SS fretless. USA SUBS are great basses (it's my current gigging bass) and they're pretty well sought after.

If you just want a standard SR body (rather than a custom build) you can get one for around £200 from guitarandbassbuilds.com here - https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/collections/custom-bass-bodies/products/custom-shop-music-man-stingray-bass-body.
