TJAS92 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hey guys, Pretty much what it says on the tin. I've got a stingray body knocking around from an old Harley Benton bass, And seeing as I can't afford a real stingray bass I decided that I was going to build one instead I need to know where I could pick up a musicman 5 stringer neck from!! Where would the best place to pick one up? And what do you guys recommend for electrics in it? And bridges? Where can I pick them up? Regards Tj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Necks can often be found on ebay as many people upgrade Ray necks to carbon fibre ones. As far as electronics go, I'd be really tempted to go for one of the DIY 2-band kits, especially if you're on a really tight budget.

Ou7shined Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Finding original parts is going to be a nightmare as EBMM do not sell spares meaning most MM basses tend to remain original. But you might find some cheapie bits and bobs [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=musicman+5&_sacat=0&_odkw=musicman&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313"]here[/url].
