Kev Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 im tempted to put an abalone scratchplate on it, reckon it'd look good??

Kev Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 seems a decent price in that ebay listing too, might give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 it could look really good or really bad with an abalone scratchplate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 yep, which is why i aint bought one yet, still tryin to figure out if id prefer just the black or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 It would detract from the amazing finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 one of the best colours MM ever did. great looking 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) okay, gone with the wooden neck, in with the graphite [attachment=12120:DSC00383.JPG][attachment=12121:DSC00388.JPG] [attachment=12122:DSC00386.JPG][attachment=12123:DSC00394.JPG] [attachment=12125:DSC00400.JPG] pictures dont do it justice, it just looks stunning the sound has improved just as much as well, just generally 'better', more growl, more highs, more defined lows etc etc, amazing apologies for laptops terrible soundcard (it actually wont even let me use overdrive without farting out ) Edited August 14, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Can definitely hear that graphite neck.. I remember comparing my Stingray with a Flea. The Modulus was much more defined and punchy, but less organic, a little too hifi perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yep Kev that neck makes it for me. Not a great fan of SR5's normally. Really nice now. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Just listened to the sound clip, Kev. Nice little varied concert you gave there! Excellent sounding, isn't it? Very unique bite to it as well. I might do one of those myself at some point. I can see why you like it, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 i love it, as has been said the graphite neck makes a massive difference, i dont think i could go back to wooden now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cracking bass. stupidly sold it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 by that i meant i would never put the wooden neck back on the stingray, and i would certainly take that bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
