Ooh I like the look of that. I contacted WD Music but they don’t do one for the Special HH yet. I’d have to send them a template. 🙄

Both of mine (black & white) are original musicman ones, not at all cheap but a perfect fit & they're not thin either which I like.

 

Edited for crap spelling 🤦

Not sure if it's of any use but I have a non musicman 4H in Matte Black you could butcher if you want it.

Suppose it depends if the bridge pickup is in the same position 🤔

Yeah thanks for the offer but I believe they are different. That and the fact that if I tried to ‘adjust’ it, it truly would look like it’s been butchered - but with a fork!

Just a note to add on to the pictures .

I'd sold some gear , and was then saving up a bit more (as and when) , for either a 2nd hand Stingray Special , or an Old Smoothie , that I'd seen up - and was in contact with the seller .

A Sterling wasn't particularly on my radar , but it was less than the Stingrays I was looking at , and it's got the piezo bridge ; which adds quite a bit sound wise . Added to the fact that Piezo Stingrays are quite rare , and a Sterling one , even more so . It'll be a nice contrast to my graphite necked Stingray .

So in true BC style - I couldn't help myself . Proper skint now though .

Just acquired this in a straight trade for a 4 string Special.

I have very few regrets about moving basses on, but I really should’ve kept my ‘Ray5.
 

That’s a cracker.

Oy oy oy what's going on with the middle one! 

lol! I had it done in 2005...

Active / passive - 2 way switch for MM pups

Precision  / MM split coil / MM normal -  3 way switch

MM pups -  3 way selector switch. 

Then normal MM 2 band EQ and stacked vol/ tone for the Precision pup 

So it’s a little bit like a Ray, Precision, Jazz and Sabre all in one! 

... hence why some of my basses are now fearing the exit... 😳 😂

Nice. I should imagine with the wider spacing than the HH that the coil split sound gets a decent jazz bass sound?

Yeah it’s nearly there, more closer to a 70s style clinical Jazz if anything. 

As my neck pup is further forward that the Special, and with the way it’s been wired,  it actually turned out much like position 4 on a HH Ray.
