BassAgent Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Oh my that is absolutely perfect. In the meantime I'm having a fretless neck built for my Sterling Ray34. I bought it with a Status graphite neck but I wanted a slimmer neck, and a wood neck. So I contacted a befriended luthier here in the Netherlands and he's building a flame maple neck for me, with an unlined fretless ebony board. Can't wait! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Today, something special happened. Last week I got a call from the editor-in-chief of the Dutch bass magazine, if I wanted to check a radio knob Stingray. Well, of course I did. So today I met the guy representing the owner to check out the bass. Such a special instrument. What a bass. https://i.imgur.com/52OhpZJ.mp4 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 When I bought my Stingray Ray34 it came with a Kent Armstrong pickup and a Status Graphite fretless neck. I didn't like the pickup so I replaced it with a Nordstrand pickup. I also didn't reeeeally like the graphite neck, so I had a maple/ebony unlined neck made by Peter Boekholt (pbbasses.com). It was finally finished so I picked it up yesterday! Very very happy with this beautiful neck. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying the different vibe of the 5 opposed to 4s which I couldn't really gel with. Guys Looking to clean up my fretboard a bit (as much as possible) Aware I'd have to go the steel wool route to get rid of dark patches on maple from sweat etc. over the years which I'm not arsed trying for fear of messing up board. Any suggestions for good cleaner to get rid of some of the grime and bring back some original shine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnDeereJack Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I don't think I've posted this before but apologies if I have! Here's my sparkly orange 5-string H/S Bongo. A fabulous thing even if I do say so myself! (I realise Bongo's are kinda 'Marmite' in terms of their appearance but I think they're incredibly well designed basses!) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
