    Weekend bump!

    Having a bit of a clearout of things I thought I'd use but haven't..... I've got a pair of 5 string Tobias bass pickups that I bought of eBay a few years ago but never got round to using. I have checked the coil resistance and the pick-ups read 18.4k and 18.9k. I haven't tried them in a bass but have connected them to an amp to make sure they work. Both pickups are in really good condition with very little marking. Dimensions are 105mm x 40 mm x 20mm I have no idea which Tobias bass these came from. Looking for £30 the pair plus postage (is that reasonable?? - I'd never make it as a salesman...) Cheers [attachment=59410:DSC03188.JPG]

    I've got both a SUB 4 and SUB 5 and I have to say that they are both great basses. The tone is superb, though the treble can be a bit harsh if turned up too much. Like many other comments on here, I just don't like the look of the 'Ray 5 due to the scratchplate. Easy enough to source a replacement scratchplate for the horrible looking checker-plate one on the SUB 4 but a bit more tricky for the SUB 5. Now that Ernie Ball do a 5 string Classic 'ray it should be possible to get a more tasteful replacement!! I've also got a Vintage musicman copy which is nothing like the SUB 4 in my opinion. Sound wise it is poor in comparison despite the 3 band eq and the neck is a lot thinner (though I do quite like that!!). But the big difference is price - the Vintage would cost about £75 secondhand and a SUB 4 would be about £350... I'm going to get rid of the Vintage very soon as it just doesn't get a look in since I bought the SUB basses.

    Oh dear, someone is in for a nasty surprise when that gets delivered!! You would hope that bidders would do a little research on what they are bidding on - you've only got to look at the lack of serial number and the shape to see it isn't a genuine Stingray or even and OLP... Anyone know where I can get one of those Musicman decals from? Got an old MM copy worth about £50 that it looks like I could get more for...

    [quote name='TheGreek' post='946371' date='Sep 5 2010, 05:13 PM']Got one of these the other day - swapped it for my 5 string Warwick Rockbass corvette - love the weight, set up, feel, low action - but the pick ups are absolutely POOO. Anybody know of a decent replacement for the EMG Selects that come as standard??[/quote] I've got a Hohner B2A and the stock p-ups on that weren't great so I changed them to ones by Kent Armstrong about 10 years ago - much more like it and have wiring options for single coil/humbucker etc. Don't think they appeared as stock items on their website but might be worth trying to contact them through WD Music UK. www.wdmusic.co.uk Cheers

    I've got a Stingray Sub which I think sounds great but I find the neck a bit chunky - prefer a jazz type neck. Does anyone know what the necks on these Sub Sterlings are like? Is this one still available??
