Kev

is it the right time to ask that newbies shouldnt be aloud to post threads in the for sales forums yet??? or are the mods still gunna insist its up to the buyer to have the sense not to go into a dodgy deal, despite the person ripped off this time being a long standing member?

"This (musicman stingray) was custom made to my liking in the 70s with the custom body type"

^^ did you buy it?? pity the idea that someone was seriously gunna buy this for Rob hasnt actually been posted here

if you want phase and filter then you need to check out the pigtronix ep-1 nice review, have to say its never been a pedal that has appealed to me, as i always thought it was a guitar pedal that wouldnt work well on bass

[quote name='Shonks' post='351253' date='Dec 10 2008, 09:31 PM']I just won this thing on ebay for £381.99 and now i think it's a fake - its a pre Ernie Ball logo - but the brigde is post ernie ball - the pup is definately wrong!! I've just contacted the seller to confirm the bass is genuine - and i want some better pix before I part with any cash!! I also asked for the serial number...lets see what happens!!.?? Shonks[/quote] glad you'v found this thread mate, i can confirm from pictures alone it is most certainly a fake, and by the looks o things absolutly no part of it is genuine stingray. the only thing that we cant tell at the moment is whether or not there is a real musicman preamp in there, but lets be honest, there wont be. Don't pay and report to ebay if he gives you any problems Khide is my ebay name btw

iv emailed the winning bidder too, nice to see we got this guy beaten, hopefully

good stuff, hopefully the bidder hasnt payed.

f*** it il go, iv been playing for nearly 2.5 years... [b]Fender Squier standard series 2006[/b]: bought brand new from a guitar shop in manchester. Didn't have a clue what i was looking for really, but i thought it was pretty so i bought it. Lasted me 2 months before i realised that it wasn't what i wanted. Sold it on ebay. [b]Musicman SUB IV[/b]: bought this second hand off ebay. I adored it, it blew the squier out the water and it was so more suited to me. I learnt to play bass "properly" on this bass, and i did love it. This one lasted me about a year and a half i think. Sold it on basschat. [b]Peavey Grind 6[/b]: decided to go crazy and try a 6 string, bought this off ebay. A lovely instrument, nicely balanced and a pretty playable neck, although i did realise with this bass that unfinished necks wern't for me. However i ended up playin this bass more than the SUB at the time because it worked better with effects which i was obsessed with back then. This one lasted me about a year, don't regret selling though. Sold it on basschat. [b]Fender precision special w/aguilar preamp/emg's[/b]: Yup the contraversial p bass. First bass i bought off basschat. I always preffered the look of the bass to the sound. Nice bass, had a great punch to the sound, but i kinda went off the emg's. Lasted me about 5 months, sold on ebay. [b]Westfield Jazz:[/b] Bought this off basschat to modify. Modded it with jap fender pups, a high mass bridge, some nice jazz style knobs and a beautiful neck off ebay. Really quite liked this bass, in fact the way it sounded was a key feature in me selling the fender, however i realised with this i just wasnt comfortable with jazz pickups. owned about 2 months. Sold on basschat. [b]Hudson PBS 6 string[/b]: Loved this bass. The only one i regret selling. Brilliant 6 string, neck dived but was very light and very nice to play. Sounded superb. Really do quite miss it, but i sold it to fund my favourite bass iv ever owned, so i guess thats a good enough cause. Owned for about 4 months Sold on basschat. [b]OLP stingray V[/b]: my first 5 string, owned very briefly for about a month. Wasnt a bad bass, but i didnt dig the sound, very cheap imitation of my old SUB. Sold on basschat. [b]OLP stingray V w/Status neck[/b]: i bought this purely to modify my stingray V with the neck. It played nice as it was, but again the sound was very poor, and sounded horrible compared to my real stingray V. Took it apart straight away and modded my stingray. Had the OLP with the wooden stringray neck for a while but was never played so sold the body on ebay. [b]Musicman Stingray V:[/b] The only bass i currently own. Love its little socks off. I liked it enough with the wooden neck, but once i got the graphite neck on, wow, made it the best bass iv ever played. No bass iv ever tried since has got close to matching how comfortable i am with this bass and its sound. Currently in financial trouble but thanks to parents lending me rent for january looks like il be able to afford to keep it after all . i will never sell this bass unless i face being evicted. bit much for 2.5 years? my bank agrees!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='351188' date='Dec 10 2008, 08:24 PM']I agree, he is saying to me he got it from Sound Control.[/quote] in the 70's to, man i miss the 70's when soundcontrol did custom musicman orders

have a read of this reply: [i]Thanks for the info but I am sorry to say you are wrong. This was custom made to my liking in the 70s with the custom body type and I was not to sure of the specifications but I added in my own of what I saw on the other site. If you think the specs are wrong please let me know and I will be happy to change it. [/i] deary, deary me, reported

id say he doesnt know its fake, i just get that impression, has anyone emailed him telling him why its fake??

[quote name='OldGit' post='348771' date='Dec 8 2008, 04:11 PM']That's not a compressor in the same way as the TE dual or Punch factory. I bought one of the first batch but it just didn't do what I expected a comp to do - as I'd been using onboard ones in Peavy gear. Dave Hall explained that it's supposed to do somthing else which it does very well. Fair enough but it was certainly not what I was after. Then I got the TE dual.[/quote] i loved my old TE dual, but i found my aguilar preamp i had then clipped it even with the input really low

no

[/i] [i]"These basses were limited edition and are no longer in production. You can only get them in standard form and not deluxe." [/i] [/quote] he's sayin they only do standard precisions now, no more deluxes like this one....i think

f***, didnt think he'd accept that low

[quote name='rayfw' post='347866' date='Dec 7 2008, 02:09 PM']Just scored one of the older units from fleabay for £175!!! No pickup with it but even so I think that's a bargain. Am I OK to pick your brains Ped if I need some help setting it up?[/quote] yup was watching that from when it was first listed, me n ped both thought it was good for £300, good effort, if i could afford it i would have!

the other pics it looks superb in that last pic
