im pretty much certain the next high end bass il be buying will be a headless status graphite thru, they seem to look and sound gorgeous, S2's especially gotta start saving for those blue side led's for my 'ray first though!

i think we should have a poll, which musicman is the BEST Stingray Sterling Bongo stingray stingray stingray for me, pity the bongo looks so hideous, coz it does sound pretty awesome

i can't afford one

i wish they would do a HH option with the humbuckers next to each other warwick $$ styley, i could never deal with a bass with a pickup so close to the neck, but i bet it sounds great, nice bas

seems nice, definatly agree with the fretboard how do these compare with the US made ones?

i miss all my colourful pedals, but tbh i just dont use effects anymore, just add a bit of light grit with my DHA, and some heavier overdrive with my odb-3, n thats about it. i only really use the zoom as a tuner and a limiter.

have you asked if he can drill the holes for you and just send you the neck? thats the hardest part, fitting the neck to the body n stringing up n that is simple, and i imagine would save you quite a bit (doesnt rob charge £100 for fitting it?)

how the f*** is alan gunna get in his house now then!

sadly, that furry black n white one is mine....

just a quick low light one of my two basses together, the OLP has the old wooden blue dawn 5 neck on [attachment=11968:DSC00400.JPG]

i just wish i had a better camera obbm how is the nord in comparison to the stock MM? and did i read you had an aggie obp-3 in yours??

iv never heard a low B like it heres a few pics i took earlier, phone camera quality im afraid, cliche but pics just don't do it justice [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29516223@N06/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/29516223@N06/[/url]

I am sure the neck sounds fantastic on the musicman, I agree that the difference is quite pronounced. I must agree with the comment on the olp/status although that bass really came into it's own in a band situation, something about the sound just cut through the mix like a knife Are you in a band yourself? If so it will be interesting to see how you find your first practice with it. Well spotted about the harmonics too, the olp/status was fantastic for any bits of jaco, I have to work so much harder to get them to ring out on my jazz.[/quote] nah not in a band at the mo and dont think i will be this year either, my uni course is going to be VERY demanding this year, and i wont have time for much else really. its probably because of my natural dislike of passive basses that makes me not like the olp's sound tbh. but i still cant get enough of the status blue'ray (im trying out different names, its a bit long winded saying the whole title!), id love to have a jam and see how well it performs there, every note is crystal clear, i can imagine it slices through the mix like a hot knife through butter

it could well be, but you'd really be prepared to pay that for a guitar pedal?

just sold this gent my peavey 6er, great guy to deal with, and he seems happy with the bass too! good guy

hows it goin?

red tinted series 2 wins it for me out of that lot, very nice

student loans cant be released yet surely, unless you have enrolled for your next year very early :S

the olp/status was okay, but i certainly preffered the sound of the stingray 5 with original neck, something about the olp just sounds a bit, well, cheap and im not mad about the feel of it, cant pin what it is. now they have swapped, obviously i think the 'ray is amazing, the olp again doesnt really get close to how the stingray sounded with its wooden neck, but its good enough i think. i have to say i HATE the olp bridge

the neck seems dead straight, i have the action at my usual 2-3mm and its great, spent a good hour or so getting the intonation right and now its just superb. truss rod needed loosening just slightly but thats all

fantastic, the tone difference was alot more than i was expecting, the bass has alot more growl (yup, a stingray with [i]more[/i] growl!) and just pretty much everything sounds just..better! the harmonics of the sound are so much more pronounced, its just exactly what i want a stingray to sound like. i dont think il be buying another bass for a very long time iv stuck my stingray neck onto the olp and give that a quick setup too, doesnt sound too bad but sounds a bit cheap when compared to the statiray , it wont get played much but at least it gives the 'ray's old neck some use!
