[color=#ff0000][size=6]SOLD[/size][/color] Hi, I'm putting this back up for sale. It's a USA 2001 3EQ stingray bass. Black with the most beautiful flamed maple neck I've seen. Bass is in fantastic condition with very few marks, the build quality is in my opinion custom shop quality. Very tight neck, a lot of fret life left... can't really fault it. There are 4 pickguards all with a custom thumb rest fitted which matches the chrome perfectly, it can be taken off too. This has not required any mods to the bass at all, there aren't any marks left either. Comes all original with the original hardshell case, bridge key and manual. Strings are high beam heavy chromes which haven't been used too much. Price is £760 by paypal or bank transfer (preferred), shipped. Additionally you can pick it up from Solihull in person and pay with cash. Obviously if you aren't in the UK it will cost more for postage, ask me for a quote. I am losing out on what I paid for this, only selling to finance a P bass because it gives me the tone I'm after. Bought here from 'dangee' not too long ago (before him, owned by 'Eubassix'). Thanks.

I've seriously considered getting a T40 a few times as a second bass. I'm a little put off by the weight and it doesn't look too great to me, but you can't go wrong for the price they go for. If one comes up cheap I may have to get it .

On another forum I read about glow in the dark bright tape, doesn't look great but you can take it off and it does the job.

So did fender use chrome or nickel on P basses 57-65?

[quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1319403088' post='1413804'] Nickel for tuners - except the 'posts' which were chrome. Chrome for the bridge plate. Which other bits do you want to know about? [/quote] Everything really, I'm planning a 62 with a 57 maple neck build but I want to know which hardware to use. Any websites I can look at? Cheers. -
Because you lot asked me to do it....

I have to admit, I laughed out loud when I saw the title to the pickups auction . -

Krist used these and rippers mostly, he's a big fan of Gibsons. That said I think this is very overpriced. The main reason they used these instruments is because they found them cheap in pawn shops. Theres a video of Krist explaining that Kurt was happy because he got his 69 mustang cheap from a student I think - he used it in the teen spirit video and live a lot. Anyhoo, it's probably a better investment to buy a vintage RD. Gibson isn't great these days in design and quality control aspects, check out the 'firebird x' . If you want this due to the changes then go ahead but there's probably far better bang for buck bass' out there.

I would have thought someone around here would know the answer to this . -

As the title says, just curious because I can't find an answer on google. Might build a P bass and want it to age naturally (over many years) exactly the same as the vintage basses from 57-65 pre cbs. If they used both what did they use for what? Thanks.

[quote name='CBbass' timestamp='1319123897' post='1410271'] Hey mate, it is 3eq. It has a mid control (4th knob) which makes it 3eq. The bass you linked has both passive & active switch, it's not your standard stingray. Google images 3 and 2 eq and they are quite different. [/quote] To summerise this, this bass is only active and not passive. The pictured bass is both.
