    Withdrawn. 1988 Musicman Stingray. So 27 years old, lots of dings / dents as shown in the pics. 2 Band Eq Black/Maple 4 bolt neck Chrome Battery Cover. Birdseye neck/Skunk stripe. Bullet Trussrod Late 1980's Stingray are said to be some of the best era ones as a "transition" era. All the cool pre-EB features are here; mutes, 4 bolt neck, bullet truss rod, metal battery plate. A real players bass. Not pristine or showroom condition by any means. The neck is, of course, very nicely played in, with lovely sign of wear on the gloss coating Price is £899. Pics here:

    What bass were you using? Active bass, with battery all but dead and distorting? If bass is common factor try a new battery in it.

    [quote name='Russ' timestamp='1442435608' post='2867008'] Got a nice Spector-related story for you. Back in 2004, I found a nice blue Spector NS5-CRFM on eBay for a really good price. The seller was in the US, and wouldn't ship internationally, so I had to think of something. I was planning a little holiday in the States in February 2005, so I contacted an online acquaintance of mine in the next town over from where I was staying (Edison, NJ) and asked if she could take delivery of the bass, and I'd pick it up when I got there. So that's what happened. And a year later I married her. That special Spector ended up getting sold about a year later, as we were a bit skint and needed the cash. About a year later, whilst browsing eBay (as you do) a familiar-looking blue Spector showed up, this time for an even cheaper price. Turns out it was my old one, and it was cheap because the truss rod was broken. So I bought it and had it shipped to my in-laws' place in the US. Next time we went over to visit, I made arrangements with PJ to take the bass up to the Spector workshop just outside Woodstock, NY (tiny little town called Saugerties, with a little shop right next door run by a hippie British expat that sells British import food). They replaced the truss rod for me, then and there, for free. Now that's proper customer service, above and beyond the call of duty. And I still have that bass. Never letting it go again. [/quote] Great story - show us a photo please! (of the bass)

    SOLD [size=4][color=#282828]Up for sale is my Japanese made, Yamaha TRB-4P. Excellent build quality through neck Japan TRB with Piezo bridge which when dialled in gives added clarity to the overall tone. With original case – bass is in great condition for a 22 year old bass, just one small nick behind the bridge and some small scuffs on the tip of the headstock - see pictures. Serial number dates the bass to 1993 - Copy and paste of the blurb and specs below:[/color][/size] [b] Piezo Pickups in Solid Brass Bridge[/b] [color=#000000]The piezo pickups used on the TRB models use individual bimorphous piezo elements for each string, all built into a specially designed bridge which is machined from solid brass.[/color] [b] Figured Maple Body with Thru-neck Construction[/b] [color=#000000]The TRB-series basses feature figured maple bodies that offer the requisite tone as well as outstanding visual appeal.[/color] [b] Neck-thru Models[/b] [color=#000000]Because piezo pickups directly pick up the resonance of the instrument body, the body itself must be made from the finest woods and designed to deliver rich, deep tone. The neck-thru design of theses basses affords the best possible foundation for this amazing sound.[/color] [b][u][font=Arial][color=#282828]Specs[/color][/font][/u][/b] [color=#000000][color=#282828][b]Body:[/b] Select Japanese Ash, [b]Neck:[/b] Neck through, Maple & Mahogany.

    I agree and think the pickups are fine, to me the stock pre amp is a bit weak. IMO, certainly the weakest link in otherwise fantastic, very high quality basses.

    I had an MIJ SB320 that I put a Kiogon loom into. Just a simple Volume, Volume, Tone, Tone set up. Transformed the instrument into an even better bit of kit. Would recommend something along those lines.

    Lovely bass. I have an identical 4 string twin sister. There are a number of online Yamaha Serial Number dating tools - you can decipher it from the serial number. Drop me a message if you can't work it out and I'll try and help.

    Lovely bass. I've got a similar vintage 1988 Blk,Blk,Maple one. Some of the best Stingrays are said to date from this era.

    [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1441706348' post='2860977'] I was watching the 'Standing In The Shadows Of Motown' film last night. I found it interesting when they mentioned the tone of the drums - the fact that even they had a 'tone' or 'note' to them. I find that pretty much most, if not all, modern productions leave me cold - they all sound to me like they've been made in either an aircraft hanger (wide and spacious, no feeling), or that everything is squashed together (love Rush, and the album, but step forward 'Clockwork Angels'). Modern drums go puffffttt, and cymbals shhhhhttt, whereas we all know proper cymbals go tssssst! There's science here, chaps! ....and that's before the modern bass tones - no definition. Rant over! [/quote] Agreed - strangely enough I lent my copy of Standing In The Shadows Of Motown to Mr Drums at rehearsal last night. Will be interested to hear his thoughts.

    Has all been said above, but the key factors are the pickup type, sweet spot position and the EQ. The voicing on the EQ plays a major role in the Stingray Tone - I have a 1988 Stingray 2 EQ and it is the only bass I have where I do not boost the bass EQ up to approx 60 to 70% ! Mr EAD is right for the quick and dirty option - I have a Zoom B9 that has a "Flea MM" pre set sound. This does a very good impression of a Stingray with most basses, certainly good enough to approximate the tone in a live mix. Now I'm back in the gigging game my one bass solution for different core sounds is a Warwick $$.
