Total Watts

  1. Lovely! Tort plate with that finish and black pickup covers every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
  2. That looks lush 😍😍 I had a Tribute M2500 which I really liked but not long afterwards I had to sell it on here as part of a cull to get a bass I coveted a while.
  3. Beautiful bass😍 I had one of these semi hollow Asats in cherryburst which I traded with tonyf on here. Also a bound gold sparkle solid body Asat bass too. They look and sound fantastic. GLWTS!

    Pairs

    2022 Raspberry Burst and 2023 Smoked Chrome
  5. Ah cheers Mike yes I now see the one for $500. Will have another look. Have you placed an order? Keir
  6. Really lovely figured neck on this one which looks lush on the roasted maple. Plus the camera never catches the sparkle of the smoked chrome. It's a real looker in person. GLWTS!
  7. Newly aquired 2022 Raspberry burst Special. Also pictured is my 2023 Smoked Chrome.
  8. Prices for the five are showing as starting at almost double what it cost me for my Apollo 4 string including import costs. Bit gutted as was told these would be a few hundred more. Ah well one less thing to worry about having to save for. Every cloud....
  9. I'm a late convert to these but I rate mine very highly indeed. I consider it my gigging#1. Superb basses!
  10. Parallel - more transparent, open sounding than series. Like a Stingray but with a little extra grind due to the ceramic pickup and voicing of the preamp Single coil - more focused, thinner sounding, actually found the more I used this the more I liked it. Series - biggest sounding of the three with more low mids? Just never felt it worked for me as such because the almost smiley face EQ curve in the parallel setting was what I liked about musicman from the off. Deep bottom with almost clicky top πŸ™‚ All of the above goes for the Stingray 5. Old habits die hard.
  11. I just bought Bobby's Classic StingRay off him. He was kind enough to accept a holding deposit while we sorted the logistics then offered to bring the bass to me. Spent some time yesterday geeking out on bass and Bobby got to try my basses (think the ACG 4 was the winner) Bobby's a top fella with some great stories to tell and the man seriously knows his basses. Nice player too! The Stingray is fantastic, was a great price it's gone a good new home next to a pair of Sabres. All in such an easy deal. Bobby went above and beyond imo and I really appreciate how easy he made it all. Deal with him in absolute confidence. Many thanks Bobby. All the best!
  12. I've owned a few. Love the neck profile, probably still my favourite 4 string bass neck out there. I never used the series setting (closest to neck) on either my Sterlings then or Stingray 5 basses now. Parallel (nearest to bridge) 90% of the time but I do like the middle single coil setting as well. Congratulations! Black/black/maple is an iconic look on a MusicMan too😍
  13. Seen a few used ACGs around this price point and I was always trying to work out how I could buy them. Now that I own a couple of ACGs myself I think it's a bit of a shame that they're the prices they are (undervalued) but also that it's such a sweet spot price wise having them compete with offshore copies and the like. There's no comparison and an ACG at this money wipes the floor with most if not all. Just my tuppence worth.
