Music Man Reflex 'gamechanger' - price drop to £1200
=^..^= replied to =^..^='s topic in Basses For Sale
-
Pedal bought from Ashdown as I love their signature range - and It's Guy Pratt - who doesn't like guy Pratt ?? But apart from testing it it has sat unused in it's box. So lets find it a great home. Comes with all the "case candy" including the unused rubber feet. Note that it requires a good quality 18v power supply.

I'm sure if some one comes up with a serious offer then I'll do that I'm hesitant to remove any screws into wood or to even ask my luthier to do that - I've always wondered about how much sense that makes - in particular the neck pocket screws. The neck has been nicely settled for the last 10+ years and there are sufficient other indicators of the basses age to mean is it worth the risk to remove it ? But I guess that is a discussion that could happen.

Thanks - there is also a quick way to date them without removing a single screw which is the headstock logo (which could be swapped) and the bridge which would be harder to replace as the "Pre late" 78 bridges have the string though holes in line with the intonation screw http://www.musicmanbass.global/bridges-pre-eb-eb/ Late 78 bridges onwards have the string though hole in line with the saddle groove and they also have a serial number on them It's quite fascinating to see they way little details changed over the first couple of years of production

Pre Ernie Ball - 1977 Musicman stingray B00 serial number Great condition for age - belt rash on the back (but only to be expected) varnish has cracked on the front but it just looks lovely - like it is striped I love this bass, I don't want to sell it but I'm not playing it as I'm only playing 35" scale basses these days (swapping to 34's messes up my muscle memory..) Bought from Andy Baxter bass about 10 years ago and it's all original (aside from mutes and battery clip) The Pre EB serial db drops it in the middle of 77 - but no way to confirm one way or another - just on the serials around this one Incredible sound from it - it has that classic stingray sound that only a stingray can deliver - distinctive and cuts through It was last gigged in 2019 when I lent it to Caro Emeralds bass player when an issue led to their equipment not getting to the venue (gig photo..) . This needs to be played ! Original Hard shell case included. Case has some age related marks too. £4,000 + postage (method can be agreed...) or you can come and collect it

Aaah - thanks mate I figured £1400 based on what it might get rather than what it is worth - a 'ray of the same vintage would go for more - and this is a way more versatile bass but it's had no traction here or on Facebook - maybe wrong time of year with people thinking about Christmas. I'm pretty much only playing 35" scale bases these days as 34" scale messes with my muscle memory otherwise it would be my main bass and I'd be keeping it Just for info the 5 position pickup selector is currently configured Bridge single coil, bridge humbucker, all, front humbucker, front single coil - the flexibility in the game changer is incredible Cheers ! -

Awesome bass - great variety of tones, super powerful actives, recently set up, lovely low action. I really love the way this bass looks, the bound body is superb and drew my eye originally. Played it a few times but it's generally left in it's case - which no bass should ever do! I've spotted that there are a couple of marks on the font - really difficult to photo so I've highlighted them, there might be more but that is all I can find so any others should be smaller. Comes with original case and original Ernie ball strap locks (and I'll chuck the nice wide padded strap in too!) More photos on request. Price is + UK postage (we can decide on how it is shipped etc etc)

I've got a 77 B00 stingray - I bought it as I always wanted a pre EB ray, it's lovely, I'm not going to sell it but it really is a one trick pony, it has one basic sound - if that is what you want then it's the right bass for the job... If I was buying with my head and not my heart then I'd go pretty much as far away from that with an HH stingray just to give it a bit more flexibility - which is why I have a Musicman reflex as well I guess..

The Black Washburn Status - who has had it / what's the history ??
=^..^= replied to =^..^='s topic in Bass Guitars
While waiting for the S3000 actives to arrive I've dropped a Glockenklang in with a stacked bass/treble control. -

=^..^= replied to =^..^='s topic in Bass Guitars
When I got the bass (last week) the actives had been removed and a simple op amp circuit put in it's place . It was a volume pot per pickup and a simple capacitor wired as a tone control. If you turned the pickup volume to max and dug in the op amp clipped regardless of the trim pot setting on the board. A very nice chap on the Facebook Statii page is sending me the actives from an S3000 -

It might end up trans-green again - I was considering going black centre block but with a tobacco burst. -
The Black Washburn Status - who has had it / what's the history ??
=^..^= replied to =^..^='s topic in Bass Guitars
It's had a refinish for sure ! Just popped the controls out, the pots have scraped through the black and I can see that it used to be green. -
So - last week I got the the black Washburn Status that Bass Direct were selling - plays nicely, looks ok, sounds terrible. The actives have been replaced at some stage with a preamp that clips at max volume so they are up for replacing, paint job is ok tbh but satin black shows every mark / imperfection / finger mark so it might be in line for a refinish I guess there is a lot of history on this - so who has had it and what did you do to it ?? Thanks
