    I think my issue with the “banshee” is two fold. It’s a stupid name for a bass which obviously needs flats on it - and a foam mute; the “sleeping sheepie” would’ve been more apt. And that bloody headstock is nearly as big as the body and will cause much neck dive. A more slender version of the J headstock would work.

    Jesus, you’ve snapped the key in the door and broken the window to make it better.

    Here - 3 bass headstock alternatives currently in production by the same company they could’ve picked. and an example of how one of those designs works fine on one of their own quirky pseudo-retro designs...

    I didn’t think it could get worse

    I was so excited when I saw the first promo shot - that colour and quirky little body - I was willing to forgo the “I will never play short scales” rule I have... But sh*t me, that headstock. Not even a mother could love it.
  6. AndyTravis
    rough plan...
  7. AndyTravis
    Stop looking. Remember what big Rog said
  8. AndyTravis
    Well. Best get me drills out. looks like an Aggie/East mashup jazz bass stingray is coming
  9. AndyTravis
    Just as I mull costs over - has anyone tried the retro vibe stinger 77 preamp?
  10. AndyTravis
    Don’t you worry about me sunshine. I’m doin alright...21 fret bass is the donor. 21 fret stingray pickguard kindly on loan from @Normski on its way. Then @bagsieblue has stingray guts strewn all across his house.
  11. AndyTravis
    Well I’ve got some offers of bits coming in - @drTStingray I appreciate the idea of 2pu, but really this is just so I have an MM sound in my rack without having to buy another ray. And I fancy messing with a bass - not done it for a bit.
  12. AndyTravis
    I’m going to use a MM pickguard, get the definitive spot. Hoping @Normski has a spare he can lend me for measurements.
  13. AndyTravis
    Right - I’m in on this. I’ve owned 6 stingrays, love the sound but always seem to want more for my money. Recently had a Modulus Flea, and it was lush - but not Stingray-ish enough. Anyhow, I have my donor body and neck. Now I’m hoping someone somewhere has the guts of a USA stingray going spare.
  14. AndyTravis
    haha. Er.

    How come mate, you could’ve flogged it for a few quid.

    @GrumpyBassist you’re in luck https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264695618219

    I wouldn’t for £2k, but will watch part 5 for completion
  18. AndyTravis
    Kay Precision copy. gift from my cousin’s fella who’d painted “Fender” on the headstock... this was 1997
  19. AndyTravis
    We’ll see...I’ve effectively got £5000 worth of his gear. Maybe he will soon...

    Another sale to Martin - done with distance of the garden path... Lovely lovely man, as ever.

    My new mate Rog (he likes it when I call him that)... Just casually exchanging e-mails, discussing favourite ice cream flavours etc. He’s coming for a brew when all this lockdown business is over...
  22. AndyTravis
    Will see - my two are the last batch, so hopefully any leftover stock would be more recent.
  23. AndyTravis
    Didn’t see that bit, bloody hell.
  24. AndyTravis
    Sexto. Ha. Sex toe.
  25. AndyTravis
    B/E/A/D/F#/B your tuning is a Bajo Sexto tuning...
