When I got this I had done a setup with new strings (40-100 Sadowsky blue label). There were a few high frets, but those could be hammered back into the fretboard. Plays well with a low action now. Do you know this bass? Quote

Hellzero Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Then it's not the one I know as it didn't go to Austria. Quote
Bagman Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I've now got GHS Precision Flats on my fretless 2EQ Stingray Had previously only used Chromes on it G string is a bit much but I think it will settle - I used GHS previously on a fretless Jazz and really liked them Quote
Bagman Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Bought this in December but today is the first day of proper playing numerous things needs fixing , for me it was unplayable strung with the Labella 760FS the electronics are not the greatest its certainly a heavy instrument The new nut the luthier made is considerably better , now the G string is actually on the fingerboard Holds it’s tuning well , intonation very good , with some bass boost EQ and a high ish action it’s very nice to play walking lines on Bass - Hard Case - Freight - Strings - Luthier … all up approximately £725 1 Quote
Bagman Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I did 45 minutes practice with this instrument standing up ( I nearly always practice whilst sitting down and often do the same at gigs) and while this is a heavy instrument the balance was very good and no neck dive. I'm running it into a Diamond / SGFX Bass Comp/EQ with the mid switch at 900 not 500 which is what I use for all my other basses. It sounds better, I don't have an explanation why Plectrum use is ok , I'll need to practice more , probably prefer a heavier gauge than what I normally use The Pick Up / Electronics are not "hot" like my 2EQ Stingray 4. I'd look under the hood but I have no idea what I'm looking for in any knowledgeable way The treble boost pot doesn't add hiss - hurrah - not that I ever use the treble pot much The pick guard is a replacement - the original is a shocker - like a metal foot wiper Is this a good Bass? I thinks so. It's certainly 25-33% cost on the only 2EQ Stingray 5 USA I could find. Once I got slightly more familiar with it's quirks and string spacing I'd happily gig this anywhere, any genre Quote
