Guitar-restaurant Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 it's just a lacquer crack. Bass sounds very good. I have compared to couple of other mm's:) Quote

Me And My Bass Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 1988 3 band EQ Red Ray! [attachment=108235:8.png] [attachment=108236:14.png] [attachment=108237:18.png] Quote
far0n Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Well, here's my modified Sub4. John East 3 band parametric preamp, Nordstrand pickup and a lovely jubilee scratchplate ! Quote
Higgie Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1334958557' post='1624194'] Similarly to Higgie's case, this is the one that started it all for me (Stingray-wise): not merely the brother, but the TWIN of Higgie's bass!!! Same year, same colour, same birdseye, same clear pickguard..... [/quote] Wow! Cool that we both have the same bass virtually. What's the Serial No. on yours? Just wondering how close together they were built! I've also got a matching Fretless but with 3 band EQ and unlined Pau Ferro board - The serial numbers are literally only 300 odd apart!

Me And My Bass Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 New ebay bargain buy! 1991 (tbc) SR4. Clear pickguard & high figured neck. [attachment=108523:DSCF1134.JPG] [attachment=108524:DSCF1133.JPG] [attachment=108525:DSCF1135.JPG] Sounds really nice, going to get it off to Mark (7string) for a clean, re-string and setup. Quote

TheGreek Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1336659872' post='1649082'] Here's my 2001 'Ray - nicer looking than my 1994 (now with Sshorepunk) but somehow lacks something that the old girl had..this has a plain Maple neck as opposed to Bird's Eye on the '94, later 'Rays don't have the string dampeners and this lacks the Detuner, which I didn't use anyway..eevn so I find myself reminiscing for the '94..

[/quote] Both are correct... but I'd swap the necks. IMO, there's more to gain from the neck H on a fretted model... but that's me [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1337798379' post='1665691'] They are both cool apart from the colour. [/quote] Classic burst is always cool. By definition, [quote name='thunderbass1' timestamp='1337806779' post='1665884'] Couldn't find an orange pair... : ) [/quote] An orange pair would be killer, indeed! Quote

Bass-Thing Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 [quote name='budget bassist' timestamp='1218483088' post='260320'] I think the humble musicman bass deserves it's own porn thread, they're not the most expensive, but they're definitely some of the best basses you can get short of getting a custom shop! To get the ball rolling, here's my not so expensive, but still lush sounding and playing SUB bass: Let's see what other beauties you guys have got, i know there are plenty out there! [size=1]EDIT: sorry for the huge photos if any of you have particularly slow internet like mine is being at the moment![/size] [/quote] That is beautiful. Mine is exactly the same except I've stuck a mirror pickguard on it. Can I just ask you how you are posting your photos? I can only stick tiny little thumbnails on. Quote

Gust0o Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1340565512' post='1706354'] My new SR5. It's a 2007 Custom order that never got picked up by the customer! The bass is virtually new and the best 5 string bass I've played. It's a wonderful bass to play and weighs an unbelievable 9lbs, so very comfortable too. For the first time ever, I have as many Stingrays as I do Fenders. [/quote] Not for [i]that[/i] long, chief - is this not the one that's now for sale? Quote

The original transluscent blue finish had been removed by a previous owner and replaced with an awful satin black finish. Refinished by yours truly and a 2009 SR5 Quote
