MUSICMAN PORN THREAD

My two band EQ Musicman basses - Neptune blue really pops in bright light. The Classic Sabre has a mahogany body.

I have this at home to review for a Dutch bass magazine. Has some flaws in the details (finish etc) but otherwise a pretty decent bass...

Here are my current two

Since the upgrade I notice my attached pics got lost

 

Time to rectify that and show off my USA Sterling 4HH with matching headstock

There’s a lot going on in that picture - the carpet is nuts!

[SurroundedByManatees]

My 2 for now:)

A 79 sabre and a classic model stingray.

The sabre is strung with Fender flats which makes the character really come out, especially with 2 pickups engaged.

The brand new classic just arrived yesterday.

Ive had it set up to my likings (nut needed to be leveled down) and it really plays great. Though I didnt have the chance to plug it in yet. My practice rig is now stored (after a small gig last weekend) at our bands rehearsel space, and I wont be able to play this beauty plugged before next monday😥

Nice basses!.........Why did you remove the mutes from the Classic?

Thank you:)

They are there. The picture appears to be a bit dark, my apologies. I tried to put them in an angle so that the classics neck wouldnt reflect to much😁

Yes they are, I have just taken another look with the image enlarged. Is that a flame neck, it looks different to my birdseye Classic neck but looks really good.

[SurroundedByManatees]

Yes, flamed maple. Bidseye can look really great too.

My pair of Sterlings.  I’m toying with the idea of switching the necks around.

Not only am I a sucker for black and maple, I also love rosewood and natural 😍

Do it 🙂

I did that in 2010 with 2 Sterlings  I was deciding between - ended up with massive tone differences from how they originally were. The ash body and rosewood neck was an absolute Powerhouse, though that may just have been a 'special tree' combination thing rather than 'tone woods' thing...

[Deedee]

Before and after.  Both still sound and play great but just look a whole lot better (to my mind anyway) 😁

[SurroundedByManatees]

Especially the natural with rosewood neck has a improved look to my taste

It is a pretty special look 😁

[Deedee]

I think it’s all about that contrast between the body and neck 

 

[RedVee]

I think maple on both looks the best, especially on the Natural.

Symmetry of sorts with a newly acquired 4HH Honeyburst ‘ray

IIRC When we did a Maple-v-RW fretboard challenge at the Herts Bash RW came out on top nearly every time.
