Christmas has certainly come early to chez Trav in the last couple of weeks or so. Just awaiting confirmation that it’s sold to me… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Lovely looking bass Andy, love my stingray. I’m seriously thinking of picking up a Caprice to go with my cutlass, I still can’t put that bass down it’s phenomenal. I’m really into the musicman playability and tones.

Think @sshorepunk is still selling his caprice. i would’ve jumped, but I’ve got more P/J’s than brain cells, currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s staying! would really like to find a diamond blue and do a neck swap, that will create a sunburst with maple and blue with rosewood, neither were available from MM i prefer solid colours to SB! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) My pot is on a knife edge every time I see something I like but I’m really trying hard to save it for the Wal 😄 I do have a new crazy idea of acquiring a fretless caprice and getting rid of the Tony Franklin sig I’ve just mailed Musicman to see if they can provide a neck, I must say I haven’t seen one in the wild anywhere.

SteveXFR Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I've got a pair of Sterling Ray's, a Ray34 and a Ray35. I've found that they sound quite a bit different. The 35 has a much bigger, more rounded tone while the 34 sounds a bit weak by comparison (eq flat on both). Would this be down to the more chunky 5 string neck or would it be down to differences in the pickups? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Lovely looking bass though Andy, what does the puppy weigh then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 4 minutes ago, Bunion said: Lovely looking bass though Andy, what does the puppy weigh then? It’s about 10.4lbs. Id suspect half of that is the bridge and control plate/pickups and knobs. it doesn’t feel boat anchor esque though - feels vibrant and solid. The necks on the classics are insanely pretty. Wal looks well, I await the NBD thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedVee Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I went boring some 7 years ago and opted for un interesting standard Sunburst for my Classic. But I love it! Edited December 21, 2021 by RedVee 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
