JamesXP Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Hey guys, picked this up locally tonight! Needs a bit of a setup and possibly a fret level but it sounds tasty! Heres a little picture [attachment=184355:10982503_10206565697007995_2053208479800002650_n.jpg] Quote
badboy1984 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Thats the one you bought on facebook right? Quote
JamesXP Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 It is indeed And yeah it's an active 2 band model Literally bought it within a minute of it being on sale! Quote
badboy1984 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Good price for the MM sub too. Don't see a good condition one these days. Quote
bassmachine2112 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Good choice sir. Seriously underated and I like the industrial"take me out gigging" finish. Had mine from new in 2003 and still not scratched it,worn through the finish on the neck in places but that,s it Quote
badboy1984 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Sometimes abit of scratch, dent or worn makes me want to play that bass more lol. If is prestine condition it will just sit at home doing nothing lol. Quote
JamesXP Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 It's mostly perfect! A few tiny marks on the headstock nothing horrible though Gonna try and take some nicer photos tonight if I can find my camera Quote
drTStingray Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Enjoy - These are great - and sound particularly good. Interestingly they've been used in one or two famous settings - not least james brown's band in the later 2000s - one of the two bassists used one. Prices for them seem to be rising if the list price is anything to go by! Edited February 20, 2015 by drTStingray Quote

The fasting showman Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Happy it worked out how it did James, I've got a few gigs now where I need my Sub! Sound great don't they? Toying with the idea of a Status neck for mine, Cutlass 1 on a budget. Martin Quote
JamesXP Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 They are pretty damn amazing.. I'm just glad I didn't have to do the epic train hike to yours! another video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUNuFg_LxOo&feature=youtu.be I need to brush up on my 2 finger technique methinks! Quote
mcnach Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I've got a couple of SUBs, they're fantastic. One has the pickup wired in series (stock, a 2003 one) and the other in parallel (late 2005 or early 2006). The series one is just monstrous (in a good way). I wouldn't have bought a Stingray had I tried these first! Quote
JamesXP Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 I considered changing the wiring around / adding a switch.. is it difficult? From what I can tell this from around 05... in excellent condition too hardly a mark! Quote

[/quote] The pickups are simple 2-wire... so for you to be able to alter the wiring you'll need to do some careful soldering at the eyelets. Not "difficult" but can be fiddly if you're not familiar with that sort of thing. Doable, 'though. Quote
