BassApprentice Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Something to while away 15 minutes or so on a Monday - https://www.music-man.com/custom-design-experience Ignore the silly prices and make a few Stingray specs. Nothing ground breaking on the tool but fun nonetheless, the coloured pole pieces are a nice touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Blasphemy on this forum, I know, but I can't wait until they add guitars to the configurator! I won't be ordering as the pricing is out of my league, but I've always had a thing for their guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdee Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I've had a bit of a go in the last few days and my spec comes out roughly the same as a standard Stingray Special once it's shipped to the UK with duty and VAT ect. Not that bad. I really fancy one. I'm still not that mad about most of the colours though. They seem to given folk a wider choice of hideous to choose from.

Be nice if they offered a choice of Alnico, Ceramic and Neodymium pickups. Similarly, there's no facility to have black knobs on a silver plate and vice versa, etc. Edited April 8 by Lfalex v1.1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Here's mine, I think black pole pieces on a white pickup would look pretty cool and subtle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'd go natural, rosewood board, chrome hardware, black plate - just like 'Nards one. And the SLO neck profile. $2999 which is about £2377 today + shipping + vat = about £2971. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I like these games. Didn’t have the finish I wanted (walnut or roasted ash body) but this is nice; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I do like me some obnoxious colours, so this and the Galactic Pearlburst would be a challenging decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowB_FTW Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 208-A20-Z18-BG1-MB-BB-ST5-RS5 ^^ That's my build code ^^ I couldn't grab an image of it so the code above should help, but there's no reverse headstocks so it's a moot point for me (he says, like I could afford one anyway 😂), and at $3349, I'd absolutely want what I want, and what I want is a reversed headstock, and three pickups.

Nothing ground breaking on the tool but fun nonetheless, the coloured pole pieces are a nice touch. They used to have this back in the early 2000s when they had a vastly bigger range of basses, finishes and options. Was gutted they removed it as you could construct a nice big jpeg from it. Ooh, cool, they’ve brought back the SLO Special nut width! Edited April 9 by Quatschmacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderpaws Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 What I do t get is, how Musicman with most probably a bigger budget can’t do their customisation version as well as this from Halo (who I’ve never heard of before😂) https://www.haloguitars.com/store/custom-bass.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's a cool toy, never seen a 3D configurator before. Very nicely done. But I'm a Bongo guy - once they start offering those through the configurator, I'm in. My bank account will hate me though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar build from Maruszczyk is a fair bit less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
