paul, the Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I wonder why he took the MM pup out? Perhaps it didn't look right on a MM body. Do you reckon it's still active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistermark Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Why would for the love of God butcher a music man stingray by putting in P-bass pickups in it.....? Because I'm a tweaker and I'm rarely satisfied with *stock*. I always found the sound of the stingray with the orignial pick up to be way too brittle sounding and seemed to really accentuate the fret noise. And even with the on board active 3 band eq, I never felt I could get the midrange I was looking for. My feeling was the pickup placement (being more towards the bridge) didn't help these flaws. I love the feel of the stingray, but love the sound of a P-bass. Call me crazy, but I just had to somehow make the two come together.

I say good one for doing something different with a bass, instead of just adding stock upgrades. A P-pickup on a stingray would give a better positioned thumbrest, certainly for me anyway.

The other thing I found disturbing was that I couldn't quite escape the impression that they'd just finished a parents am-dram production at the local middle school... ...or both? Now that conjures up a creepy story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that the Age of Aquarius had stonking Joe Osborne flatwound bass licks. Edited November 12, 2007 by synaesthesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
