Here's "real bass" spacing! :bassist: (2-3/16" at the nut, 3/4" or 19mm at the bridge)

I don't know if I've ever seen a Ray with block inlays. Very nice!


That is an SX Stingray ... The original neck was badly S curved so I replaced the 21 fret neck with a 20 fret block inlay neck, I then had to move the bridge back 1/2". I also had to replace the preamp because it was buzzing badly. So I put in a Seymour Duncan Stingray preamp in and now it totally cops the Musicman tone ...

Last week, thanks to a price too low to refuse, I bought my first 6 string bass from a guy I met in a local car park. Yay!

The string spacing is 10.5mm, which to be honest I'm finding pretty tough to slap on.

I know that this is my first foray into ERB territory, but with the strings tuned down to a low B - C, I'm finding them almost ridiculously flabby and there's not much 'bottom end' to speak of either...... :(

However, it is by far the most compact and lightest bass I have ever owned! :)

Please excuse the strange angle of the photo, but I have an inner ear infection and live on a boat.

Need to know everything about it.
What is it, is it still being produced, is there a P or P/J one of those?


That is a frankensteined bass that I built ... there is a guy in Utah who used to sell guitar and bass bodies on ebay as A&D guitar co ... That bass has a 4 band Audere preamp and Seymour Duncan Pickups, a schaller bridge. It is a good fretless bass

here it is fretted Quilted 5 string Jaguar Bass
