Hey All, I appreciate any help with this. I have a Sterling Short Scale Stingray that I love. I just picked up a Hammer Slammer SB-4 to be a companion. It plays great and is a fun little bass, but it's a little muddy and has low output. Does anyone know of a replacement pickup that would...

I mainly use round nickels. I just found my normal gauge strings are a little floppy. I found a string tension calculator and found a few sets that will keep the tension similar to what the basses were originally set up for, or at least very close. Interestingly, I found that the Sterling SS...

I play short scales and usually we play a half step down. I'm now playing for a band where everything is pretty much drop D, so after a half step down its C#. I'm trying to figure out which string gauge will be best to do this, balanced ideally. I don't want to do anything crazy that could...

On hold pending payment.

It weighs 8.0 lbs even on my bathroom scale.

This is a bad ass short scale. I just sold one of these and decided to sell the other. I was originally going to have it custom painted, but decided not to. Made in Europe, really well balanced. Has a Hipshot Xtender, but I also have the original tuner too. I've included a pic that shows it...

I'm attaching the caliper measurements in the pics. Seems pretty standard.

I actually use regular short scale lights. The ease of playing made up for any tension changes, and my band actually tunes a half step down. I really like the growl out of these basses, but I'm a total Spector guy anyway. Part of the reason I switched to short scales are because I was...

It's 8 pounds even on a bathroom scale. The nut width is 1.622" by calipers.

PRICE DROP TO $1000 This is a bad ass short scale. I'm only selling because I have 4 of these and two are duplicates. Made in Europe, really well balanced. Has a Hipshot Xtender, but I also have the original tuner too. In full disclosure, there is a small scuff near the lower horn by the...

Yeah, they are the stock pickups

Its Vol Master and pickup pan, the switch as active/ passive and the rest are EQ

I'm in Rockville, or at least right next to it. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about details.

Figured out that the switch is an active / passive switch. For those asking.
