    The original plan was to buy a conklin 7 from the factory, all white, neck and all, gold hardware. I think it would have been a really nice looking bass.

    Music Man Stingray w/ weak G string

    regular stingray VS classic Stingray

    I have an 89 MM stingray and a 90 5 string MM stingray and they absolutely rock, I have played the newer MM's and was not impressed, the HH version was weak in tone had no punch. I guess I'm jaded by the earth moving tone of the older MM's mine have the 3 band eq and it will play all kinds of...
