    Flea's Original MM Stingray

    Knowing Flea and his flamboyant decoration on his basses, I can understand if he would cover the control plate in tape or remove it and replace it with something else. Also, the neck looks pretty Ray-esque to me.. the only thing that is bothering me is the bridge, which looks like the bridge off...

    Flea's Original MM Stingray

    After looking at it more closely I think I agree.. perhaps it's an old Cutlass?

    Flea's Original MM Stingray

    Hey all, I recently picked up Anthony Kiedis' book Scar Tissue, and some of the pictures inside the book show Flea playing this very decorated MM Stingray that I've never seen before. Here are the pictures: I was just curious if anyone has seen this bass before/has any information on it.

    what is the worst bass you have ever played/heard?

    Hartke SB15. Only bass Hartke ever made. The wood was some kind of cheap-plywood style. Finish was awful. Neck was unbelievably wide and had bubbles of finish collecting on it. It was a P/J but the electronic were awful. I don't know how I ever managed to play on that thing.. it was the first...

    What to do with this bass.. (Squier P/J)

    Hey all, I have this old Squier P/J here: And I want to do something with it. Anything. I want to make it as original (tone and style) to a 60s era Precision as possible.. but I need suggestions. Right now I have no game plan. Go!

    Do Stickers Make a Bass Trashy?

    Surprised no one has posted this beaut yet. Flea's Custom Shop 61' Shell Pink Jazz.. the only one in existence. I think the stickers add to it's beauty IMO.

    Single coil in bridge position?

    Hey all, I have an old Squier P/J that's rotting away in my closet. I've decided to try out some new things with it. One of the combinations I've been contemplating is putting an old 51 RI single coil pickup that I have in the bridge position. Has anyone ever heard this done before? I can't...

    Your bass, your sound... why?

    I was typically a jazz player until I picked up a Stingray. Never went back. Just bought a brand new one a few months ago and haven't picked up either of my jazz basses since. The tone is so versatile I can play with practically any genre I'm asked to.

    EBMM Stingray Headstock Decal

    Sorry I couldn't quite understand that...could someone please specify the main differences between the Sterling Ray34's and the EBMM Rays? I've been looking at the SBMMs since they came out, but I haven't had the gut to buy one since I've never heard of the actual differences. Minus the neck...
