    I used Krylon Spray lacquer ( 18 days ago ) its not curing ...

    That sounds like my situation. It is not a thick coat, not smelly anymore, but it still dents and is slushy. I think waiting (unfortunately) will be the way to go. Thanks for convincing me.

    I used Krylon Spray lacquer ( 18 days ago ) its not curing ...

    Thanks! I used two cans of krylon. I read , after posting here, a blog about lacquer. One guy said when you can't smell it , it's hard enough. He said use a fan ,because the lacquer fumes keep the lacquer soft. I think waiting about an hour between coats was suggested. I'm a painter, even so...

    I used Krylon Spray lacquer ( 18 days ago ) its not curing ...

    I am actually a good painter and refinisher for houses and am knowledgeable about painting and products but have used Krylon on this bass. It has 3 old colors of krylon paint, only the last one did I clear coat , using a non lacquer krylon. That was always a bit sticky. I did some...

    Pre-Ernie Ball? how do you know?

    Best way to tell, if you are looking from afar ,is that the pre-Ernie Ball has one less dot near the pickups.

    Musicman Cutlass 1 - what kind of pickups/electronics , lol

    I have a 1983 model year. Are the electronics etc. the same as a Sting Ray? I think Jackson made the bass using a Mudulous Graphite neck. I was once convinced ( of coarse the Cutlass had its own electronics) by a person on the Internet. I can't find the thread. Of coarse it does not matter what...

    Ceramic Pickup Sting Ray 5 - did you know ?

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Registered UserSenior Member Join Date Feb 2007 Location Florence, KY Posts 2,559 Welcome. The first thing to think about is that the Stingray and the Stingray5 are different, so when asking a question like this it is important to be specific. I'm assuming...

    Ceramic Pickup Sting Ray 5 - did you know ?

    Thanks, Geri . I get too darn mad about my music man basses. Ernie Ball only offered to sell me a replacement neck for my 1979. As you know ,lol, if musicman does something I don't like ( intentionally damaging instruments) it's my problem. It's ok , I'll keep playing ,and I'm sorry for the...

    Ceramic Pickup Sting Ray 5 - did you know ?

    Looks like I'm still getting beat down here. My point is : A StingRay 5 with ceramic pickups ain't a Sting Ray. A Sting Ray with a Sterling neck is a Slo special. I think this bass (1992-2008 Sting Ray 5) basically needs its own name. Seriously. How many dudes who want or wanted a 5 string...

    Ceramic Pickup Sting Ray 5 - did you know ?

    Lol, I received some negative comments from an administrator here. The basics of the message were that I was not welcome here and my experience does not matter. I paid for a bass from a member here and will leave this group once I receive it. Why waste time in situations where you are not...

    Who uses a "large" rig and recently went to a class D ultra light replacement, any regrets?

    I used a GK800RB with a 4x10 Eden for many years. I thought it would be better and have more control with a 2x10 on top. A lateral move there , not much better , often too loud. Then I found a Eden 2x10 in the wedge shape.My GK through just the wedge was awesome. A monitor , so I could hear...
