    Custom paint... Help me decide

    And here it is... obviously I went with the burst. Mike Lavalle at Killer Paint nailed it.

    Custom paint... Help me decide

    Thank you for all the responses. The painter is very good ( Link Removed ) But my request of him will be - paint the burst, but before adding the logo and the clear - make sure it's a perfect match. If not, paint over it with black. Boom. Happy either way. Kinda hoping the burst works out though!

    sowilson - I love that look, but I really love the unfinished neck on the Stingray more

    Custom paint... Help me decide

    I recently purchased a bass -- an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray with a Tobacco Sunburst finish. This bass has a natural headstock. I do not like this. As a matter of fact I have strong dislike for natural headstocks. This is my personal preference. I'm planning on having the headstock...

    Mesa Boogie PH Cab... Unusual usage

    I have the line on a really good deal for a PH 210 bass cab, I will use it as part of my bass rig on most occasions... But wondering if I could be used as an extension GUITAR cab (in addition to 410 slant) without damaging it or sounding too bad? I know this is not "normal" but is it...

    Need an Ibanez aficionado... Have an SR question

    Swin, Thanks so much for the model history. Very helpful, and appreciated. One more question if you don't mind... The easy open battery box... New for the 2010/11? Or a bit before?

    Need an Ibanez aficionado... Have an SR question

    Just bought an SR405. I dig it. When I bought it I played an SR505... I've been GAS-ing for it since. I'm going to have to get one, but I have questions first though. When you google the SR505, it seems that there are many incarnations of this bass. Must be a model evolution. Kind of...

    Which budget MusicMan?

    IMO The SUBs are great, but prices are getting a bit inflated. Nice bass to be sure, but they are currently going from about $300-$500+. I bought one from GC for $185 on close out a few years back... I'd have a hard time buying one at the current prices. The new "Sterling by MusicMan" is not...

    Taking your pedal board suggestions!

    Here's the short of it.... I'm in a hard rock/metal band, we've recently lost our lead guitarist and are moving on as a four piece. The remaining guitarist has requested that I might need to play more (more notes, more runs, fills, etc.), and "add to my sound." My current rig: EBMM...

    Musicman, ESP/LTD, upgrades, electronics, etc...

    I need help! Here's the thing... I've got a nice EBMM Musicman, I play it a lot and I love it (I'll get to that later). I also have an ESP LTD F404FM, which I really like to LOOKS of.... I'd like to play it occasionally but... ...it makes a lot of noise, especially when I use...

    Bass brainiacs - I need help! I'm losing my mind!

    Hmmm... lots of opinions.... maybe I should just sell it for the 750 I paid (should go for that). Does the for sale section here work well?
