To follow up, Omar indicated that Long & McQuade in Canada (where I am) would be able to order the part and that it would be supplied and shipped at no charge. However, L&M decided not to help, as I hadn't purchased the bass from them, even though they carry Sterling SBMM basses. Pretty...

I'll call them shortly and report back. Thanks all.

Thanks. I'll call tomorrow. The bass is only two weeks old, and I have the info, so I hope it will be an easy remedy. I appreciate the quick reply.

HI All, I just received my SB4 Sterling by Sterling. Good bass for the money and I love the smaller body, compared to the Stingray. The issue is that the G string tuning peg is buggered. It binds up and the gears skip. Musician's Friend only do full item replacements, which I could do but I'm...

Thanks @wvbass I certainly recognize that my more muted tone is not what most, or many, Spector owners are looking for. But my group is currently doing covers, and it is somewhat .... classic (gawd, gag) with some folk and AOR influences. Plus, we have a violin player, and I can't be driving...

Thanks @Holdsg!

Hi All, A few days ago I received my Spector bass. I current have three P basses, and I need another bass like a I need more credit card debt, but the Spector's are so beautiful, I had to have one just for the artistic beauty of it. This one is really nice. It is a Korean Legend Custom...

Hi, Ancient history I know, but does anyone know if this bass ever sold? Curious and looking for one of these. Thanks.

Interesting. I have EB Cobalt Flats (flatwound) on my Stingray and I love them. Easy on the fingers and frets, and I like the sound very much. Could be that if they are mid-forward that they actually help/ improve the typical Ray sound. Anyhow, I'd love to try them on my other basses, but I have...

Thanks for the excellent answer. I'm still interested.... just need to think and scheme.

Hi. Looks like a beautiful bass. A couple of questions if you don't mind. (Yes, I did some searching first). The double P pick up configuration- that seems unusual. Is there a reason why this config. is desirable, or does it sound different that the soapbar or PJ config? Does this bass have a...

??? The BAII bridge is excellent, the QP pick ups are better than most Fender PU's and the black pick guard is sooo much better than tort. Mint is good for toothpaste, but not for guitars. Besides, most of us have more than one bass, and ideally, they have a different tonal signature. I love the...

Curious about the experience with the NM P. Mine has been the exact opposite. I consider it one of the best basses I've ever played. And by that, I do indeed mean that it is the best for me, for my hands, my music, etc. I'm not a buyer of extravagant basses, so I certainly have not tried a long...

Yep, what they said. I have the Nate Mendel bass, which I bought without knowing who Nate Mendel was. But that bass is the best P for me. In fact, I was temped to buy another on the weekend just in case something happened to the first one. I think it's a better bass than the Am Special or Std...

So many variables for a bass with only two knobs. Dunn likely played with the tone mostly dimmed, and that gave the right sound for his bass, with his amp, and that style of music. To me it varies with the room, and the amp I'm using, and it varies from bass to bass. Pick-ups, wood, age of...
