    Delano MM vs stock Stingray MM

    Thanks, tindrum! I should have mentioned that I was wondering about compatibility if I only replace one of the stock pickups. Also, I need to find out/figure out how to wire the Delano to the Stingray 5-way switch. I'll be touching base with Sterling about that, but thought someone here might...

    Delano MM vs stock Stingray MM

    I have a Sterling Stingray 4HH. I want to upgrade the neck pup to Delano MC4 FE. Any problems with this idea? Thanks.

    Tone pot - audio or linear taper?

    Just ordered a Tonestyler Bass Ten Short. True bypass to .1 uf. I had forgotten about these. Problem solved! Thanks, Danny C!

    Tone pot - audio or linear taper?

    Tried to find existing threads on this topic, couldn't find any. So here we go... I tried a linear tone pot in my bass, but it acts like an audio taper. Absolutely NOTHING changes until the last 20% or so of the rotation. This is precisely what I was trying to improve by using a linear tone...

    Replacing 16 ohm speakers with 8 ohm???

    Thanks for the reply! Wasnex is right, it's not THAT heavy. I added a 115 to an Eden 210 combo once. It was incredible, a whole new instrument. I may resume my abandoned search for a Contour 115 ext cab. Thanks!

    Replacing 16 ohm speakers with 8 ohm???

    Thanks for being "blunt", Wasnex! I kinda thought there was a problem (or two) with this idea, but I didn't know just what. Thanks for the lesson! I appreciate it.

    Replacing 16 ohm speakers with 8 ohm???

    I have a Genz Benz Contour 500 210 combo amp. Nothing wrong with it, except... it's a bit heavy at 52 pounds. The factory 16 ohm speakers weigh 7 pounds each. I am thinking of replacing them with 8 ohm, 150W Eminence Basslite S2010's at 3.5 pounds each (16 ohm Faital Pros, my first choice...
