    SBMM Stingray Short scale

    Hollywood GC has a daphne blue short scale 'Ray on sale for $449. I played it and it was quite nice! Not really to settle on a new short scale but this is certainly a compelling option.

    Sire Bass Club!

    Anyone with feedback on the U5? Or is there a U5 megathread? Mostly curious how the pickup balance is and how it hangs on a strap.

    SOLD Stingray Special 4HH Ivory White

    Selling this lightly used Stingray Special as I only really enjoy playing short scale basses. This bass is incredibly versatile with two humbucking pickups, five way switching, and 18V 3-band active EQ. Roasted maple neck is super stable and fast. New hardware and body sculpting make the...

    Franken P Blues..Oh Man!?

    I agree with above post, get a new (Fender, Squier, or licensed) body and bridge to go with the neck and other great parts you already have. You won't get lower action with that bridge, and it doesn't appear to have standard mounting to make a straightforward swap for a regular bridge. I found...

    Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

    I looked for a while unsuccessfully, and gave up when I found something else. There's currently a Fiesta Red loaded body on Reverb, though.

    Many of these models have resurfaced at CME after disappearing from Fender's site and elsewhere, including Traditional and Hybrid 50s and 60s P and J, and fretless J. No sign of the 70s J. Search | Chicago Music Exchange Link Removed Link Removed

    Which pickguard with CAR P Bass?

    +1 for black + maple or mint + rosewood combos.

    Squier Classic Vibe Club (Part 3)

    Anyone looking to sell a Fiesta Red 60's Precision? I just missed the last couple on the forum, and am really hoping to find this specific combo.

    Lakland Owners Group #69

    Anyone have a lead on a pre-owned Skyline 44-60 / JO? Looking to join the club! I've wanted a Lakland for a long time and will finally be ready when my Stingray Special sells. There are a couple of nice ones on Reverb, the trans white and especially Sherwood green stack knob, but curious if...

    I am surprised at how little I am reading about this bass

    Bass looks great, especially the shell pink. I don't care for matching headstocks with maple fretboards or satin finished bodies, so it was never really an option for me. Which is too bad, because a Jazz and Stingray are my two favorite basses, and having them in one package would be awesome.

    EBMM StingRay Special Club

    No, Stealth Black was the old Stingray (standard model, not Special) with the matte black paint, painted neck, and black pole pieces. I definitely wouldn't swap out the hardware no matter what I do.

    EBMM StingRay Special Club

    I posted this one when I ordered it, pretty standard. I was thinking white or even white pearloid would look nice. Link Removed
