Seems like Spencer is a bit pissed by the Darkglass Anagram update that contained the Doom2 😂

Does someone know if there’s an alternative to the 4001V63C64 Treble Bezel Kit? So looking for bezel for my 4001V63 Horseshoe pickup. It's out of stock and I already reached out to them, but got no answer for a few days.

Finally the Mk3.33 also made it to Germany. For my setup it's actually better working than the Mk3, the mids are somehow different. But I think the competition to the Broughton Subsonic is still up, at least for me.

It's very difficult to capture the finish. I think the satin is authentic, so it's equally above body neck and headstock.

Hey, I'd also like to join the club! I'm not absolutely sure how the proper model name is. I bought it from Japan and it was advertised as 4001 in Satin Fireglo. Serial says it's from 1997. I just read that there have been some limited editions in Japan with this satin finish and they were...

If someone is in need of a MEQ and has a Sunray to offer, then please have a look into the international classifieds 😊

Just a quick update: I ended up buying the bass and it's a really good one! Switched the control plate back to the original one. I want to get (hopefully original) knobs and change the strap buttons and get rid of the black screws of the pickguard and control plate.

That’s a really nice Stingray! I think the concern for the bass I posted was more of that the body looks awesome but the neck has wear which is bit too much for fitting the body.

Just received a picture of the preamp. I‘m not 100% sure but I think it looks original. The pots I‘m not sure. Also got a picture of the back of the neck. It seems like it got played a lot.

If only the knobs and the second string tree are the non-original parts, I‘m in. But I also get the vibe that the body looks a bit too „perfect“. I was also asking about the wear on the back of the neck. I‘m not sure if it‘s just the quality of the photo. Problem is, that I can‘t see the bass...

Thanks for all the input! As written in the initial post, I know that control plate and knobs are not original. The plate is included. I have to ask about the pots and preamp. But I’ll also think that I’m gonna pass if they weren’t original.

Hey guys, I’m currently looking for a Pre-EB Stingray and found one which looks interesting to me. I would be great to have some of your opinions on it. It seems to be a late 78 since the serial number is already located on the bridge (which also has the MusicMan stamp). The things which are...

I ordered a SP1-5 VB a while ago here in Germany at the biggest music shop here (and I also think worldwide), but I just got a response that it will arrive in December (or maybe even later) :( I’m not sure what they did wrong when ordering, but on the other hand I really enjoy all the NBD’s of...

Maybe a bit of an overkill, but it actually sounds great :)

I got myself a birth year bass this year. For my birth year the amount of money to spend is not the issue but rather what bass to get. It was very hard to find something decent and not too crazy 80s. But in the end I found a 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II, which is quite awesome! The heart-shaped...
