    Just when you thought you'd seen it all...relic stickers!

    That actually looks better than most DIY relic jobs I've seen.

    What to do with this hole...

    This what I used to cover the holes after I pulled the preamp out of my Yamaha and went passive. (before and after)

    Favorite use of Mellotron (bonus points if it's *not* a prog-rock tune!)

    Butchered bass from facebook

    This makes me think of that old Mad magazine Star Trek transporter bit (showing my age now.) :D

    Signature Basses / Instruments...yes or no

    I always thought the Schecter Michael Anthony bass looked pretty cool. Never played one though.

    What is the best modification that you've ever made to a bass?

    Pulled the preamp out of my Yamaha BB615 because I didn't like it. Converted it to passive with a volume+tone+pickup switch. Much better now. Before and after pics. Plugged the extra pot holes with some car trim push pin things. Fit perfectly.

    New to StingRay basses

    If you like the way it's strung now, just loosen the old string and stretch it out. See how far it goes. :)

    Drop-D Tuning

    My fix for this was to use a set of balanced tension strings with a slightly heavier E string. Currently using D'Addario EXL170BT.

    Who Says SBMM Has Poor Quality Control?!

    That's so weird that it's actually kind of cool.

    defeat neck dive with a hootenanny strap?

    This has been my solution. Move the strap button. I think manufacturers like to put the button at the center because aesthetically that's where it looks like it belongs, but that's not always the best for balance. I solved the neck dive on my Thunderbird by relocating both strap buttons.

    Over the past few years....

    At least the D'addario ones add some color to the mix. :)
