I saw these strings at the music store yesterday and thought for $80 a set Ernie Ball must be stepping up its game to compete with TI. I've been using TI strings on my 74 P-bass and love them. Perfect tension and tone for me. After reading the reviews here I think I'll hold off and get another...

It’s a natural wood, maple fretboard, and white pick guard. I already installed a Tort pick guard though. This thing was only played a few times and stored away by original owner. Looks brand new, as well as the case. Pots are dated 73 and pickups 74.

Finally broke down and bought an all original 1975 P-Bass. Got that sound I was looking for in the Ultra.

I had a firemist silver Ray34 that was absolutely perfect. It had the chrome hardware though and no truss issues. The reason I got rid of it was the maple fretboard was way too dark being roasted that the black fret markers and side indicators were too hard to see. They should have used white...

I want my P bass to sound like that. I have an American Ultra Precision and it doesn’t sound like a P bass to me. I even replaced the P pickup with a 1/4lb pickup which helped a bit but still not what I was looking for.

Sweet, sounds good bro.

Man you were getting down. Great playing. We’re you using the MP-40?

Also to mention on the purple one I got the truss rod was maxed out too. It had that freewheel action going on then hit a wall and was locked up. I didn’t get far enough into it to deal with the tuner gears as soon as the clover broke loose while taking the plastic off and checking the truss...

I recently purchased a purple sparkle Sterling 5 H stingray bass with the black tuners. Loved the color and paid over a grand for it. Sounded good in the store and couldn’t wait to get it home. The next day I got the chance to play it and tried to fine tune it. Immediately I noticed something...

Thanks guys! Since I already had the four Neutrik SpeakOn connectors, I stopped by Home Depot and bought two 25' extension cords with 14ga wires which were on sale. After clipping the 3rd ground wires I installed the connectors using a little blue Loctite to keep them snug. Both cables work...

Damn, that’s some expensive wire.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Looking to make a few speaker cables with SpeakOn connectors for my cabinets. Anyone have a solid recommendation for 12ga speaker wiring? I see a bunch on Amazon however only a few have an outer sleeve.

I supposed that’s it for the Amazon units. Searching for MP40 returns no results. Glad I got mine while they were available.

That’s pretty cool, never knew this existed.
