    Sterling Ray4 tuners

    I bought a set of no name tuners on ebay.. they looked like the perfect size all the dimensions matched up...HOWEVER the seller forgot to mention that each tuner without the bushing or screws weighted 127 grams each... Are you kidding me.😡

    Sterling Ray4 tuners

    Hey Everybody, I'm changing the hardware to black. Does anyone know if these tuners (see photo) from "Allparts" will fit.? I was told the size tuner on a Ray4 is 1/2", only info on allparts is they weigh 1.8oz/51g each. No dimensions or diagrams. Model# TK-7567 Thanks, Lana

    Thank you, most people I show that photo to say.."nice pickguard" very few notice the neck. It was inspired by a rusty/patina 50 Chevy pickup truck

    Dead preamp...thank you

    No I'm not doing tort, A friend has a business he can make custom pickguards he did this one on my P/J bass... She's my 50's Rockabilly Inspired bass... I haven't figured out a theme yet... When I'm done she'll be one of a kind just like Tiki, that's the P/J... I'm weird I name my basses and cars.

    Dead/broken preamp..Ray4

    Update: I just got back from Guitar Center... Best they can do is offer me a refund can't fix it because I didn't purchase the warranty "protect your gear" package... Really a warranty is for issues in the future not to protect me against you selling me a bass with a broken preamp... If you...

    Dead preamp

    I've heard that they do that just resell it, how can you do that it doesn't work.. probably get another sucker like me to buy it on line.. I already know my options are gonna be keep it as is or return it and buy the mint green ray4. I like the Ray24 I saw a white one with a maple...

    Dead preamp

    I stopped at GC yesterday just to confirm cuz it didn't sound right (my first mm bass) I told the sales rep I didn't want to return it cuz I loved the vintage burst color and for a used bass it was perfect not a mark on her. He didn't offer a solution just...the preamp doesn't work have a nice...
