Here is a Nordy Music Man 5 String Dual Coil pickup I got for my 2001 Stingray 5. It is super huge sounding in two modes. I had a difficult time trying to find the correct wiring so I could continue to use the 3 way switch on the bass. Since I gig constantly, I didn’t want to spend too much time...
Greetings! This Sandberg VM5 Nighthawk is probably my most versatile bass. The only reason why I'm selling it is to make a purchase on a signature bass I played at NAMM.
What I love about this bass is that it provides a clear and focused sound that can cut through the mix. The reverse p gives...
I bought this bass recently. There's something else I would rather buy now. If it doesn't sell, so be it.
The bass feels like it is almost mint in terms of cosmetics. You can see in the pictures that the nut was cracked. I replaced the nut, but you should probably fix the nut permanently with...
Ernie Ball Musicman Big Al 4 SSS in inca silver sparkle finish with rare all rosewood neck. Excellent condition (I can't find a mark on it) with OHSC also in great condition. I changed out the original strap buttons for Dunlop straplocks, will include the original buttons and screws, case keys...
Hey guys, I have a 2016 EBMM Sterling that doesn't see much love. There's a Pheral_ai locally which has caught my fancy. I am fascinated by Alpher Instruments but I must admit I know very little about the sub brand. Would you say it's a good trade?
This is the exact bass that I'm eyeing.
And...
Hey TB'ers!
This pick guard came to me from a refinished vintage '79 Ray purchase back around 2018. All the hardware and electronics were original to the bass so one could assume the guard was as well but I'm unsure if there's a way to actually verify such a claim.
That said, it's period...

Hey Yall! First time poster long time reader...
I'm looking to purchase a 5 string bass and retro fit it with new electronics and just a general beefing up. I've been researching basses that have this configuration and the one that sparks the most interest is the Sandberg California V and if...
Hey guys,
I just picked up a MM 412B cabinet. I want to find the right head to pair with this, but I'm not super sure about what it can handle. I did find a MM catalog from 1980 that lists the 412B as 8 ohms and 150W RMS (p.23/30). However, Link Removed says the 412B is "power rated at 300...

Hiya! I love my USA Sterling Blue Dawn. Any idea if the Sterling is still being made? The EBMM site is vague and I didn't see any from the videos of NAMM... :( . Please keep a small nut width for tiny handed bassits, EBMM!

Made in March of 2019, this bass is in absolutely mint condition. Other than some superficial fingernail scratches on the pick guard, it looks like it came off a music store wall. It has one of the most beautifully flamed neck and fingerboards that I've seen. I am the original owner. Weight is...

I recently put a Seymour Duncan SMB-4A in my Sterling by Musicman Ray 4 and upon plugging it in found I had to turn my amp all the way up just to hear the bass at low volume. I've tried new batteries and adjusting the pickup height so I wonder if I wired it incorrectly? I put the green, white...
Hello folks, I am looking for a replacement bridge for a Music Man bass. The one with the two thumb screws on the side and the mutes! Is there a cheaper reproduction of it out there? The ones I see are like $500 and up!
Which company makes the most accurate nut for music man stingray basses? Mine just broke and i need a replacement. Or it would be just better to make one from scratch?
I've been eyeing some Music Man's for a while and all of the two humbucker ones are expensive and I don't know if they can go between coils. I want a music man because I like the sound of it but I'm a jazz bass guy and I still want to be able to have that sound.
I am sad to part with this amazing bass, but I have a 6 string MK Elfin build that is just about ready to ship, and I could use the funds to make the final payment. I will consider partial trades for nice lightweight amps or cabs or combos, a Strymon Timeline pedal, or shorter scale Basses plus...

I bought this about a year ago and used it exclusively, it was my first Music Man. It sounds fantastic and I have no complaints about it, but I've fell in love with another of my basses and this one has been shamefully sitting in the closet.

I have a chance to pick one up, and I was just wondering if, with the right preamp and pedal, I can use this bass for heavier music. It looks and plays like a dream, but I play in 2 metal bands, and I was just wondering for those with experience if this bass has been known to cut through the...
I own a 79 music man Sabre Bass that has a luthier made neck. I'm looking for a replacement as it's not an original. I would love to have a maple neck but I am ok with rosewood if I can't find a maple one.
I pulled the trigger and bought the last one in Long & McQuade's warehouse earlier this week and brought it home last night.
Thanks to all the TB folks that answered my questions in my GAS post. It made it easier asking the right questions, looking out for the issues with the bass design and...
