I had a similar problem at first, did you try raising the pick up at all? I did and my Ray stopped sounding washed out in the mix, felt more pronounciated

Here's mine.. A 1998 one with a (probably,I'm not sure) 1982 neck installed on it in.. Sorry for the crappy pictures..
Spitfire,
Yes. When I first got it, the front pup was almost inaudible. I raised it to be the same distance from the strings as the humbucker. Now it is just weak and washed out sounding.

This is an odd one. There are only three face dots after the 12th fret (a pre-EB feature), but the string tree is between the A and D strings (an EB feature). There should be a date stamp on the neck heel, if you want to find out!
No, the original nut was broken on the G string slot and with replaced in 2015 with a custom brass nut.
Long story short: The original 1998 neck was broken after a bad outdoor gig ended with a rainstorm that tore down the entire stage in 2004..
I've found through my local luthier the pre-Ernie one without string tree hole drilled and without the holes drilled in the neck to match the body.. So I decided to place the string tree in the "modern" position, and also, the neck is obviously connected to the body with 6 screws instead of 3 or four.
This is my 2008 Stingray HS. Super low action & plays like a dream (sorry for crappy pictures
)
Hello all! I just picked up a beautiful Musicman StingRay 4 HS NT.
Sounds and plays great, but had a couple questions I am hoping some one familiar with the HS configuration can help me with.
When I go from the first position to the second position on the 5 way switch, I get a drop in volume. This also happens in a few of the other positions. Is this normal with this configuration? Also, I am getting some single pick up hum in certain positions as well. Just wondering if this stuff is normal or the nature of the beast. Thanks for your help!

Sign me up! I made an ngd thread for this, but I'll post some pictures here as well. Sounds great, the low B is very tight and expressive.
