Ha! Joeykun - I see we have similar tastes in basses - At least when it comes to Stingrays and Sadowskys.

I have a Stingray Classic BFR arriving via the big brown truck tomorrow. Guess I'll get to join another club on TB as of tomorrow evening.

I'm curious;
Is there or has there ever been a passive stingray?

Thanks. This one is active/passive tho, rather than just passive. No?

I don't believe they make a straight passive option. But yes, this bass will give you the ability to run in both active and passive modes.

Installed it and it looks fairly interesting. I'm not sure I really prefer one or the other but I think I'll keep it this way since it's such a pain to swap out lol. I didn't realize there were little plastic thingies in between the pots and pickguard so I had to do it twice. Also I don't play out so the shielding is not so important for me. I'd forgotten there was a dummy coil so that surprised me as well. It would be really awesome if MM started selling them as HSS models with a switch or two so you could get some really fancy sounds.

Anyway nobody cares about that, here are the pictures:

Interesting. I thought they stacked the phantom coil. Looks pretty good though!
Congrats on a killer bass!

Thanks, I'm going to start bombarding them about making the HS into an HSS.

Not as such, AFAIK, but the OLP dodgy ones come passive.

Should be a relatively straightforward mod....

Are the OLPs still around?
Dodgy?
In how far are the OLPs different to Stingrays?

I'll be joining on Thursday. I have a fretless HH 4 coming to me from a TBer.

Oh, just dodgy in that they're the weird cousin Ernie Ball never speak of. They're essentially the Squire Affinity to Fender's MIA basses.

 

[Project777]

OLP did have some nice models, the electronics were garbage though. I only played the John Petrucci model though.

I believe that the original SUB series US Stingrays had a passive model, but I'm not 100% on that.

Ha!
I think I was thinking of the SUB whilst saying OLP.

Were those any good/better than the olp basses?

I've never owned one, but they seem to be regarded as a steal for a US Musicman bass. There's also a club dedicated to them on TB.

And are they still around?
