SBMM Stingray Short scale

[dralionux]

I assume your SS4 was also in parallel mode (position 1)?

You are correct, sir

Gladly!
The strap is a custom 3" strap from Coco Guitar Straps: Invalid Link Removed
Her straps are fabric, very light and comfortable. Made with a bit of padding in the middle, they really conform to my shoulder and do not slip very easily. They are lighter weight than my leather and my cotton/leather straps, which seems nice to me.

She normally does 2" wide straps, but with just a message and small upcharge you can get a 3" wide one. That both provides a wider tapestry for the art, it also makes them so much more comfortable.

My Coco made straps are my favorite straps ever.

Thanks for the info.
I ran across Coco while strap shopping but don't think I knew they could do 3 inch versions.

Yep, just message her through Etsy and she will gladly make a 3" version for you. If you want to change the color of the strap ends, she has several options available for that too. I think there's a small upcharge, but the total cost is still less than what my Levy's cotton and leather strap was.

Has anyone done any Mods to their short scale yet? Tim

So far, only one. I replaced the maple neck with a darkwood fingerboard neck. A friend who sometimes lurks here has a white StingRay with a maple neck.

Waiting on parts to do the next set of mods.

That combo looks so much better, IMO.

I agree, and I think the white with maple really looks great too.

So far, I've only replaced the somewhat wobbly push-pull pot with a better quality pull-pot. Also, I would like to swap the neck with maple fingerboard for one with rosewood fingerboard. But there's probably to few interested users over here in Europe ...

I just like the color scheme

Those are sweet. Looks like a dressed down version of the BFR Short Scale Bombshell.
Im curious to see if this one makes the cut to stay.

I had a tough choice between getting another dropped copper or the new black.
I went for something different that what I had before.
I’ve had several of these and keep coming back so I think I should just stick with it..
I’m not normally very image conscious but I wonder if the black one would look good with those faux block inlay stickers ?
I got some Hipshot HB14 tuners with black lollipops to drop in.

I do not realize these would be limited I’m production numbers.
I’m glad the Sterling models sound practically the same.

If I could convince myself I needed it the Blue is pretty sweet. Compared to the Petrucci 5 string it’s an absolute steal.

I like the blue too!! I would have put gold hardware on the purple .

Love it. Sounds killer with my Fender Rumble 100. Playing for 90 min per day. Soooo comfortable. oNe LovE from NYC

So my first “mod” is a pick guard change! I was thinking no pick guard or a clear one but decided on this. Tim
