I gots regular stuff too.
First bass of 2024: Schecter Omen Extreme 4 in vintage sunburst, strung with Cobalt flats. Came with the hardcase, a couple of books, and a strap. Listed as used, but hardly played at all.
Looks good!
Where did you get the knobs?
Are you gonna put marker dots on the control plate, like the metal dots that are used on Wals (what are those things anyway?)?
Those are Lusithand knobs.
Lusithand Double NFP pre
Turner multi coils.
I’m going to wait to do anything else until I can swap the chrome hardware for black. I’m not sure what Wal uses for the markers.

Are you gonna keep the MM style bridge or go for something more Wal-ish?
I’m keeping the mm style bridge for this build. But, I’m going to black out the hardware.
unfortunately there are no good drop in MM replacements, and they are really good bridges.
That looks so fun. The pickups are slammed against the bridge and the neck.

Well, I prefer tweed cases, so I will go with the case?

It's from the late '60s and short-scale... a north-south pu arrangement was common then.
Just got this bad boy 5 days ago. I call it my Bling Ray. We're still getting acquainted.
This is my first Sting Ray in 30+ years. My first was a pre-Ernie Ball. If only I knew then what we know now..

Put a white pickguard on the Fender and we have a definitive winner !
(I wouldn't spit on the Lakeland though…….)
Okay…………l'm mot a Ray fan but if I was to have one, this would be THIS one……..and let me play disco songs all night long in front of a crowd dancing and sweating.
Wonderful looking bass, congrats.
Such a classic!
