I have an extra set of Gotoh resolite reverse tuners here that I'm going to install on a CV 50s p im waiting for providing it plays great and isn't a boat anchor.

Ordering from a dealer is lengthly, but I'm trying to give the local guys some business.

This CIJ Sting bass became my main gigging bass after I switched out the tuners for the Gotoh Resolite its now under 8 lbs! With a little stewmac conductive shielding paint in pickup and control cavities its a lot quieter too. Love the bakelite saddles together with thomastik flats too. I really also wish Fender would add this model into the American reissue or other lineup, but don't know what the demand is except that I had difficulty getting this. I'd also appreciate a decent cover on the pickup itself (not the chrome), but have adapted to no thumb anchor.

Posting in case any of you are looking for one of these... Not sure if the pricing is appropriate, but note that they have this listed as "Vintage", which I believe means someone only has 3 days to return it after evaluation.

They read the dating sheet wrong - My bass is a P07xxx s/n CIJ which dates to 99-02 based on the "P" so its not a 1993. I LOVE those Paisley basses though. There is a steal on a Sting bass at Music Go round right now for 599 plus shipping. Its probably selling as I'm posting!

Man that's a beauty, I think I mentioned before I love the 'butterscotch' ones with black PG the best but the blonde is a looker too. Aside from looks what impressed me was the workmanship and more importantly the play-ability. I always wanted to try a P-Bass but the stigma or 'baseball bat' necks left me skeptical. This was my first P-Bass and I will confess I bought it on looks alone. Turns out it completely destroyed the image I had of the P-Bass plus I put a Lindy Fralin PU in it because, thanks to the wonderful folks at TB, I had never modded a bass. Totally changed my mind and as some of you may know this led to the purchase of the Noir Edition P-Bass, on looks alone, and my goodness it's a FANTASTIC instrument. I know my luck's going to run out one day and I'll only have myself (and TB) to blame.:laugh:
I do have a black PG for it, just in case.:rolleyes:
