Cheapo NBD!

Turser for the econo-bass win!

You gonna keep it, or flip it?

Thanks.

For the time being I'll keep. I know I could flip and probably make back double, but I'vealways liked the Stingray look, so I'll probably just keep it period. It's kinda ridiculous tho, I think I'm up to 7 basses now and not even playing bass in a band. At least, 5 of the 7 were only in the $100-125 range. And the other 2 weren't much more ($250 w/hsc & $275 w/hsc).

Oops, I misspoke about the 5 cheapies-- the other 4 were that range. The StingJay was $60.

Cool find! I love the Stingray style.

Cool find! I love the Stingray style.

Thanks, yeah, I always thought the oval pg was cool. The giant hb too. If I understand the controls correctly, there's a vol, and then tones for each coil. Pretty interesting.

Also, I did some more work on the input jack issue. The hand tightening fixed the noise, but the jck wasn't 100% tight. I opened the back so I could hold onto the inside of the jack while tightening the collar on the outside, but they were frozen and would only turn in tandem, without tightening. So I fashioned a C ring out of plastic, then wedged it under the washer on the outside. Almost invisible, a bit Jerry-rigged, but works perfectly to keep the jack nice and tight.
