Here's some blurry pics of a great bass.

That one's not so bad.

Here's a brief sonic sample. Recorded on a Digitech BNX3. The first 30 seconds or so are w/ some weird pre-amp setting -- after that it's in bypass mode, but I doubt it's true bypass. I so love the tone on this thing.

Ok, so it's not a Stingray, but that sounds better than Summer Stinger.

She's a beaut!

What are your electronics?

Anniversary, which I guess means I can run in stereo, something I haven't explored.

This was sort of an experiment bass. There were a lot of unknowns going into it. I'm very happy with the results, but of course I remain curious about other variations.

Your set up looks like ...master Vol/pickup select/pan/two filters/two Q switches/LED dimmer(rotary)/LED off,on(toggle)/ Stereo/mono (toggle).....by the way some very funky chopps Dude!.....

there's a master volume for each pickup, so you blend them that way.

a neat trick: keeping the filter closed on the neck pickup, blending it in creates an almost subliminal sub-bass effect...you keep the bridge pickup tone, but with extra thickness or body...it sounds great.

that's what you call the series bass effect.

Thanks! Here's a couple w/ LEDs... Man these photos are wack.

Note in the 2nd photo the chrome truss rod cover...this is originally what I wanted, and Susan and Mica were kind enough to make the switch...so now I've got both...free of charge!! I kind of wanted a little more metal with the LEDs....frosty!

For a second you had me goin' with that shot in the mirror. I got to see your bass as a lefty! Damn! those LED's are bright! I believe there is a pot in the control cavity to turn them down correct? Listened to your mp3. Killer tone with or without the weird preamp setting I think.

yeah, that shot's in a mirror. actually I am left-handed, but I play right-handed. it's a regular right-handed bass. oh yeah, I can turn down the LEDs. and that's not even at their brightest.
