Mar 18, 2024 · I've not played a Special yet, but I have a Sterling 5 and have owned an Alnico Stingray 5 and a Bongo 5. Given the differences in tone between those 3 and that the Specials have Neodymium pickups and an 18v preamp I would definitely try it first, or get advice from a reliable source as to whether or not the Specials sound like an Alnico Stingray.

Jan 18, 2014 · Hi LowerBavarian, It's unlikely the bass left the US factory in that condition !

Jun 2, 2008 · Hello then. I'm responding to eamonsr5 from 06-02-2008. I play a 1979 Music Man Sabre Bass. I recently saved a gigin' friends bass, that he traded to a G.C., in order to install a Kahler wammi (don't wanna tamper with the 79). It is a 1992 Stingray I think.

If you look closely you will see an oval shaped insert in the top of each bridge saddle against which the string seats against as it passes over the saddle.
Mar 19, 2022 · For a 2001 Stingray 5, this is correct. In 2008 the Stringray 5 controls changed to Bridge - Parallel; Middle - Series with filter; Neck - Series. Along with that the pickup polepiece material changed from ceramic to alnico. Experts correct me on the date if it's not correct.
Jul 22, 2016 · Hey guys, so I have a bunch of Stingrays, and I just got this Bongo 4H PDN Tobacco Burst a bit ago. I'm having a REALLY hard time getting used to it. Has anyone else had this Issue? I think I might sell it, but don't know what to ask for it, any thoughts? It's basically new. I guess I...
Dec 29, 2017 · Hi all. I wanted to share share my new bass purchase with the Ernie Ball community. This is my 1988 SR 5.
