Looks like there's a "2" before the "5". Perhaps the serial is 25101. Does it have "Ernie Ball" on the headstock? If so it's an early 1987 Ernie Ball SR4 and will appear on the serial list finder as...

The 3EQ on the Special Basses is described as a re-voiced 3EQ preamp. I've yet to play one but Customer Service would be able to answer your question.
I set my five Sting Rays with a straight neck, a string height just a tad under 3/32" at the 12 fret and Super Slinkys. Most times use a pick. Never had a problem.
The two side bolts mainly aid in preventing the string saddles moving side ways.
Maybe it has been messed with. I remember seeing threads on another Bass Forum discussing mods for the OLP the same as yours.
The schematic I referred you to is a Seymour Duncan "Bass Lines"...

The tone capacitor is .05
Have a great Day BP. Cheers and beers.
Seems good.
For what it's worth (and from memory) the body wood back then for Trans Red was Alder.
Welcome to the Forum.
As far as I'm aware the setup specs should be the same.
In the meantime, it would be interesting to know if contacts were the problem!
Welcome to the Forum.
The only other thing I can think of is to use contact cleaner on the switch contacts.
LOL. If it's the one I'm thinking of, I still have it somewhere :eek: :D
Have a great Xmas Chuck.
Great pics!
Hey Pete. Have you got any update pics?
A very good choice. I'll never part with mine :D

Actually, omitting the "B" does seem to work. I submitted about eight and the descriptions matched. May be too many to be a coincidence. Of course, "B" serial instruments from 1984 to the end of 1986...
If it's an Ernie Ball Sting Ray then the serial indicates 1987-88. These serials are not recorded on the Ernie Ball serial data base. You may find a date on the back of the preamp which can give an...
Welcome to the Forum.
I believe the pickups are passive. Some of the other guys here may reply soon and confirm either way.
Hi.

I suppose the only thing you can do now is check if the neck is an original MM neck, period correct, and that the neck date close to the body date.
Do you have larger pics?
Hi and welcome to the Forum.
Enter the serial number of your Bass in the link below. It should give a description of the instrument it relates to.
