The chaps at Music Man came back with a pic of a redwood from from their vault (opened the other day specifically to check) and it's a white nut.

There were cream nuts produced before the...

Righto, so I can reasonably expect a luthier to take care, clean up and make good?
I'm used to the aircon guy smashing the old one out with a hammer, screwing in the new one, then departing leaving...

The plot thickens...

I'm a bit nervous about replacing this nut. It seems to be under a layer of lacquer, in fact the lacquer is holding the broken piece in place. What's a luthier going to do...

Were these ever the same colour? Or was there an ivory/cream coloured nut for the BFR Redwood StingRay?

Yeah, just waiting for Boltmasters to come back of their break.
The washers are .620" x .380" x .020".

Townsville, North Queensland.

The washers under the knobs on my neckthrough StingRay are rusty. I've emailed customer support, but I have to replace them today.

Do you know the size/type I need?

I can't imagine it being too...

"have faith" doesn't really answer my question.

Sorry, I must have gotten testosterone in my eyes, is there a reason why we can't pay a premium and choose which of the currently supplied necks, colours and hardware we want on a StingRay, say?

Splendid! Thanks.

While you're at it, WiilyD, do you have the specs for the pick up screws? The ones on the neck humbucker always rust first because it's also my thumb-rest.

No point naming Basses, they don't come when called.

How much would a replacement pre-amp for a neck-through StingRay cost? The other day I asked someone if it was over or under $500 and they hedged. I genuinely do not know.

I play even further up, resting my thumb on the base of the neck.

I use the neck pick up for Tainted Love and Lonely Boy.

Hehe! So I hear!

I'm afraid to even plug it in, the hole in the Ozone is directly above my house...

I keep seeing this combo referred to, but can't find any explanation of what, how or why. Is there anything intentional about it? Did the companies talk to one another to see how best to compliment...

Here it is in action:

You'll love it!
Pics!

It did start with a scratch from a shirt button though, right? I agree that it'd be great if everything just wore evenly rather than peeling. But once things are exposed, other things can get in...

I love the different colour "MusicMan" on the headstock. A good headstock is key to the looks of a Bass, imo.

The links for the pics are from my fb page. If that makes a difference.

There are two laminated barcodes in the case. What are they?

This one's getting played. They're both getting played til I die!

It's good.

I'd be interested to see where this BFR StingRay has been on its travels: E55967

Is there any way of telling whether it was one of the US fifty or the ROTW fifty? Can you tell which countries they...
