Mike Herrera's Stingray Collection

[Randracula]

Although MxPx may not be everyone's cup of tea(I happen to like them) Mike certainly has a nice collection of Stingrays.I thought this was worthy of sharing for those of you who haven't seen them......

Man that is a sweet bass! How lucky is Mike to have EBMM building custom basses like that for him! He deserves it though.One of the hardest working bands out there.........

Mike has a great tone, and a killer collection of Rays, no doubt.

I like the white one, nice and simple.

The sparkly yellow one is nice too.

pickguard design

does anyone know of any place that i could get a custom design on a pickguard, just like mike's?

 

[Figjam]

Sticker?

And, I haven't seen any of his Stingrays show up on eBay, either!

I agree. I'm digging that white one, too (for obvious reasons ). I also like that dark red one with the white pearloid guard and maple neck. It's very elegant.

Thanks for sharing, Randy!

I like the gold and maple piece.

That one with the grasshopper on it is all passive, right?

 

[Figjam]

passive Stingray? I guess its possible that they disabled the preamp.. maybe.

How could you tell? I thought it was just a regular 2B EQ SR4.

It was brought up once before in an older thread. What we see are "dummy pots" as someone here so eloquently put it. I believe the pickup is wired directly to the output jack. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

A very nice collection indeed!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Nice collection but not an MXPX fan. Like you said, just not my cup of tea.

He has a few that the p/ups are wired directly to the jack. The Panic bug is one of them

I'm listening to some samples of their songs on Allmusic.com. Not bad!

Huh? I thought the output was so low on the MM pickups that they wouldn't work properly this way? Is he using some sort of outboard preamp to boost the signal or do you have special made passive pickups for this sort of request?
