Pic of my bass

[cybrpunk]

Thought I'd finally post a picture of my Stingray on the web. http://www.missouri.edu/~nsh50a/My Stingray.JPG
I made the pic guard out of a mud flap 5 years ago. Too bad the new subs look similar.

haha ...

wow ... nice job
but now it seems that your ray 'degrade' to sub level

 

[cybrpunk]

I know, I about cried when i saw they had "diamon plate" on the subs. At least mine is real diamond plate. Only problem is that it shreds pics like a B%&ch

Thats a pretty sweet lookin 'Ray you got there cybrpunk

 

[midopa]

Very nice! But the focus is kinda off, no? Also, is that strap button a different one than the stock?

In any case, lovely SR ya got there!

 

[johans]

Strap lock.

questions

Yeah, it's one of the older style dunlop straplocks before they made them so you can use straps without the straplock installed. The picture is out of focus too. I was borrowing a friends digital camrea which kept washing out the color if the flash was on so I had to keep it off. I just had it arround to take pictures of my Warwick Thumb 5 string I'm trying to trade for a Sterling.

color

Oh, and its the trans teal not green. The color balance of the pic is off

"Only problem is that it shreds pics like a B%&ch"

There's an easy way to prevent this problem---stop using picks!

 

[johans]

hey cyber

or your could open your own industry doing the 'original' diamond plate
and sell it to future SUBs hahaha

Looks like a quality job, with having real diamond plate does it make your bass alot heavier?

 

[cybrpunk]

weight

I haven't noticed any difference weight wise. The Diamond plate is made out of aluminum so it's pretty light.

 

[Mantaray]

I like very much the chrome scratchplates. They look very cool but not on honeyburst or generally vintage colored models.

I guess I'm so old that the appeal of the diamond plate p/g goes right over my head. It's a good thing you play with a pick instead of your fingers though.

 

[cybrpunk]

I acutally play with my fingers 90% of the time. It works great because the ridges pretty much create instant thumb rests all over the bass.

Cool! I never considered that aspect of diamond plate.

 

[cybrpunk]

ah ha, maybe you aren't too old for diamond plate!

 

[Baddog]

I usually rest my thumb on the pickup, just habit I guess
