any of you tried or thinking of upgrading the stingray from 9 - 18v?
is it worth upgrading? pro / cons?

That would mean carving out a new batter cavity...ugh. Unless you put like a 4band Preamp in there I can't see the point.

I had an 18volt Kubicki... there really is no difference to me. Heck, I wish that stingrays would have a pull passive switch to be honest. The sound of passive basses are more pure and woody. I'm thinking of getting the Bartolini replacement pickup/preamp(NTMB) which has an active/passive pull switch. Bass Northwest highly recommended it.

If it takes carving out a new battery cavity I think that I'll pass.
