Here's a brief sonic sample. Recorded on a Digitech BNX3. The first 30 seconds or so are w/ some weird "pre-amp" setting -- after that it's in bypass mode, but I doubt it's true bypass. I so love the tone on this thing. http://hb3.com/mp3/BASS.mp3 Ok, so it's not a Stingray, but that sounds better than "Summer Stinger." the_8_string_king Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 54 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 12:30 am:    She's a beaut! What are your electronics? hb3 Member Username: hb3 Post Number: 56 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 1:16 am:    Anniversary, which I guess means I can run in stereo, something I haven't explored. This was sort of an "experiment" bass. There were a lot of unknowns going into it. I'm very happy with the results, but of course I remain curious about other variations. serialnumber12 Advanced Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 337 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 6:51 am:    Your set up looks like ...master Vol/pickup select/pan/two filters/two Q switches/LED dimmer(rotary)/LED off,on(toggle)/ Stereo/mono (toggle).....by the way some very funky chopps Dude!.....

Keep doing what you doing! Rory hb3 Member Username: hb3 Post Number: 59 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 7:21 pm:    Thanks! Here's a couple w/ LEDs... Man these photos are wack. Note in the 2nd photo the chrome truss rod cover...this is originally what I wanted, and Susan and Mica were kind enough to make the switch...so now I've got both...free of charge!! I kind of wanted a little more metal with the LEDs....frosty! jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 312 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Friday, January 06, 2006 - 6:44 am:    For a second you had me goin' with that shot in the mirror. I got to see your bass as a lefty! Damn! those LED's are bright! I believe there is a pot in the control cavity to turn them down correct? Listened to your mp3. Killer tone with or without the weird preamp setting I think. hb3 Member Username: hb3 Post Number: 62 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, January 06, 2006 - 9:23 am:    yeah, that shot's in a mirror. actually I am left-handed, but I play right-handed. it's a regular right-handed bass. oh yeah, I can turn down the LEDs. and that's not even at their brightest.
