Maybe the color changed to “Podium Gold” like the non reverse that was just listed in the Mod Collection thread…..

It was definetly loved (or hated) by somebody. I seem to remember one with the knee rest missing listed a few years back. Not sure if it had all of the modifications this beauty has………….

No matter how well the circuit works, it still sounds like an “Electric Fart”! It would be nice if you could use the FuzzTone on both the bass & the guitar………

Wow! $50,000 with a non functioning FuzzTone circuit! I was at Carter Vintage a few years back, a very nice store. Gruhn’s & Carter’s are only about a block apart.

The Stingray uses active NEO Pickups. Not enough info on the 916 website to tell if they are active or passive…..

I've switched most of my speaker cab's to NEO speakers for weight reasons, not sure what advantage NEO pickups would have.

I only use the side dots also. It must be somewhat comforting to know that the fret markers have always been there……

« on: February 04, 2024, 08:16:33 AM »Like this sketch that I drew a while ago.
Brooks SG (Silver & Gold)
It started with the idea to use gold coloured frets (a special sort of brass actually) for the 3rd, 5th, 7th etc positions instead of the traditional markers.
But then I figured what if I took that idea a bit further with all metal parts of the bass.
Nice! I like the plating combo! The lack of fret markers reminds me of a conversation I had with a coworker who played classical guitar. He would always say “Scales, scales, scale's”. He would go home at night & play scales for hours. He mentioned that the lack of fret markers was because a good classical guitarist felt they were so skilled, they didn’t need them. Neck memory? This could be the bass equivalent…….
