It's a 25th Anniversary Musicman. Has tons of tone options including a passive or active mode. LOVE it.

Cool, didn't know you were a Musicman guy as well. Do you run your 25th active or passive most of the time?

Yea I love Musicman. Used to have a standard Stingray and a Bongo HH (want it back sooooooooo bad!!!!). Down to just the 25th Stingray HSS now.

As far as passive and active go. I find myself switching it up from time to time depending on what I'm playing. I mostly use passive mode because it seems to work better with most effects. If I need an extra sound boost or more clarity, I'll put it in active. I also have been switching up string types and trying to get what sounds best on it. Right now it's strung with Rotosound Flatwound medium gauges. But I am starting to think Flats sound like shit on this bass. I had it strung with some DR Marcus Miller Fat Beams and those sounded fantastic! I don't know why I don't just stick to one type of string. ADD I guess.

Also I think Musicman's have a very thick sound but can be thin when needed. Very versatile basses IMO.

Certainly not for everybody :idk: I never could get a sound out of my Stingray that I liked..
It was always either too boomy or too bright/brittle...never could seem to find a happy medium..:mope:

Sometimes I wish I still played bass...but I would definitely choose a different one if I were given a second chance...

I miss having a Stingray. I have my L2000 configured like one (bridge pick-up, in series, pre-amp on) and it hasn't changed in many moons.

:cry: That is the saddest looking pedalboard I've seen in a long time. We should hold a fundraiser to help Eric get his pedals back. :hug: :animal:

I've literally owned at least one of every model up except the 25th/Reflex. I'd really love a 5 string HH Reflex, I think its the best sounding HH model they have. I was a huge Bongo guy back in the day. Of course now I'm in love with my two Big Al's, I run the SSS one passive and the H one active, to me it just sounds better that way. Luckily none of my pedals seem to change at all when flipping between modes.

I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.
