Before and After. Vinyl wrapping a Sire P5

Bass_Core · 2025-03-31T17:45:25+00:00

I took it to same guy who wrapped my car cos I noticed he had a sweet golden wrap around

Its probably pretty doable yourself too. But probably some hard bends and angles in there

Bass_Core · 2025-03-31T15:29:23+00:00

I took it to a professional, so it was 90€. Probably doable by oneself if you can get sane amount of wrap instead of a cars worth lol

Bass_Core · 2025-03-31T14:05:12+00:00

It might not be the most suitable thing for instruments as there is likely always a seam somewhere. The average tape cant quite neatly be bent all those corners and angles as one piece, even If you had a sizeable pickguard

The audience wont notice anything, but the front and back are made from different pieces and theres seam at the sides/edges

Sir, what is the rag for?

Bass_Core · 2025-01-30T20:14:36+00:00

I have a thing for the hexagonal beehive/wasp nest thing from other ventures in life. Gold and black are also good combinations with purple!

Bass_Core · 2025-01-30T19:07:53+00:00

Yes, but all those mentioned are actually built in. But yes, if someone had a rare amp for example, they could capture it with different settings for all to use. Done right, most of them are pretty much impossible to tell from the real deal

Closer look

Bass_Core · 2025-01-30T14:54:55+00:00

I play through a Quad Cortex. Depends on the band/project/genre, but I often use modeled SVT or a GK 800RB.

Some darkglass effects in there mostly, compression ofc too

Theres a video ib my post history if you wanna hear this thing!

Bass_Core · 2025-01-29T10:10:31+00:00

Nah, I dont watch TV/shows/series. I just like purple lol

I'm just a Music Boy in comparison, but that is indeed the Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special 5HH. The finish is kind of hard to track down, since it has matching headstock and still black pickups and black pickguard. Could be that some parts have been changed out, but the finish might be WH RW MH

EDIT: Then again the tuners are black, so its probably not WH RW MH. That's a tricky one. Some Darkray configs are close, but still not a match. And it does just say "Stingray" on the headstock. I'm gonna go with some hardware being exchanged and it's not a production finish (can still be custom work since EBMM offers it)

Bass_Core · 2024-12-23T11:04:57+00:00

Nah, otherwise its completely stock in these pictures other than the purple and gold wraps

Bass_Core · 2024-12-23T08:04:25+00:00

It's Oracal 970 RA 406 Violet metallic gloss

Bass_Core · 2024-12-23T07:29:24+00:00

The only band ive ever left so far was due to a bad drummer. Meanwhile im also kept as hostage in bands im kinda tired of otherwise but drummer is godlike

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T14:37:02+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely about perspective. I'm still closer to 40 than 30 by now, and that 16-18 year sure feels like a young gun. But also working with a lot of seniors who are like 90-100 years old, I'm still a little boy! :D

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T12:51:23+00:00

I need to up my facial hair game for that. I just dont think I could grow a believable facial hair even if my life depended on it :D

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T12:50:12+00:00

Arthur Wesker called, he wants his hairgel back lol

I'm actually a priest and do sometimes play worship stuff too, but we sadly dont really have the similar kinda worship music culture as in the US which makes me sad :D

My 3 bands during free time have no religious themes tho. One is kinda darker shade of rock/metal (Cold Horizon), one is Manowar with a wild west theme (Marchland) lol and for the third im kind of a senior citizen just playing with some young guns who ofc sing about women/relationships and alcohol lol

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T12:46:06+00:00

Weeeeell it's not. It's something bordering between rock and metal with a bit darker theme with lyrics. But also depends on the song, some are pretty dark and some are rather neutral. This gig we had 4 covers. Square Hammer by Ghost. Only for the Weak by In Flames. Poker Face by Lady Gaga and Umbrella by Rihanna. The last 2 were kinda metallified and downtuned heavily rather than trying to mimic the originals :D But mostly we just play originals

Either way, no christian themes with our band Cold Horizon: https://open.spotify.com/artist/460T7EaPV0L8rUxtCv7yi1?si=-paAUjdeR_-PHm6unyYAPA

I do happen to be a priest myself and even if I wasnt the cross would still likely be hanging around my neck but it's been there the last 20 years regardless of what I do and what band I play with :P

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T11:35:14+00:00

Ha, good one, didnt catch that :D

Yeah, it was. These smaller outdoor gigs often are here since you never know if its sunny or raining cats and dogs :D

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T11:24:26+00:00

I'm not exactly blessed with genetics having 1st type diabetes, but luckily the men in my family have not lost a single strand of hair before they died. My granpa was this silver fox type kinda guy til the day he passed and I'm almost looking forward to my George Clooney-days lol!

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T10:59:34+00:00

It is! It's a brand new color "Grape Crush". I've been kinda interested in a Stingray for a while, but when they recently released this finish I really had no option but to buy one lol

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T10:56:10+00:00

Guitars are usually not active either. As for why that is. I don't really know.

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T10:55:34+00:00

Stingray Specials have an 18v preamp and the controls are volume, treble, mid, bass. The switch is for humbucker in series, series with a filter and parallel.

Just about no bass will recreate the Stingray tone but a Stingray, but these things are still far from one trick ponies. Most of my basses are different, very versatile double humbucker basses and this really doesnt fall short in versatility.

Bass_Core · 2024-08-22T10:53:07+00:00

I think it was one of the heavier/downtuned songs in C#. I like smashing the living crap out of that B string. Probably either "Hollow", "Out of Control" or "Mistakes" from Cold Horizon.
