I had to route a bigger cavity on my bass to fit a double battery housing.

Really cool. Glad they don’t offer this as a special configuration- I could end up owning yet another bass. The emgs sound really good.

My six string conversion was originally a Jay Turser MusicMan Five string. I had bought two of them; one red one, and one blue one. Oddly enough, the JayTursers were in a standard Fender or Musicman string spacing, as opposed to the OLP, SUB, Sterling, or most other Musicman copies. ... but, I liked the skinnier OLP for the fretless, since I had been used to a Fernandez Gravity V ... So I plugged and re-drilled the head-stocks on the Jay Tursers, making the red one a fretless six string, and the blue one a ten string octave monster.

Great job Lobster.

man…that thing sounds great! 🤩

That’s probably your best sounding modded bass ever!!

Very cool looking mods--the bass looks killer now. That all black hardware with red body and maple neck is YUMMY! Probably going to get slammed... but I've gotta say I'm not thrilled with the EMGs (although it has grown on me after listening through a few times). I've have several basses with EMGs, and I think they are engineered very well and the quality is top notch. Also, EMG makes it really, really easy to install their electronics. I don't know what it is, but of all the basses I've had with EMGs, I've only been completely happy with one specific bass (that was an Ibanez Doug Wimbish 4-string model). The rest, including a Spector I had, I've not been thrilled with. I'd probably not be so turned off by the sound here if I didn't know the bass started life as a "Stingray." The EMGs seem to lose almost all that character. With all the mods you did, I wonder how it would sound with the addition of an EXB control, rather than the 2-band, to give a sharper slap sound? I wonder if it would give that glassy, super-clean, scooped Henrik Linder tone. I love the sound he gets for slap from his bass. Too bad the bass he uses costs like... $10,000!

Nice, I hope to get one of those EMG's for my bass.

Cool project, nice outcome I've got some emg45 TW pickups for a six string build I'll be getting going on down the road, I have some EMG 35 DC just getting underway with and I have a EMG mmcs five string so it's got the ceramic steel pickups so much mellower than what you have with the twos I was actually hoping it was a cstw so it can be split have that mellow or tone that could then go to a single coil sound but still mellowed by the ceramic steel variation got a few different preamp options from EMG I absolutely love their wiring stuff when they first came out I thought they had a few issues they need to address and they seem to really pay attention and pay close attention to what their customer said because everything that came together by that group of early solderless wiring and preamp customers that that system should be adopted by every maker of pickups and preamps and parts and it just universalize that and then make improvements from there but it's I've been using those sets all along as a default standard gear on my builds and unless the customer specify something else and I've never had a single one come back for even just checking them out. Had a couple of it builds after about 12 years that I had a good customer calling about scratchy crackling sounds and obviously we know that's just a dirty pot a little deoxid spray turn the knob up and down up and down up and down about 8 seconds later that was gone and it's just such well built stuff and they have such a wide variety of product for guitar and bass active and passive such a wide variety of tones with in so many of the products and ability to easily get from One tone to the next to the next to the next and background and if you know where they are on on your controls you're there and the best part about working with EMG products, 100% honestly and I am not paid by them I'm not sponsored nothing although I'd be willing to listen to conversation absolute best part about working with EMG products is that you're also 100% working with the EMG people. And whether you're a customer working on your first mod or replacing something that went bad or you're an experienced tech or like me you've been building high-end custom instruments with other people's names on them for about a quarter century and you are now going to be offering these same and other custom and semi custom builds as well as a huge variety of aftermarket and replacement parts add-ons customization parts in more materials than I could ever possibly list here EMG people are the second to none. And all of my experiences they were the best customer service and technical support people have had the pleasure to work with when I was coupling one of their competitors pickups with their control system the builder of the pickups, a very popular very successful builder that we all know, basically through their hands up and said you're putting it with that stuff we have no idea you're on your own bud and that was the limit of their help I wasn't looking for them to walk me through it just maybe point out some things to look forward I'm fairly capable they wouldn't even do the bare minimum of hey make sure you got the bridge ground connected nothing and we're very nice about refusing to help they're only offer of a solution was to use the wiring and the pots that came with those pickups my customer wanted EMG with their pickups I'm going to give my customer what they want unless it's going to set their guitar on fire I'm going to get my customer and not only did EMG listen to my situation they walked me through the full install even though I didn't need it they wanted to and they walk me through a very thorough extensive testing to make sure everything was connected correctly everything was functioning correctly everything was full dynamic and tonal range and we actually found an issue and found that it couldn't be immediately corrected because of just a design quirk between the way they do things and the way their competitor does things and as of 3 years ago that is no longer a problem they changed they adapted as soon as they learned of the issue they they immediately implemented a change order in their process and began rapidly retrofitting there on the shelf stock. Yeah, the EMG people know what they're doing, they are way more than a fucking 8185 set for metal guitar. It's a nice pick up set, it's just a pickup set that and they offer so many more widely very sex options and I'm not a person who likes to choose limit variety I got to get back to work and I'm yammering here but I really look forward to possibly working with some of the community here on builds on utilizing some of the aftermarket proprietary stuff that we are bringing to market because this is a passion of mine and I can't stop doing this stuff and building this stuff so I might as well see if someone wants to buy it and people have been buying it for 25 years so the company is Chiron MusicWorks LLC we are a United States based company we are everything in house in our shop we sustainably source right now about 88% of our existing inventory is sustainably sourced and 10% of every dollar we make we provide to one of four charitable endeavors all this stuff will be on our website or KZread channel which should be up and running in the next I'll just say it it will be the website and KZread channel and then Facebook page and Instagram those will all be up and running very soon and I can't wait to meet some of you and work with some of you and build some bases and guitars and people's dreams because that's one of the things that makes me happy to give some money instrument they have been dreaming of my goal is to be selling a lot of $16,000 guitars and bases but just not selling them for $16,000 everything is handmade American so there's a price to it but I don't want to sell stuff for that price so all right got to get back to work thank you for those that are still reading and for those that are going to decide to look out for us and then look us up maybe work with us I can't wait we're not just about the the instruments looking for you

You use the Tele switch instead of the little module. The Tele switch acts as a signal and power hub

I have a Ray5 in surf green ( I know it's mint, but I like surf instrumental so I call it surf green), anyway I ended up replacing the bridge saddles with ones I made (the stock ones were crap, I had to use 3 different hex keys to adjust the pu height.) And I made a pickguard out of mother-of-pearl material (for that surf aesthetic) I also dumped all the pots in favor of a SPDT on-off toggle. The stock ceramic pu really bites when run with no preamp or pots, but it was missing something. I have some EMG pu hanging around and been considering modding the bass to a bridge/humbucker-neck/single coil configuration. It's a no cost mod to me as I already have all the stuff. I was just hesitant to do all that work if it would sound like crap when I was done. The Ray5 is the single pu model and I would have to route the body for the bridge pu. However, after listening to your in depth review of the modded Ray4, I'm confident I will get the sound I want and it will be worth the effort. The best part is, the mod is reversible as the pick guard for the single Ray5 will cover any bridge hole I route into the body and the EMG humbucker will fit in the existing route for the stock Ray5 pickup. Thanks for the inspiration. 8)
