Stingray5

It's been a while since I posted here so thought I'd pop this pic of me 'n' my '89 Ray5 at a recent festival gig. Bought in '97, it's been my main go-to bass ever since. All original apart from the white pearl plate. Yeah, it's weightier than a modern Ray -- about 10.5 lbs -- but it's not really a problem. Ask me again when I'm the other side of 70! 👍🤠👍

Hi, I got the plate from Amazon. I posted details and a link (it's only a couple of posts above your one) but here's the link again: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019IDNW90/

Whoa! Hope it's not too long before things are back to normal. And if I may just add... Good luck with the nail!

Well, I'll take that as an upside to my not being able to make it either. 😉 Wishing you all a speedy recovery. 👍🤞

No worries, Chris. I'll check back with Colin. Yes indeed, another good bash judging by the pics

Many thanks to those folks who have posted pics and video so far. Only thing is, I'm feeling even more gutted that I couldn't make it to the bash. (No car - see my earlier post). Some excellent gear as usual and as someone who is still using old school Trace Elliot, I think @Merton's new TE head is something I will be checking out - once I get my eyes back in their sockets! Roll on next year! @Hamster & @ped, I did send you a PM t'other day but not sure if you may have spotted it yet. I appreciate you've been busy ).

I'm totally gutted but it looks like I may not make it on Sunday. A few weeks ago my car was badly damaged when it was hit and forced off the road by a stolen car during a police chase. (It wasn't me ociffer!). The bottom line is, my car was written off and I've yet to find a suitable replacement. There's still a couple of days and if I find something I'll be there. If not, have a good one y'all and I'll look forward to seeing Silvia's pics afterwards. Cheers, Steve x
