And that ding...while a colour match...needs sorting properly.

Yeah. It was closer when it was originally for sale. It’s gone the wrong direction sort of...

Well. Leg one of the journey is done. It’s made it from the Russian gumtree seller to my shipping agent in Vladivostok...

Yeah, I’m a big stingray fan - I’ve had about 6. I would only buy an earlier 90’s one now.

It’s all I’ve got Chris...leave me be 😩

Don’t. The hurt is too much...

I was at Powys Castle in August

Never say never mate. We have friends in Newtown.

Yes - it’s pretty much my golden rule. Maple fingerboards shouldn’t wear matching body colour headstocks. Looks turd.

No, full side depth - the aerodyne basses are sort of convex front and back, meeting at a slimmer depth - like an Ibanez S-line guitar.

I know - should’ve bought @4000’s pro 2. What a dummy I am.

OOOOH. hmm. nice. Dont want one. Or do I. Love Sherwood

Think this is some custom shop doofer - not necessarily an anniversary model. I really want to slap Fender’s marketing and design team at times. Anyhow. I’d get my mate Rog to make me a p/j of the above. Which I already sort of have. So I don’t want it.

Has anyone in Manchester/NW area got one? When “lockdown 3 - back to lockdownia” is over I wouldn’t mind a closer look/trial before I decide on ordering new or buying used and living with it for a bit before investing £7000-£8000 in something my kids will probably sneeze on...

Don’t know what model this is. Custom shop or something. I want this. I corrected my earlier comment worries.

Ah good. Something I DON’T want. Good stuff.

Still waiting on Al Krow to buy one, I’m sending him some sandpaper in the post to sort the neck 😆

My uncle had one of these in about 1990, thought he was rich... anyhow... what were we saying...

I have never once worried this much about anything. Here’s how I run the scenario in my head (taking into account: room dynamics, band set up, amp, strings, pickup position, signal chain, bass construction, player, fingers or pick...all other possible variables...) For this - please imagine an internalised conversation with oneself... “does this sound good?” ’yes...’ “Very good - carry on...” OR ”Something doesn’t sound quite right” ’what are you going to do?’ ”change a couple of settings until it sounds better” ’very good’

I think they’re 32” - this is a pretty uncommon finish, normally seen in black or black with ghost flames which changed orange to purple. this one is on reverb at about £650 currently.

What a dummy. He’ll never make a name for himself.
