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.

Yeah, he’s really ballsed up making basses. 😆

Meh. To all of this,

Honest guess? An Encore 3/4 with a messed about with body and added pickguard they were £89 in Argos in the 1990’s
