The Stingray is hands down the best bass guitar.

Oh yes.



After playing mostly Jazz basses for the past few months, I have just gone back to the Stingray, and he first rehearsal I took it it was like falling in love all over again

after a long time hunting one down for the right deal I travelled to get a 1991 musicman stingray bass , pretty cool that it's the same age as me

4 string, 3 eq, maple neck, bridge with mutes, honeyburst colour, in mint condition! Perfect!

Here's a picture

WOW! What a stunner! Lucky you

[Prunesquallor]

Beautiful!

Ditto on not changing the pickguard - you can't hide that finish.

Foam mutes... Niiiice!

Well it's the best wooden bass for sure. Graphite, loving my 'Berger. I'm covered though having both...

The only thing I need now is a Kingbass....

And an alembic, and a precision hmmm

Excellent - now I understand why transparent scratchplates exist.
Lovely bass, my man - enjoy it and keep it!

Obviously not married yet, then?

Cool. I too have a honeyburst but with 2eq & a rosewood neck. It came with a clear scratchplate which really shows off the body. I have recently changed it for a mirror scratchplate which looks really good too. Enjoy.
