mathewsanchez Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 'Old Red'. My beautiful 2EQ Stingray completed on 5th December 1989. The finish is trans red and i've put a clear pickguard on it so you can see the figuring of the wood. It's an amazing bass with lots of punch and the aggressive that 2 band Stingrays are known for. ...and with a black pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Dare I say it looks more striking to my eyes with the black guard. But that doesn't matter a toss , you have it how you want it. Fine looking bass , is it lightweight. I played a really light red one at the Yorks Bass Bash last Sun and now some fried brain cell tells me all red ones must be light!! Whatever - cracking 'Ray , mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistahbenn Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 lovely bass mate! There is another 89 on ebay at the moment, but it has the older style logo on the head... was that the transition year then? I really cant justify buying it although i would love to, it has a gorgeous birdseye maple neck! GAS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeward2004 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Gorgeous Ray there mate - looks a lot like the Ray Homerplaysbass used to own!! GOt to say im not a fan of the 2 Band Ray, for me it has to be a 3 band - but that is a real looker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay249 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yeah mine's neck was super awesome cooltastic xl but thats still one stunning looking stingray, would definitely have that one back without a doubt, but had to sell to get my 72 jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Saw the 'Ray in your avatar and had to find a full size picture of it. That's a beautiful Stingray especially with the see through p/g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got the clear one knocking about somewhere though. EDIT: Although looking back at those pictures, black looks pretty nice.

Huw Foster Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 That's beautiful. Same goes for almost any Stingray, but that's a particularly good specimen! It looks great with black or white pickguard (not sure about the clear one). If I were pushed, I'd say white, but if I had the option I'd still swap them every so often for the sake of it!

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Lovely looking Ray, Matthew. Personally, I think the clear guard looks seriously cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
