Just take it off, really easy to do and you can do it without taking strings off.

I did it to my white one and it looked good, just didn't want the holes!

What is the pickup route like on them, early stingrays just had a big rectangular hole then they started to follow the pickup shape in the early 80s to allow clear guards to be fitted, or like Flea and Tim Commerford, no guard.

I just tried it and it looks stunning but I noticed scratches on the pickguard and I hold the pickguard when plucking the E, so for me back on it went. And pickguard does make it look better.

That looks lovely! Get yourself a clear Perspex guard!

Wow, nice! What does it look like without a pickguard. I'd imagine even more beautiful.

Wow, that looks really cool. I prefer S.U.Bs look over Stingrays. It would be cool if they sold them without pickguards and you could buy one separate, if you wanted one and attached it yourself.

Which bit do you prefer the look of? I have owned 6 Rays so far and had many more pass through my hands, they look very very similar to me, I thought that was the point, Lol :D

:P

walnut satin?

surf green is only an option on the Classic I believe, but you can get the SBMM SUB in that colour, and with a maple fingerboard! :gas: (even if you'd have to import it yourself)... they have a few other satin finishes, and an interesting metallic red one too...
:)

You have thought about this too much, Lol :D

No, I have been enticed by the finishes they offer ;)
But I haven't bitten. I REALLY don't need more basses... or have room for them :lol:

Yeah I meant the finishes such as the satin colours like blue, red, walnut on the S.U.Bs .
On ray34 vintage cream, mint green with rosewood.
On ray35 with the cool circular plate instead of the usual 5 string plate (which I don't like).
And the bridges seem bigger on the ray4 and ray 34 series than on SOME stingrays.
There are all nice. I don't think many stingrays have those colours.
