Scott S Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Oh, good grief, here we go again... My favourite combo'...white/maple. Somebody, hurry up and buy this, my GAS and non-existent disposable income is bad enough without adding Stingray fuel to the fire. Seriously nice bass/price. GLWTS, bud.
GrammeFriday Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Deedee is a gent and a true Stingray connoisseur - buy or trade with 100% confidence, folks.

Deedee Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 All pm's replied to. Sorry for the delay, getting 3G or wireless has been a bit of an issue up here in the windy highlands of Scotland!
Salotti Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Hi mate, are you interested in a Fender Precision Special FSR Deluxe? Is the active version. Let me know Cheers

Is the active version. Let me know Cheers [/quote] Hi Afraid not, I'm looking for a bog standard American plug and play and it must have a Precision neck, not a jazz. Cheers
Deedee Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 [quote name='ash' timestamp='1408529752' post='2531016'] The inevitable 'what's the weight' question [/quote] Not entirely sure on the weight. It's an ash body and certainly weighs far more than a new US std Precision I tried in a shop the other day. To be fair I do prefer a bass with a bit of weight to it 😉
Deedee Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Now on hold pending payment (after buyer returns from holiday) Cheers
