GreeneKing Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Like a New Bass Day but a New Bass Ray I've not so far as I can remember ever played a Musician Stingray (I've picked up a couple and noodled acoustically) so when I found myself in Promenade Music with an hour to kill it was one of several that I picked up. I also tried a Mexican Fender Dimension and the Stingray was all that the Dimension wasn't in my opinion. Suitably woo'd and with too many basses (10) a new house and 5 basses tucked away in the loft I returned to Morecambe armed with 3 and a good offer on the price of the Ray from Gary the bass guy. Deal done I now have a very stunning Ltd. Ed. rosewood necked 3EQ Stingray to stand alongside Rita my orange Sterling. Dead chuffed. Compared with my ACGs she's a walk on the wild side, it good to have variety. I changed the strings to D'Addario nickels today. With DR Sunbeams they have to be my 'strings to go'. Here's a couple of photos of the Ray. All new in her stickers and scratch plate film.

Dazed Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That's tasty! Really like the headstock wood/ scratchplate combo. Congrats ! Quote

Bassman Sam Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Lovely looking neck. Great score. BTW, did you trade that Godin that you had up for sale? Quote
GreeneKing Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I did indeed. A lovely bass in itself with a great 'P' sound. Edited January 13, 2015 by GreeneKing Quote
