I stupidly sold it a few years ago and have regretted it pretty much everyday since. If I knew where it was now I'd do almost anything to get it back! It had one of the best maple necks I have ever seen.

Can't stop playing the damn thing [/quote] There are some droolworthy basses on this thread but these two are v special indeed. If anyone has one in either of these colours or peach that they want to sell, I'll be very interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sweet looking bass indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Here is the bass that made me sell my 1999 Teal SR4. 1989 (birth year - woohoo!) Stingray 4 - Trans red, clear pickguard, 2EQ, stunningly beautiful birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, plus Hipshot Detuner and Dunlop Straplocks added by me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) My old much-modded '79 pre-EB Stingray, which I parted company with in 1986 when I couldn't pay the rent one month. Regretted it ever since. If anyone knows of its whereabouts, I'd be keen to get it back... Edited April 30, 2012 by lowregisterhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Here's my 2001 'Ray - nicer looking than my 1994 (now with Sshorepunk) but somehow lacks something that the old girl had..this has a plain Maple neck as opposed to Bird's Eye on the '94, later 'Rays don't have the string dampeners and this lacks the Detuner, which I didn't use anyway..eevn so I find myself reminiscing for the '94..

Mine's an '89 model but I changed the guard for a white pearl one. I was just wondering, is that a hair-line crack in the body - or (hopefully) just a hair on the photo?!

I should also say my own SR5 is far from perfect with it's own share of digs and blemishes. As far as I'm concerned, it all adds to the mojo... I have a couple of digs at the bottom end and a black "stain" on the back... (possibly a result of years of wearing dark shirts at sweaty gigs!! ) [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgee/3366639585/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgee/3367462858/"][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
