Rowbee Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Finally got around to taking a couple of pics! The first Sterling is one I've had since 2001 and I think the colour is blue pearl and I replaced the original black pick guard with an abalone one I recently bought from Dasbootman on Ebay. The second is a Sterling I recently bought from Shockwave here on the forum. It's a very strange but beautiful purple\burgundy colour and I replaced the vintage white pearloid pickguard with a black pearloid one, again purchased from Dasbootman. They're both strung with DR Black Beauties and going through my new (to me) Aguilar GS 112 and 112NT cabs I bought last week from Legion here on the forum - The iAmp800 was bought from Anthomp very recently too.

Rowbee Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Very, very nice! I recognise that door - wasn't there a picture going around with a G&L in front of it? Quote
bassfan Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Some very nice looking Ray's on here guys.... I am after a blue one... anyone got one for sale.?? Quote

ahpook Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) finally dug up a (very old !) pic of my 1979/80 sabre Edited March 17, 2009 by ahpook Quote
Rowbee Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 That blueburst one look pretty special! Seeing that Sabre makes me think they've kind of gone full circle now with the HH models. Quote

cgordonfreeman Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Here's my contribution, a 04 White Bongo 5HH. Rare as hens teeth according to folk on the MM forums. photobucket.com/cgordonfreemanbongo Quote
budget bassist Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Lovely bass, and yeah they are VERY rare. Get one of the new orange swirl pickguards on that baby, that would look sweet! pic btw: Quote
HeavyJay Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 My latest one: Trans teal formerly with black scratchplate, changed to white by me. My first one: Both of them are '96 ones but the trans teal has a plastic battery compartment compared to the metal screwed in cover that the black one has. The trans teal is massively lighter too.

They used to use prettier grained woods on the trans finish rays. Not sure if they still do or not. Quote
