But I love it! Very John Deacon “Another One Bites the dust” I think that’s stunning in its simplicity; classic by name, classic by nature. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 There’s a nice natural Stingray Classic 5 on eBay at the moment but it’s rather expensive (same model in black was up at £1399 in PMT a few months ago) and something about the listing rings alarm bells. Not that I have room for another bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people's asking prices , as you say , are mental . Yeah - I’ve seen that too. About 4 months ago. It wasn’t shifting then either; some wild claim about it being the only natural one ever made, a “one off” - but the natural was a standard colour for the groove bass… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 They’re about 600 ish normally. Which for what they are, represent great value for money. I saw that Stingray, and others on EBay. Definitely some optimistic pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the sledge finish but probably more for the rosewood board. I wanted rosewood on mine when I was looking but there was none about at the time. Still none about now lol anyway no complaints, it’s such a sweet bass with some great settings on the 5 way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 That colour is amazing. Seen a few of those on talk bass selling fast. Reminds me of the trans blueburst maple necked Sabre hanging in one of the Glasgow music shops about twenty five years ago. I still think of that as one that got away. dr T’s Neptune blue is another blue Sabre that looks lush. black sabres always look great too.

There was an 88/89 in blueburst at the gallery for about 3 years…should’ve jumped on it. I keep an eye out for it…it’ll turn up - they always do.

MM Stingray 62 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I’ve just put a new pickguard on my stingray. But I thinking the original one still looks better to me what do you think.
