20230120_181907.thumb.jpg.d00063b43892d35f768429fc0f39bb89.jpgSwapped out the neck on two of my Sabres. Sledge is wearing a new pickguards.com

black abalone guard as well as the maple neck. The natural is now the same as the Sabre I owned for a while and then stupidly sold a long,long time ago.

Probably keep them like this for a while...

Both very nice indeed I think I preferred the natural one with the maple neck. But saying that the both look great. I must get myself a Sabre on day instead of buying another stingray.

I'm the same with the Sabres though I am looking at a StingRay Special as my next MusicMan hopefully.

My sunburst Sabre is now wearing flats with the mutes doing their thing. On the P bass setting it sounds great so that bass is staying that way.

I’m not sure if I have posted mine on here.

 

This is my 2000 Stingray, I have had this about 6 years now. I have mixed feelings about this bass, it plays so well and just feels so comfortable, but I have never been thrilled by the colour. I just can’t seem to bring myself to sell or trade it for fear of not getting another quite so good.

A black plate and pickup cover would make it all better 😉.

Never thought about black on it, off to google to find an example.

 

I have a Pearl white which I always pair with a black pickup cover when I fancy a change.

Usually I agree with @Deedee, that's why my Stingray is his (one of) old Stingray.

However, I really like the colours just as they and I don't say that about many Ray's without maple boards!

It's a cool lookin' bat!

I must point out that I believe sticking a black plate on improves the look of most basses, although when black’s too much, a minty green one could be the answer.

 

This was mine 😍

I think an aged pearl one would work really well. I had a tortoise one on my classic and changed it for the aged pearl. It completely changed the look of the bass for the better in my opinion.

Actually, I think that I prefer the tort on that!

It's been a while since I posted here so thought I'd pop this pic of me 'n' my '89 Ray5 at a recent festival gig. Bought in '97, it's been my main go-to bass ever since. All original apart from the white pearl plate.

Yeah, it's weightier than a modern Ray -- about 10.5 lbs -- but it's not really a problem. Ask me again when I'm the other side of 70! 👍🤠👍
