gafbass02 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I really do need to own less guitars/basses, it's getting silly! This is the 2002 stingray that I turned into a 'Geddy Ray' [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/D8A8CEF5-69A5-424B-8CB8-778487EB8CC5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/D8A8CEF5-69A5-424B-8CB8-778487EB8CC5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I had the hardware professionally plated gold (expensive!) and resprayed the headstock black with a gold logo. The lightly sanded neck is smooth as silk and it plays fantastically well; and sounds, like a two band stingray !

It's also the most forgiving to play and the neck doesn't feel so massive as some. [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/765B6998-9D14-4261-B011-5C57E2B3A248.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/765B6998-9D14-4261-B011-5C57E2B3A248.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The bass is far from mint, there are signs of use all over, especially on the back, which has scratches. There is a chunk of finish that popped off and had to be reattached by the neck join. (I've had that on Ray's a few times?!!)

Set up well with fresh strings, polished frets and nourished neck.

The neck inlay blocks are removable!

(not black and four strings only!) My tastes are limited however. I mainly like jazz's, 'coffee table' stuff, status, Warwicks. I'm in Cheltenham and would much prefer collection, as shipping could be expensive and risky and awkward to arrange. I'm afraid I would charge full shipping costs. £700 Ono.
