Jimryan Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Price drop to £550 Morning all, Up for sale is my "blingray". It started as a black Sterling SUB and I've modded it beyond recognition. I finished the project in the summer last year and since then it's only been used 4 times (2 rehearsals and 2 gigs). These days I play upright mostly and can't justify such an expensive ornament. The mods are as follows... Sterling ball stingray body, stripped and refinished in blue metal flake, Custom status graphite carbon fibre neck, with blue tint, Delano FE musicman pickup (wired parallel), John East 2 band active preamp, Hipshot Lic ultralite tuners, Hitshot detuner/extender, Schaller straploks, Aftermarket white pearl guard. With the sale I'll include a gigbag, stand and a box of PP3 batteries (not going to need them anymore) and an SKB bass safe. Whilst collection is preferred, with a gigbag and bass safe I'll post if buyer is willing to pay for a courier. Based in Portsmouth Cheers, James [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0001_zpszvcmv2yg.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0001_zpszvcmv2yg.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0003_zps4sihlsir.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0003_zps4sihlsir.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0004_zps17wartvq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0004_zps17wartvq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpslmq6klsd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpslmq6klsd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsnpwmfclq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsnpwmfclq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxhjq5h9s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsxhjq5h9s.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/jimryan88/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3odmonvw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii527/jimryan88/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3odmonvw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited May 16, 2016 by Jimryan
happynoj Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Where did you get the paint done? I'm interested in something similar.

Deedee Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 That's stunning. GLWTS but I'm sure you won't need it.
Jimryan Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 For anyone interested,here's the build thread it did whilst making it... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/255440-finally-finished-stingray-refinish/
karlfer Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Lovely bass and lovely job! Awful lot of work went into this, reading the build thread. Good luck, it's stunning.

TheGreek Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Not a big fan of the sparkly finish personally but I can't believe that a MM Ray with a Status neck no less, is still here for £600!! Yes it's a less desirable SUB but other than the actual body it's virtually a completely different bass...if I didn't have so many basses.. Complete madness...The world must be coming to an end!!
