This is basically a two-band StingRay, made in Indonesia, with a narrower neck than a standard StingRay, and a slab body (no belly or forearm contours).



Manufacturer's description:

[i]"Delivering old school looks for the vintage enthusiast, the finish is a hard glossy coat that exudes the vibe of an older instrument. Glossy amber tinted neck, a narrow 38mm nut width, 34” scale and 2-Band active preamp satisfy the original appeal of the StingRay Bass."[/i]

I purchased this bass new in December 2014 from GAK. They currently retail new for £759.

Full set of photos here: [url="http://imgur.com/a/yIqFO"]http://imgur.com/a/yIqFO[/url]

Unless noted below, anything which looks like it might be a scratch or ding in the photos is either a reflection of the light or it is wood grain. Please ask if any clarification is needed - happy to take more photos if needed.

Please note these cosmetic flaws:

1. There is a small amount of very light buckle rash - it was impossible to photograph, and only visible if you hold the bass up to the light and move it around slowly.

2. One tuner had a slight rattle, so I dabbed some superglue around the edge. The rattle stopped. It looks worse in this photo than in real life, as for the photo I have positioned the tuner so it is reflecting a dark surface; the superglue is not as reflective.



3. Upper horn has a small scratch.



4. Headstock has a very small ding.




Strings are D'Addario Chromes.

Digital bathroom scales show weight as 4.6 kg (10 lb 2 oz).

This is the cheapest entry point for a classic two-band StingRay bass with sunburst body, black pickguard, and maple fingerboard!
