Brams77 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Ok up for sale this gorgeous 1988 Stingray. Next to the P basses I have a soft spot for these they play great as I really dig their neckshape somehow. With the eq dialed a bit back I had very good use for these in all styles of music, that plus it's a slap monster;-) I have owned two late 70s stingrays before and had a newer one and a 5 string at some point. This one actually sounds identical to the early stingrays it has more lowend punch somehow. In 1988 these had some of the older pre eb features, trussrod nut at the headstock string mutes and a very similar EQ and alnico pickup. The bass has been played extensively there is wear to prove that, it is however 100% original no mods or routs, some fret wear but still very much playable and quite light around 4 kg! And then the neck has this awesome birdseye maple front and back, quite a sight;-) These are getting collectable I do want the amount I payed for this bass, it is however worth every penny and regarded as one of the better period of stingrays by people who know. Im not interested in trades guys I get so many trade requests it's silly Little clip: [MEDIA=soundcloud]soundcloud.com/bram-schoonderbeek/stingrayfinal[/MEDIA] Edited February 15, 2017 by Brams77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothem Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That's brilliant!! Got 2 1989 and I agree about the sound similarity to pre-EBs (although the strings-through-body will always be a touch more "muffled", less snappy). But modern days 'Rays are much brighter, at least to my ears. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
