wmsheep Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ewww!! There again, I think the important line in the description is Model: StingRay 5 Size: 13-3/8" wide, 1-3/4" thick, 45-3/4" long (34.0 cm wide, 4.5 cm thick, 116.2 cm long) [b][color="#FF0000"][size=5]Weight: 10 lbs (4.54 kg) - varies slightly[/size][/color][/b] Body Wood: Ash and so on... Just how does he manage to get the weight of the thing to change?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I really like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) My eyebrows did rise slightly when I read in the description that it was a year old. Surely if someone's going to do something like that, they could buy that £30 Stagg musicman copy that someone was selling and paint away.

When I saw it was £30, I wondered about getting it and doing weird things to it like letting my 9 year old paint it. But I have no car and I'd guess that those tiny quaint looking buses that go to Ruby would take quite some time for a round trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hi there Can I offer you £500 for this bass? I think £700 is about the right price for a Stingray in the current climate and a refinish will cost around £200.
