Doesn't this belong to some on here's bass tutor?
Im sure i remember reading a thread on it.

yeah i started a thread on it last week or something.... iwtait's bass tutor did that to it

I did something similar to my KGB headless in 1990 and instantly regreted it.
This is a total abortion, made worse by the fact that he has gone through to the wood on the back of it. A complete refinish makes this bass worth £3-400.
What a tit.

+1000 - Basschat understatement of 2008 so far.

Very apt!

I reckon fair enough do that to your bass if its your true love and you have no intention of selling it.

He has basically just f***ed himself.

got to agree with SS What a tit indeed.

Looks very "reggae" to me, someone in a reggae band might see it and buy it

[Kev]

to be honest, i quite like it, i love quirky stuff, but there is no way in hell he will get anything greater than £450-£500 for it, you paint a stagg like that, not a bloody stingray!

Kind of reminds me of the "True men don't kill coyotes" video.

To be fair if the guy wanted maybe 300-400 for it i would be interested if i had the money, buy it and refinish it.

To be fair it is still a stingray 5 with piezo, a good quality instrument even if it's not aesthetically pleasing to most people. I think it's still worth £500-£600 for what it is. And all the hardware seems to be in fine condition despite the 'custom paintwork' on the body.

yeah, it was my old bass teacher. i agree its absolutely foul, and definatly not worth the money, but lets not insult him guys.
