Mine's a 2003 5 in white (standard nut) I think the white and the black ones were the nicest looking ones. The white ones in particular. I even like the textured finish.

Great basses indeed. Frank Edited September 6, 2018 by machinehead Punctuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golats Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks everyone, I'm learning a lot about SUBs and Stingrays here! I've always loved the look of a Stingray but could never afford one. When I brought the SUB into the house my wife said it was horrible and it looked "contrived" I tried to convince her it's a design classic but she's not having it.

Well they certainly seem to have a fan base and are well known for being a good quality bass. Actually just in case they become a collectable and prices sky rocket I best just leave it alone haha. Actually looking at it I like it as is. Or I could send it to the guitar improver guy on eBay for some mods. Have a mismatched artec hotrail placed cockeyed in the pu cavity and some sort of three string conversion 😉 Hahahaha. You mean the guy who ''makes'' wide necked guitars for chubby fingers ?

And I shall let him hack the compensated nut to nothing with a junior saw. "To aid fretting in the first few positions" as he would say. Actually nothing against the guy. But why doesn't he buy more suitable tools, And do more sensible modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
