zander71 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Great Ernie Ball Stingray bass from 1996. Comes in a lovely cherry burst finish with a maple neck. All original and comes with original case. A couple of age related chips but nothing major. Case clasps have been replaced but all in all an amazing playing bass. Based near Glasgow.

AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Third stingray today I’ve wanted - would be the 6/7th time I’ve owned one... 1
songofthewind Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 That is very nice! I tell myself I can’t play a Stingray because of the nut width, but pix like that weaken my resolve... 1

Mine is such a petty reason, I sell them because I play exactly where the pickup sits and dig through the strings - the pole pieces tear my fingers up. I love the feel and sound of them - I literally just need to get a bartolini/Duncan/emg pickup... instead I throw a strop and sell them on. i think my old 94 has just come up for sale 🤦🏻♂️

I do have 2 other stingrays but i'm selling this as I'm buying another one and can't justify them all.
totorbass Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Very nice. btw looks more like honeyburst to me (which I prefer). Not very red for a cherry. Or did it fade a bit?
zander71 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Posted November 30, 2018 It may be honeyburst but I've seen so many varying descriptions and pictures over the years calling this finish both names.
tom1946 Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Yes it is, my favourite combination. hmmm, wonder if the wife is in a good mood today....
smokyflipps Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 If only there were some birds eye markings.....
