Phill Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Just took ownership of this lovely bass. Sounds like a classic Stingray but with the extra string! Little bit heavy, but manageable for me. Been after one for a while & got offered one from a private stock in January 2022 Got a session coming up on Thursday so I'm going to take it along p.s. It matches my fretless 4 perfectly! Edited January 25, 2022 by Phill 13 Quote
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Very nice. I do like a natural Stingray with a black pickguard 1 Quote
40hz Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Lovely stuff. I can hear exactly what that sounds like just by looking at it! 1 Quote

NickA Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 That fretless is rather nice too 🙂 Natural stingrays = my favourite kind. 1 Quote

Musicman20 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I bought the exact same model of bass in that finish when they were still manufacturing them, and to this day it is STILL the best bass guitar I have ever played. Sound, feel, quality - it is perfection. I hope I never have to part with it. It also looks absolutely stunning. Great bass! 1 Quote
drTStingray Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Very very nice - lovely Classic 5 there. (Love the fretless as well) 1 Quote
Guest Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 I’ve nearly bought a classic 5 a few times but haven’t, mainly because I play mainly seated and the lack of a forearm contour puts me off. Some of those pastel finishes like coral and mint are just lush but oh so rare over here… Quote
