Stingray Classic 4 String – Sea Foam /Mint Green(ish)– Professionally Reliced and Scalloped Frets

No Trades

 

 

 A Stingray Classic 4 String in a lovely sea foam  / mint green (type) finish.

 

Nice birdseye maple neck.

 

Comes with MM hardcase.

 

Good overall condition, a few bumps and scrapes here and there, the only thing worth of a mention in my mind is the dink on the top of the 3rd fret - see photo.

 

The previous owner of the bass commissioned some relicing and for the upper frets on the higher strings to be scalloped like a Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude.

 

Unusual, and admittedly not for everyone, but this has been done to a high standard.

It's a real looker!  What is the benefit of the scalloped frets?

 

And is the relicing limited to just those two edges on the front?

Yes to just those 2 areas. 

 

Scalloped frets benefits, with a nod to Billy Sheehan, are.... Scalloped Fretboards give players a unique way to express their playing beyond a regular fretboard. The main benefits are improved note clarity and separation, less pressure on the left hand, and the possibility of achieving microtonal bends by pressing down harder. 

Subjectively it does help me with speed and fluency in the scalloped area.

I've just parted with my most recent Ray...I really don't get on with them.

Even though I know this I'm really tempted.

 

Martyn's a great person to deal with.  Top fella with top gear. Trade with confidence.

I hate Brexit. 

[Henrythe8]

... And I still hate Brexit. This is very appealing. 

No one is planning to travel to Northern France ? 

[Chewie]

That scalloping............!!!

 

[Henrythe8]

I suppose that with Christmas coming, there will be people travelling to France to get some wine ? 
That would be able to get a bass to me ? 
No ?
