Totally unnecessary NBD

[dirgefornovember]

Been very content with my Squier 40th anniversary P and Warwick Corvette for quite a long time but had a sudden hankering for a Stingray that I just couldn't shake. Never tried one before and just loved that sound.

 

This Ray34 came up at a good price on Reverb, just a shade over £500 after some negotiation, and had to pull the trigger.

 

The colour is unbelievable. I love that blue sparkle, and the roasted maple neck is really smooth.

 

Not totally au fait with active basses but put it through my pedalboard with a Solidgold Beta V preamp and a Jam Pedals Rat and I'll need to do some serious tweaking, sounds wildly different to the setting I use for my P bass.

 

Now the conundrum of trying to justify having 3 basses around the house...

Tis a beautiful colour, offset nicely with the pearl pickguard. Yum.

Let me solve that one for you.

 

"I wanted it".

 

The end.

Do your other basses sparkle like some rare tropical fish ?

 

If not, well...

Great score at a fantastic price. I am somewhat green with envy.

Whatever you do don't tell SWMBO that she has more than 2 handbags or pairs of shoes.

Beautiful bass!  And justify what to whom? You already know you need wildly different settings on this therefore it's sufficiently differentiated from your other basses.

Super nice. I would have done the same. At that price, you need it.

[geoffbyrne]

Only three?

That's a stunner! 😍👌

Are not most NBDs totally unnecessary?  I know the majority of mine certainly are

Outstanding price
