Kongo Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Pink + Sandpaper = No longer pink. Y'know...if that's what's stopping ya.

[/quote] I've stripped finishes off two basses in the past and it's a surprisingly annoying job. It's not that I don't like pink, I just don't like [i]that[/i] pink.
solo4652 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 The ad. says it's "Burgandy". According to my dictionary, Burgundy is "a deep red colour". Makes you wonder what colour it really is. Anyway - is it still available? I'm tempted to ring them (since they're not responding to emails).
dub_junkie Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 the colour is called pearl lavender and was discontinued in around '02 . its close(ish) to Fender's burgandy mist. I have a Stingray 5 in the same.
solo4652 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Oooh ooh. I've just bought it for £695. Somebody please buy my Peavey Fury to redress the balance a bit. Steve
solo4652 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 It has now been removed from the shop's website, so you won't be able to see the glorious colour by clicking on the link above. Never mind - try to imagine a sort of cross between Lilac, Pink and Gentian (?) with a semi-spangly finish. Very understated. And, of course, rather rare. It arrives on Monday, so I'll see if I can find some sunglasses, then take some photos of it and post them under the "Porn" thread. I now have 3 days to draem up some sort of story to explain why I now have 4, not 3 basses.

steve-soar Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Well done, I love bargain moments like these, they seldom appear, so enjoy the bass.

Steve[/quote] Well done fella, bargain! i called them about that very bass about 5 ot 6 months back and I wanted to come and take it from the shop. They were having none of it, as they they don't do internet prices from the shop, Enjoy

RhysP Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Great price! That Stingray is an awesome colour - if it had a maple fingerboard I would have jumped on it myself.
