Status Stingray

[cd_david]

Hello

I bought this off Doctor of the Bass, Nick, Who bought it off Crazykiwi. Its been in this section when i got it but i have put in an East MM 2 band circuit and had it sprayed black by the GENIUS that is Dave Wilson.

It is the best finish i have ever seen in my life, its like a mirror and to consider there were ferrules on the back and a side mounted jack and there is no trace
what so ever.

Hope you like it

Before







AFTER!

that's beautiful

I have to say that looks a superb job and with all due respect to how it looked before, the all-black look is so much better.

Excellent. Looks just like a Cutlass. A sort of Statlass.

[BassBod]

Very nice - proper job. Bet it sounds even better now.....

[BassBus]

She's certainly very sexy dressed in black. Mmmm!

[budget bassist]

Very nice! Get some black knobs for that sucker!

Didn't the cutlass' have status necks anyway?

That is truely gorgeous. Currently resisting the temptation to 'Status' my Ray.........

Beautiful, like it better than that one time limited NAMM edition (Stingray with original Status neck)...

Wahey!!!

That looks great! The original finish was superb but there's something about black! I bought it off of Tombboy who I think bought it off Kiwi! The Cutlass basses had Modulus necks - Status did however produce necks for the Namm 100th anniversary basses as noted. I've just taken delivery of my `Ernie Ball' endorsement bass, a four string unlined fretless StingRay with a very tasty ash body (3-tone sunburst, black plate) which looks very similar to Pino's famous fretless! Problem is it has turned up 3 months early....! (still have to pay for it even with the endorsement!). Will try and get some pics up soon! My Dad saw and played it today and insists its the `best looking and sounding bass you've [I've!] ever had!

Chears!
