I can’t pretend to understand…but I can bloody admire.

My current 3.

1975 Rickenbacker 4001, a 1969 Fender Precision and a 1980 Musicman Sabre.

Oof, that's a nice trio you got there.

Description

[MM Stingray 62]

My current Stingray collection.

 

[Peejay]

Go on then, which are your top five? And why?

Nice collection regardless.

[MM Stingray 62]

That’s hard but if I had to pick five it would probably be

NAMM 100 graphite neck plays beautifully.

78 Pre Ernie Ball 2 band EQ and the tone 

2018 natural special weight and effortless to play 

PDN Neptune Blue sounds fantastic and has the nicest neck out of all my Rays

Charcoal sparkle purely because of the different tones I can get from it.

These two are becoming my go-to.. they cover pretty much everything and couldn't be less alike!

Just come back from a couple of days in Cornwall, popped into Trago at Liskeard whilst we were there and came out with this, I didn't need it, it was so cheap I couldn't leave it there. Just finished fitting the obligatory ship's cables...
