For Stingray Fans 2008 Ltd Edition heads up

[Gray]

Hi all,


Not for sale by me but spotted in a music shop in Huddersfield, West Yorks today.

Stingrays aren't my thing but this caught my eye and I thought some of you guys might be interested.

Very striking gold / black colour - single pickup.

I can recommend the shop as an honest place to deal with.

The bass is brand new in case etc (was still in plastic wrapping !). Apparently brought in for a guy who decided he didn't want a Stingray after all. Shop is after £1400.

Nice one - I thought there was only Dolphin Music and Guitar & Drum Centre in Hudds to choose from, must wing over once the snow thaws to have a looky.

hmm, do you mean like a dark to light gold burst? the outer edges are more root beer brown colour than black (i have one ) or if it's just black with gold hardware it's a 2006, though the inlay makes it fairly obvious! the finish on the 2008 LE is STUNNING though!

Hi - yep it was definately a 2008 LE (had a '2008' inlay on the 12th? fret)

Lovely colour - having just looked at your gear list is indeed the 'Sequoia Gold'.

Like I say 'Rays have never really been my thing, but this one made me go 'wow' - case was like a faux lizard skin as well.

Opulent I think is probably the word...

Any idea how many of the LE they actually made ?

Cheers
