    I have been inspired!

    After recently viewing the thread of Stanky recieving Heinz, and a recent crapout of my Trans Gold Stingray 5's preamp, and it just not treating me as kindly as the other SR5's I have owned. I have decided to put Goldie into retirement and that I too want a Heinz, So anyone that knows of the wherabouts of any of the infamous Trans-Green Stingray 5's. Please let me know, Would prefer maple, but as they are rare it will not be an issue. Also recently saw a Trans-White finish i was quite fond of. Is there a way to search dealers if they have any of the beloved Heinz's left?
    Thanks a million!

    Check ebay periodically. You can always call a dealer and tell them you're looking for one and see what they have to say.

    Hate to say it but he's right.

    No word on a trans green yet. I'll do an extensive search in a bit.

    All I can do is wish you luck.

    In the last five years, I've seen only a handful - maybe six or seven - of these trans-green basses.
