Check out what arrived today for me! I had to clean it up a little and the hardware is a little tarnished (i'll work on that later) but the finish is absolutely stunning, if somewhat difficult to photograph and it plays and sounds superb!! In fact the case itself is a work of art!
Without further ado (and please, bear with my amateur-ness), pics:

I'm a happy bunny

You better be! Now, play it and tell me that the HH is not the best StingRay config.

BTW, where did you find that beauty?

Yes, real beauty!

haha thanks, i'm LOVING the HH config over the single H on my old SUB, so much more tonal variation, it's great!

And i acquired it in a trade on a certain UK bass forum

Don't you dare sell this one for a 'you-know-what'

Gorgeous, I'm very happy for you.

thanks man

the only way this is going anywhere is for a bongo or a sterling

changed those nasty rotos for a set of old regular slinkies i had lying around, much better!

My favorite EBMM finish. If I ever see one for sale at a good price, and the timing is right, I'm picking one up. Congrats man!

Congrats on a killer finish, and PLEASE take care of her better than her previous owner.

That bass is about a year old, and shouldn't need that much cleanup.

yeah tell me about it, i'm going to have to strip the neck down and re-oil it soon, it's not the cleanest. Luckily the hardware is looking better, but i think gold tends to oxidise a lot faster than chrome, so i may just keep it in the case rather than on a hanger like i was going to
