New bass for me

[TSanders]

My first 2 band EBMM.

Mary Kaye 2 band with flats. This baby sounds huge and plays as well or better than any bass Ive ever owned. This one is right around 9 pounds or maybe less, I would guess.

 

[Big Poppa]

wow where did you hunt that one up?

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Marvellous! What a score!

 

[TheAntMan]

Its got 'Smooth Operator' written all over it!!!

Great Score, Congrats

wow where did you hunt that one up?

haha Pops, it came from our good buddy Rex (silverburst).

This bass has so many neat features; light weight, trans white "mary kaye" finish, 2 band, KILLER birdseye and according to Gavs database its one of 5 in this config.

Not too shabby for a 16 year old bass huh.

 

[MrMusashi]

im sure rex had to let that one go with a heavy heart!

Welcome to the Trans White club Travis

Congrats on your find. Beautiful bass...

We really do need to start a Trans White Club.


Very cool bass. Looks like mine except I have a 3 band and the origional tort-ish(?) pickguard. It has the most beautiful birdeye maple neck I've ever seen on a bass. I need to post some pics.

 

[CFA]

Wow... That is awesome. Congrats on that one!

Is the slight pinkish color just my eyes/the camera, or is it really there in person?

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Yes, they look slightly pinkish (hence, the Mary Kay name) with the wood grain showing up as a faint mauve.

 

[silverburst]

It is pretty much white. It is, without a doubt, one of the best sounding and playing basses I have owned. At 9 pounds, 1 ounce, it is also one of the lightest Stingrays I have owned.

I am glad it found a good home.

 

[TSanders]

Thanks for all the kind words folks.

Rex is right, this is one of the lightest Rays Ive ever owned, and Ive had quite a few.

I can now see what the appeal of the two band is. In a band setting last night, this bass sat just right in the mix.
