2nd Stingray and counting

[Rano Bass]

Beautiful bass and a good example of the "Flea bridge".

Congrats!

Well Done...now, I will be the second to say it! TORT THAT BASS!

Also, that flea bridge looks phat!

+2...

My 75 J is natural ash and the first thing I did was tort it, so I thought it only fitting that this bass should receive the same treatment.

What is the best source for a replacement TORT pickguard, EBMM or a third party?

Cheers

GOOD MAN Andy, you lucky sod, that looks fantastic. They're likes buses aren't they? You wait ages for one, and two come at once!!

LOL I agree entirely Russ

I wasn't expecting something to turn up locally in such great condition either. I'm actually feeling quite spoilt/selfish.

I seriously hope this one lives up to the standard that the 30th anniversary model has set - I can't put it down. Amazing instrument!

How's your SR4 going?

Andy

 

[Spanky(Andy)]

That's a beauty! Bass centre get in some sick used Rays...You've scored well! Beautiful condition for its age!

Thanks Alma, I couldn't let it get away...

 

[Spanky(Andy)]

Spanky, your gonna be the second coming of Rik Darling!

LOL I can only dream of such lofty goals.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend has confirmed she will painfully remove my gonads and use them as earrings if I attempt to equal the great Ritchie

Cheers

Mines wicked mate, my number one bass now. I'm still not sure about strings yet, it's got Super Slinkys on it now, but they're still a bit bright, I'm hoping they'll go off in a while and lose some top end. I'm still thinking about some TI flats for it, but I'll stick with the slinkys for now.

Otherwise I love it to death, and I can't fault it at all, the build quality is top notch, and it just feels like it was made for me, so comfortable, best bass I've had in a long time, and a great partner for the jazz.

Nice looking bass. MM Basses are like Lays potato chips, you can't own just one!!!!!!!

 

[EBMM7181]

I do. I own only one.

That will change VERY soon, though!.........

 

[Dr Stankface]

What you talkin' about Billy? You don't own one.

Because I haven't seen pics of it in YOUR hands.

I better own one, I didn't send Pete all that $$$ for nothing!!!!

I do own one, its just not in my hands, Pete says it left SLO yesterday!

I do own ( IN MY HANDS ) some Wonder Wipes, and some stickers!

 

[Spanky(Andy)]

Congratulations, and damn you! I'm jealous. This will be my next one, but it's gonna be a while...

Wow, that SR5 is a looker - is that a standard production model or a limited edition?

Cheers

Andy, that's directly from the "build an instrument" feature on the site. SR5, black, black pg, fretless lined w/ matching headstock.. I don't own it, yet!

I do have the exact same bass in Honeyburst, and it is gorgeous. Once I whittle away at the credit card I used to pay for Honeyburst, I can order this one.
