30th Anniversary and Ivory White Classic pics!

[permafunk]

I was taking pictures of my 30th Anniversary Stingray since I'm about to sell it (bought a Classic, and I can't keep both), and they turned out so well I thought I'd share them. I had never seen pictures of this bass that show its true beauty. Why is the 30th priced so low in the used market? Seriously, these pictures made me reconsider selling this bass... but I like the Classic better regarding playability and sound. I found the neck radius to be very comfortable for my hands, the thinner frets make it so easy to play, and I prefer the 2-band EQ.

Awesome shots. I'd love to have a Classic to go with my 30th.

If you can keep both, definitely try to. The 30th is a great bass...and will eventually be a collector like the 20th is. I have a friends 30th stored here, and it's a nice player.

As far as used prices, depends on how flooded the market is. When I sold mine I waited until there weren't any others for sale, and was able to get top dollar.

Great pics! If you can manage it keep that 30th...

No, I don't want a white pup cover on my white/white/maple EB Ray...

The grain in the wood on the 30ith is stunning!

Wow, that is a very nice 30th. I keep on coming back to this thread to look at the picks.

the 30ths finish seem to mature in a very nice way.. gets more defined as time goes by. its like the contrasts increase and the dark stripes in the mahogany and the birds eyes stand out more!

if you can, keep it.. its a dang nice bass!

Great shots, thanks for sharing! And yes, that's a nice looking 30th.

Every SR is sacred
Every SR is great
If an SR is wasted
BP gets quite irate

I just picked up a 30th here on the forum. Gorgeous. Plays very nicely. Put EB flats on her.

I'm finding it really had to part with, so I'll keep it for now. It feels wrong to sell something sacred

Wise man... I think you would have desperately regretted it at some time. That thing is simply sick in very positive way.

 

[permafunk]

Yeah, I decided to hold on to it and sell some other stuff... I know this bass is not going to lose its value. If anything, it can go up, and I know I would have regretted it sooner or later.

Good call. Is that body mahogany?
