Hello everyone,
I posted about 11 months ago stating that I was going bonkers while waiting for my first Stingray 5 to arrive. Sorry for not posting sooner; I was practicing.
I am not kidding 5 hours a day, everyday.
Anyway, love my bass however, I found the almost stingray 5 of my dreams at a music store (ray 5 piezo in trans blue). I want my next bass to have piezo and I also want it fretless. This one is fretted. Would it be possible to send it back in to Ernie Ball and have them replace the neck with a pau ferro one? Also,even though the matching headstock is not always appealing to me, this one looks soooo pretty with it. Would it then be possible to get it with a matching headstock even though the color is no longer used on stingrays?
If it is disturbing that someone would replace a perfectly good neck, I could always attempt to remove the frets myself first, then send it back with a damaged neck with an excuse to replace it.
Since I am asking, the Trans blue is a second choice color, I just love the trans. finishes and my first choice is the discontinued trans green, which I found one but it is fretted and no piezo and I understand that the peizo cannot be done as a retro-fit. Would it be possible to custom order a bass that had a discontinued color or would I be stuck choosing from the colors available?
Just a thought. I really want a bass with piezo pick-ups.
Thanks,
K.
