FT: Stealth Bongo > EB Stingray

[shamus63]

Okay, I've finally gotten over the reluctance of putting up my beloved Bongo HSc fretted-4 up for trade...but dammit, I want a Stingray!

Besides, with me buying a single-H B4 in a couple of months, I think I'll survive the two month lapse for the sake of securing a Ray.

Anyway, the Bongo is two months old, and is about as mint as you can get w/out calling it 'mint'. The OHSC has a crack at the bottom, but does not affect the ability to close and latch properly.

Comes with three pickguards: Black Ice, White Ice, and stock Black. Also installed are a set of Fender pull-style strap-locks.

Looking for a fretted-4 Ray in close-to-comparable condition. The only stipulations are:

*No pre-EB's
*No Smoke/Gray/Silver finishes
*Lower 48 US trades only
*No neck repairs/mods or beater basses

Here's a couple of shots from when I first got the Bongo back in late September:

If interested, holler back here or through P.M.

Thanks!
James

Oh this is tempting. Now that I may get a HH SR4 I'm going to have a bit of redundancy.

Hey Shamus, did my video give you G.A.S. for a Stingray 4 ?

Yeah...ya Inland Empire-livin' Stingray-totin' sunsabich!

And (really) you can't argue their cool factor.

Too bad you don't want a Sterling.......I gots a perty 2005 trans-red that I'd let go.

Thanks for the offer, though!

Got a deal going with a fellow EBF'r/DP'r (hint/hint)...details to be worked out soon.

How's this for a nice trade!

That 2bander is pretty slutty, I might get it tested before you really fall in love with it

I personaly think "Bongos" are bananas....one of the ugleist basses I have ever seen. I have owned stingrays and am currently negotiating a deal right now for a honey burst Ray.

 

[Oldtoe]

Thanks! That means more for the rest of us who know what superb instruments they are.

Making friends at christmas time, are we?

You may think what you want, as long as you remember you are wrong

+1! I'm going to have the best of both worlds in the next couple of months or so, when I order my single-H B4.

No matter which EBMM...they're still EBMM!

And you can't go wrong at all there!

Ducking all the remarks...(however light they may be)....well the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...cept that writer had an ugly wife!! LOL... The new stingray will look good next to my Ric....
