Getting a 3rd ball again

[DTG]

I have moaned and cried about selling my very first stingray....so much that my wife does not let talk about it anymore....then last week on ebay up it popped,the very one,my old bass,deep scratch under the control pot and all.

i am driving 200 miles to pick it up today !!!!

i am so trilled to get this bass back with me again.

Great news! And stunning bass too I might add (maybe you could introduce us...you know, big me up a big first)

I can imagine how sweet that drive home will be with your old friend on board. I love a good bass/guitar reunion story. Well done.

Very nice DTG! I am down to three right now and often miss the ones that parted ways with along the way. There is always something to be said about the old school big bridge. Very nice. JOSH

i got her about 2 hours ago and cant stop playing,some really nice birds eye on her neck and on the fret board !! i forgot just how good the 2 band eq was,oh man.

i sold this bass just after my mum died of cancer,when my head was a bit messed up.i had moved city and left my old band behind and was missing them both.the day after i sold it i knew i had made a huge mistake.this bass had played every gig with me for about 6 years.then last week i was taking my son to hospital (good news there is he does not need an operation now !!) and while feeding him breakfast at 5 am i check ebay and up it poped,i just had to have her back

i will post a few better pics 2mo.oh and i took off the battery plate and on the back of it is my name and old phone number in black marker,just where i put it years ago.....happy boy today

Nice end to a sad story! I am a firm believer in "Things happen for a reason" . I guess the reason is to make sure you appreciate what you got...when you got it !! Enjoy that beautiful bass even more now...because now you know !!!

Congrats on getting your bass back. Such a looker, too!

honeyburst 2-band with maple is just about *it* as far as I'm concerned.

Are you serious....the very SAME one???? Wow if thats the case.

I recently bought back my Stingray....exact one....that I traded in to a local music store a little over two years ago. They had it over priced, but knock off $150 since they were able to verify I was the original owner....Now she's mine again!!!!


Congrats Bro!!!!!!!!!!
