[kdsi44]

HEY GUYS, I JUST PICKED UP A STINGRAY....SERIAL IS B04420 ....WHITE, 2 BAND EQ....BORN ON 11/04/96...APPARENTLY ITS A PRETTY RARE 'RAY....WHITE ON WHITE STINGRAY ...I WANT TO CHANGE THE PICKGUARD...IM THINKING MINT GREEN, TORT, OR BLACK....TIME TO VOTE!!!

I hate to burst your bubble, but rare? Not a bit. Nice bass though!

 

[cgworkman]

I'd keep the white. Or get a Pearloid white one.

Well Jon, According To Gav's Database....it Shows That There Are Not Many Of The B + 5 Digits Serial Numbers....he Claims That They Are Somewhat Rare...can You Maybe Give Me Some History Behind It...

Mint sounds nice. Then black.

Not mentioned deep purple would look nice as well.

Gavs datbase is info that is sent to him, and would not reflect how many of these bases were made, only how many people who own them send their info to him. It is not a rare bass.

another vote for tort - doesn't have to be rare to be nice. enjoy

Diamond plate the entire face of the body
Very rare - only one other I'm aware of

To clear up the "rare" question somewhat, I think - a white on white Stingray with rosewood board is not rare by any means.

An Ernie Ball-era Stingray with a "B" prefix is seldom seen.

Thank you, thank you, I've been here all week.

And - another vote for tort.

 

[kdsi44]

Thanks For Clearing That Up Bovine....i Knew You Would Come In Handy One Of These Days!!! :d

RED tort, not brown tort.
