Okay, so you don't have to click it, here it is:
"Music Man Stingray Bass from the early 90's in Beautiful condition! Features the 3 band EQ. If you wanted one back in the 80's or 90's but couldn't afford it and are now in the market for one this is the one for you. Ebay is flooded with the newer stingrays but the company has been cutting corners in quality and production for a while now. Not only is this one in such nice shape but take note of the bridge for example, they aren't making them like this anymore. This one FEELS and PLAYS and SOUNDS the way a Stingray should. The new Stingrays you find today are just a superficial shadow of what they used to be. You will be pleased with this one! Comes with a hard shell case."
Do you think I have issues with this freaking idiot?
1. "Cutting corners in quality and production for a while now." Yeah, those of us who have been in the factory certainly saw THAT, didn't we?
2. "Take note of the bridge...they aren't making them like this anymore." Uh huh, because you might accidentally perform hand surgery on yourself with that bridge, perhaps?
3. "The new Stingrays you find today are just a superficial shadow of what they used to be." As is your brain, podner.
4. "You will be pleased with this one." Okay, that MAY actually be true.
I'm very tempted to "ask seller a question" but it isn't really worth it - is it?

'Just out of curiousity, what are the better qualities that this era bass has over the newer ones? Thanks, shamus63'
