Natural colour stingray

[bassbara]

Is only the top of the body wich is made of ash (or alder) instead of all the body?

 

[Big Poppa]

Hey Barabra
the body is all ash. It is either one piece (very rare due to weight considerations) or two or three pieces. When I talk about pieces I am not talking about from the front to the back, but one piece is the upper horn or third of the body one is the middle where the bridge and pickup are and the third is the lower horn.

Are you dreaming of a new bass already? It seems to be contageous here.

I still am hurt over you voting for Jack over a youthful me!

ok it's what I thought... on an italian forum someone says that is only the top made of ash, and before answering I want to be sure.
thanks!!!
No I'm not dreaming another bass, I'm crazy for my orange sr5!!!

If I send you a little kiss, want you give me a smile?

ummmm

Question BP

>>>It is either one piece (very rare due to weight considerations) or two or three pieces.

Is that why? My 89 is 3 piece but I'd swear it's from the same piece of wood...as if it was cut 3 times for the heck of it!!! It's basically book-matched.

[Big Poppa]

Barbara, send a link to BP's response to the Italian forum.

We call it 'straight from the horses mouth'

(Not saying you look like a horse, BP...)

I am one lucky chap. From close examination this is a one-piece body which probably explains the weight.

I must check my Root Beer '80 SR4. That is also one heavy bass.

 

[dlloyd]

It's often difficult to tell. This is a two piece body...

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

I'm a lucky chap aswell

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

This is my 3 piece 1989. It was matched very well

holy cow, that is matched very well!

>>It's often difficult to tell....

It's easy really. Pick up the instrument and look at the body side on...on a level plane...where the rear strap button is. If it's a 2 or 3 piece, you'll see the grains run into (oppose) each other.
