NBD - Stingray in rare colour (well I've never seen one before in the UK)

Just picked up this 3eq Stingray in Autumn Redburst today......
Plays lovely and loving the disco sparkle colour scheme.

I believe that autum red burst was a standard colour but just for a short while, wich makes it more rare. Did you buy it from "pro music tools" ? They are pretty expensive....

That's a color I haven't seen yet. Beautiful! I really like the black pearloid pickguard on there, too. Nice upgrade over the basic black.

I have owned many, many basses in many, many finishes. That, for me, is the one that got away.

Always wanted one, never got one.

Nice score!

Yup its from ProMusic Tools. It was actually pretty cheap in my opinion. Theres still a white pickguard one in there for 500 euros more than this one was.
Mine worked out to about £1000 shipped which is only a bit more than you would pay privately for a slightly different colour than the standard ones in the UK. And the shop was really good to deal with.

Yup thats a pretty fair price you got. They often stock rare and discontinued colours on their musicman collection but in 90% of the cases they will charge you a good amount for that. Guess you got lucky! Congrats
