Can't believe how much has changed in a few short months!

I still have the black sparkle 4 string....but the others are now all different.

Kee-ripes man! Bovi , you certainly are a nutter! Beautiful collection you've had and the BurntApple burst(?)SR5 is now in the fold right?? wow, well hopefully by weeks end I'll finally have a pic of my one and only along with the rarest of the rare "Bronze" StingRay... can you handle the suspense?? I think you all will be amazed... or atleast somewhat intrigued... or then again maybe not....

Jack's MM collection

Jack,

What year was that on on the far left? Looks real nice. I still want an old Ray like that. There's something about that old maple fretboard that I really like on those.

Those older Rays are soooo expensive to get your hands on.

Very nice Tony....2 rare birds.

Now....I know another bloke up near the North Pole by the name of Tony who has 2 Basses....exactly like that....and would you believe his garden is exactly like yours...weeds and all....talk about coincidence...

[Rod Trussbroken]

As I said JJ, nice Bass.

 

[bovinehost]

I do love those natural finishes, especially with rosewood. Great photos, too! Love the 'action' shots.

Why did it take so long for you to get it?

 

[Jazzy J]

First there were too many orders than they could process, and then there was a shortage of high-figured ash (which is the wood used on natural finished basses).

um...sorry couldn't be bothered to rotate it...here



and one of it being used..and slightly abused..

Hey SimpleGav, do you live anywhere near Newtown?? That's the only place I've been to in Wales and as for your question "pub?" ... I learned what a lock-in was my first night there. Of the two and a half weeks prior that I spent through out England and drank at pubs every day, it wasn't until I got to Wales that I got a hang over!!
Nice StingRay BTW.


cheers!

 

[Simple Gav]

i live about 4 hours away from Newtown. basically newtown = north wales and where i am = south wales!
yeah, Wales is generally full of beer drinkers, but u gotta work hard to get allowed into lock ins. well down here u have n e way...

yeah i like my SR too got a bit of money for my 18th, so basically i paid half and my rents paid half. (i do work in a music store tho so i got it trade + VAT ) yeah it'll be 2 years old in Feb. i've given it a fair beating as well

 

[Psychicpet]

re: lock in ... I was there with a former local so that got me in
but I think it was the cider that got me all wrong...

cheers!

 

[Simple Gav]

cider = laughing juice!

 

[Fretbuzz]

Ah, jeez, my favorite changes every few days. But hey, for the last two or three days, this one's been my baby:

It's so HARD to pick a favorite.

The 5-String looks really nice!!

My bass...

 

[Masamax]

Here are a couple basses belonging to my instuctor...

Here is a very strange SR!

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Loooooovely pics Masamax.....

Why was the other one modified????

 

[Jazzy J]

I have this strange feeling that your instructor's left handed... I don't know why, but I do...

 

[Masamax]

Yes, he is left handed! Helps cause our necks are like 3 feet away when we are playing and I can really see what he is playing. BTW, the SR4 you are looking at is a '79. It is very odd however.

-Had 2 J pups installed in factory.
-Has a switch (not standard for SRs as far as I know!)
-Has been sanded down for curves (He couldn't stand slab... sigh)

The bass has had 2 owners. The first says the two pups were factory installed. My instructor got it with a couple of EMGs, but he installed Barts in there and rerouted the electronics a little turning the switch into an on/off switch. I have no idea what it did before. It has new tuning pegs on it installed by the previous owner as well.
