I was sitting at home a couple of weeks ago - this is really my job now, sitting at home. The pay is terrible as are the hours but I have to admit that it's pretty easy.

Some dude to my north posted this AS I WAS WATCHING FB MARKETPLACE so maybe it was a sign from the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He was desperate for some new guitar amplifier and was willing to part with this impressively yellow Stingray. I looked around. Did I have a four string Stingray? I couldn't find one, even hidden in one of the hundreds of cases infesting the guest room closet. I guess I didn't have one. And that, I said to myself, is just not right.

I said, "I will buy that if you'll bring it to me on your way to Austin to waste your money on a guitar amp." And that's exactly what he said he would do, and he did.

My teenager and I looked at it for a while. Changed the old roundwounds to Cobalt Flats. Cleaned the fretboard and whatnot. With a little work, which is all I'm good for these days, it turned out to be a perfectly good bass. But that black pickguard? BEAUX-RING. Unable to make a decision, I ordered a green one, thinking it would be very forest-y (it was not) and the eyeball pickguard, which I thought was probably the better look (it is, it is, I don't care what you say).

Cheers!

Since you don't care what I say I will say nothing🙂
 
Nice score - that's "HD Yeller" right? I always keep my eyes (no pun intended) peeled for one of them myself. Congrats on the new job and bass! Its subtle as a hammer.
 
Attitude!

I like it. Maybe, just maybe it could do with some dings and scratches, the punk rock pub gig kind of wear. Add some stickers from unknown scandinavian breweries while you are at it.
