Scored a 30th!! WOW one of my 'dream' basses!

[pudgychef]

Super happy to have come across a used 30th SR4 today at L&M in Toronto.

I had sort of figured I would be S.O.L to find a used one up here in the Great White North with the rarity and all....but here it is!


Just so happy to have a 'Ray again...(been almost 2 years.... ) and for it to be this one makes is REALLY special...will take and post pics tonight.

Now just to find that 4H Dargie SR w matching headstock....although the dream list may have expanded by one when I saw those light green Classic Series 'Rays.....the GAS shudder that racked my frame when i saw those just about put me in the hospital!!

There was one in Capsule Music downtown a few months ago as well. The Crimson Red is much nicer in person.

Got to play it for a minute or two and snapped a few pics....head over heels right now

off to the my tech tomorrow for set-up and preferred strings...as gorgeous as it is, it sure feels like a player.....

BP and gang....this thing is stunning, thanks for caring!

Welcome to the club. You know, BP has opined that the 30th is the best stingray ever made. Using flats or round wounds?

 

[ivbenaplayin]

congrats! it looks to be in excellent shape, and regarless of the looks, all EBMM's are players - even if they're hangin' on the wall

I have a feeling its the same one.

It had flats on it.

Congrats from Germany

Congratulations - very nice bass

Those are truly special basses. Of all the Stingrays I own, nothing has tracked like my 30th. The fat round bass it has just resonates in the studio.

Congrats on a great score!

Nice find! I'd never been much into Stingrays before, but my 30th changed all that.

 

[syciprider]

30ths are gorgeous

 

[oli@bass]

Congratulations, and welcome to the best sounding StingRay

 

[pudgychef]

It had flats on it.

oh...well this had some old beat GHS rounds on it...maybe 2 in the GTA for sale? Impressive.

thanks!

I set it up initially with GHS Brite Flats...but it really made some issues on the E string 10th fret and up jump out so I re-did it with DR Black Beauties which seemed to help.

Going back to the shop today...my tech thinks the previous owner messed with/messed up the neck/frets/fingerboard or something up in that area as the rest of the bass and every other spot plays like a bell! But those notes sound like a high C# on cheap F**der. I am CERTAIN its a previous owner issue as even a dolt like me can recognize the insane level of build quality on these....I mean regular rays are incredible...this just feels a little more incredible???

Killer bass though and going to be well worth the time sorting that SMALL concern out...I will report back!
