Help! Stingray 5 bfr lost by post?

[TheAntMan]

I got it! Its a gorgous looking new condition Instrument! It is very light and will be a pleasure to play after a little string setup.

I had to go back to work after picking it up from customs but everything went fine, nothing was broken on its odysee. I wish i had an A to tune to around, but this will have to wait.

I will take some pictures of my happy face together with the bass later and load em up.

Thanks to everyone for the support!! You are great and it is a pleasure to be here!

Congrats!!!

I had a co-worker who ordered a bass and when he got it the neck was broken...yikes!!!

Glad things worked out.

BTW, in the US the dial tone on a phone is an A...in the old days I've used that for a quick/temp tune up. Not sure if the same is true in your neck of the woods.

Enjoy your new baby

Great news!

Alright, there's a weight off my shoulders. Glad you finally got it and a small truss adjustment should take care of the string height for you as humidity in Germany is usually much higher than on the Canadian prairie. She's a beauty, and I hope you enjoy her. Now I can crow about the Stingray that should be arriving here today, without feeling bad.

The epilogue is an unbelievable, wonderful ending!

Thanks a lot again for your patience. I sure was a pain in the a.. the last weeks.
I owe you some good brews for all the work you had with that. If you ever come around here let me know it. Do you like a good beer from time to time?

Great to hear it survived, and that it's still in the family, hope third time is the charm, all the best. ( Lets go with the pics, after your fingers stop smoking.)

ok, as promissed here are the first shots. The lack of quality has something to do with it being 11.30 p.m. here now.

1. Stupid happy new bass face:

2. Axe and homerig:

3. One happy family:

to my surprise, having three balls does not feel so bad....

 

[laneline]

Again, congrat's on it working out.

 

[MrMusashi]
