swapping necks

[bovinehost]

I'm still keen on this idea but something else is niggling at me. I don't see many pics of natural/rosewood stingrays on the 1nt4rw3b. Could it be a comparatively rare combination?

Not really. The heavy hitters (GC, et al) order tons of black/maple combinations, so that's what you tend to see out there in vast herds. Personally, I've had four or five natural/rosewood combinations and think yours looks fantastic, but - well, ye olde maple vs rosewood question, which to me seems like a matter of which you prefer visually.

And if it were me, I'd do the swap (if you can find someone) and never worry about the value. The real value comes from playing what you want.

Mate, just tell her its for the good of "the BAND" and go get another 'Ray ( ducks for cover )

Cheers Jack.


I totally believe you but where are they all? Using google images I found some 5 bangers, some fretless', a 3eq and another 2eq but with an unusual dark headstock.

I honestly don't think I'll be allowed another bass.

... and this excludes guitars and current bass building/finishing projects.

Just kidding. Two of those aren't mine.

Can I come live with you?

You might want to have that checked out by an addiction specialist.

I'd happily swap you out if I had a maple-board ray right now. See what comes up here, I say.

Jack, that maple-necked green Stingray with the matching headstock on the left of the picture - sweet! What colour is that?

 

[ou7shined]

I have a feeling it might be Metal Flake Green.

 

[ou7shined]

Like this...

 

[bovinehost]

That's it. That one belongs to Professor Strangeglow, a good friend of mine who now resides in Austin.

Metal Flake Green... I should have known, I have a SR5 in that colour. Mine's a rosewood though and this one, with the maple board, looks even classier.

 

[ou7shined]

Y' see maple is best.

If I recall Heinz under went a neck transplant and didn't seem to suffer any travel miles or loss of those lusting to own.

Much to my surprise, that bass got BETTER with the rosewood neck.

But I just kind of favor rosewood, so there's that.
