The Grass is Always Greener

[eric B]

i've always wanted to try a cutlass (the graphite necked stingray)...but i probably wouldn't like it because i prefer thinner, jazz style necks. a sterling with a graphite neck would do it for me...

Confession time:

I never heard of a Cutlass.

I never owned a Stingray.

I always wanted a Sabre.

I must one day own a Stingray.

I never like the way a 5 string Stingray looks.

I don't drink.

I don't smoke.

I'm obsessed with women.

I stole a radio off of a biker many years ago because it felt like bear hunting with knife.

I never stole another thing after that.

I just lied. I took some ice cream home when I drove a good humor truck but paid kharmically by having the wiper blades and antenna stolen off of my car the same day.

OMG Verwy Pwitty. What's the story behind that one (if I'm not opening up old wounds)?

Ii wish I had my custom sea foam green with checkerboard binding sr pick in the bridge position sabre in the front bound neck....stolen in germany

Jack let me know when you get the ric so I can look for in on the bay 10 days after you get it

This one haunts me:

me too!! i wish i would've bid on it but it sold in europe (i think) and was just more than i could afford when it popped up on ebay.

aslo, my first stingray. it was black/rosewood. i found someone to trade necks with so it ended up with a fretless neck and a bartolini MMC pickup. i then traded it to someone for a black SR5 (with bart pickup) and he ended up puting a moses fretless neck on it!! he sold it eventually and now i don't know where it is but i wouldn't mind trying to buy it back if it ever pops up.

If I win the lottery tonight, this will be mine...

 

[jongitarz]

It must be a small lottery if all you can buy is a bridge if you win

It must be a small lottery if all you can buy is a bridge if you win

I didn't win.

A forum only bass - only joking

I would like to try a Cutlass but have heard bad things about the necks being a bit of a lottery so I am looking into a status neck for a 90s 4 string I have lying around

 

[roballanson]

This is what haunts me during the day when I am at work. I know she is sitting at home calling for more playing time......
Seriously though the bass that I really regret selling was a trans red fretless Sterling.....but sometimes I guess needs must.
Anyhoo the purpleray more than makes up........

Edited cos I thought I would post a shot of the back of the neck. Might be a little too small to see the detail but the weave is gorgeous....

You could always buy mine.

Could you post a pic and fill me in on what a Cutlass is. I'm feeling terribly out of the loop.

 

[Joshua]

All I ever wanted was a 'Ray.

Objective completed.

It's an absolute beauty, however shipping to Indonesia is "problematic", so my GAS has to be curbed for the next 3 years.
