Vault Torture

[Big Poppa]

I went to the vault with Dudley and Dargie...... How about a pic of the Stingray 5 Proto?

I will dole more out as torture if you are good boys and girls

 

[adouglas]

Schweet. Love the old-school camo case, too.

Thank you sir may I have another.

This.

Also, I want to make a wish. Please Sterling, could you take a picture of the bass Tony Levin sent you after it was in a fire?

BP..what year was that? I know when it came out, but when did you make the Proto?

 

[drTStingray]

V nice - is that blueburst?

[Kirby]

Awesome thanks! Looks like blue burst to me. Anything on the proto that was changed on the first production models?

[jelwood]

When's the next anniversary of the SR5?

Didn't the SR5 come out in 1987? I'm not familiar, do they celebrate yearly...every five years...ten years...?

For it being the very first Stingray 5 prototype, that is one of the sexiest basses I have seen. Love the camouflage case too. I almost didn't see it.

very nice, I think I have a photo of that from the factory visit. It's a nice one

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

That was the exact colour/neck combo I wanted at the time I got my first MusicMan (StingRay5). I ended up getting the trans white one because that was the only maple fingerboard bass my retailer had in that particular shipment, but I would have taken the blue in a heartbeat if it was there.

I often read people refer to that finish as "Smurf Blue".

I'll give you $10 for it.

I'm sure I have one too...from the Open House factory visit. Really like the finish.
