Bought a Stingray bass on famous auction site, item # 200420547150.
Photo of the back suggests it's a piezo version because there is what looks like a piezo backcover.
However, there are 4 controls (knobs) on the front whereas piezo models I've googled all have 5 controls.
Could this be a 2EQ piezo bass? Never seen one before, I thought piezo Stingrays only come with 3EQ electronics.
Also serial # suggests its 2001 bass, electronics are dated 2006, so possibly electronics are not original.
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like somebody swapped the Piezo electronics and bridge with a common 3EQ electronics and standard bridge. And the neck pocket has cracks on both sides. Way to go to remove the neck on an almost new bass... :rolleyes:

749 isnt that bad for price. if i was in your situation i would contact the seller. he has 100% positive so i guess you should be able to work something out. afterall, the bass could be 5 years older than he said it is...
get that verified by posting the serial in the serial thread that is in the sticky dept at the top and youll have a better foundation to base further actions upon ;)
