So I Recently Celebrated My Birthday with a Party where my friends hing out in my bedroom with me while i layed in Bed in my bathrobe. I moved a couple basses out to help pay some medical bills. And i played my first show in several months and rocked and rolled. But none of those things are relevant to this post. I feel a little guilty having this. It truly Is the Stingray of my dreams. A google search brings up one picture of a bass this color. There is a story about this Bass.. But the Pictures can tell it better than I can.

Translucent White! Crazy Figuring in the Neck. Minor Yellowing, but its immaculate for a 21 year old guitar.
Special Thanks to the Person that made it possible.. You know who you are.

Enjoy.

Yes Sir...
I realized looking at my pictures the E and A Strings weren't seated in their saddles... And she has some 60 cycle hum When you aren't touching the volume knob. But other than that its perfect.

What a beautiful bass, being a hobby wood worker I am a sucker for figure and grain in wood. That bass has it all. Congrats!!!!

Whats crazy is how much I like the neck, usually i like the smaller sterling profile, but this one feels like a worn in glove. Does anyone know the measurements? I haven't had a chance to play one of the new classics, but Is it the same as that?Strung with flats its as easy to play as my Al.

Was that Barginov's bass? I saw it on E-bay and was lusting after that beautiful instrument so heavily!!! If so, I can not think of a better home for it to go to! Awesome score Erin.
