I bought it in 93, and used it quite often as on of my two main basses. Ended up with 5 4-strings and 2 fives, but have since sold all but the trans-white and trans orangeburst. I got into the original P-bass tone for a while and used my American Precision and a Reggie Hamilton Jazz for years. Just took the trans-white out for a few gigs and forgot how great it sounded. I also just changed amps, so that may have helped out some, too. I've now got a GK-700RB II through an Ampeg classic 4x10 and an Ampeg classic single 15 ... great combination!!

Just wondering why everyone seems to change the pickguard on the trans-white StingRay?

There were less than 35 production pieces made in the Trans White "Mary Kay White" - all of them were made in 1993-94. Less than 10 of those were like yours - 3-band EQ with a rosewood fretboard.

:eek: Only 35?
I guess I'm one of them.

Although, I am guilty of changing the pickguard. It got a black one fairly recently. The tort was shrinking and lifting over the screws. I quite like it with a black guard.

And to think, I have kept it because I have always just liked the way it loks and plays! I have gigged with it quite a bit and will continue to do so, but I might be a bit more careful now ;-)

Actually, that count I responded to nrbassplayer above was only for StingRays - it did not count StingRay 5's. I would need to do some research to see how many SR5's were made in Trans "Mary Kay" White.

Hmmmm .... I don't see it as being a Trans anything, just not seeing any wood grain ... it looks more like a Candy Red to me. If it is trans, it could be a Translucent Red, as that often is more burgundy than true red .. do you have a serial number?
