The guy that had it for the biggest part of the 40 years played almost 1000 gigs with it and there are some scars as you would expect. But as you say he clearly took good care of the instrument. 👍

Thank you. As for selling it again no chance! 😂

Thank you! I was pretty chuffed about it. For a whole week after I got it back I had to sleep on my hands to stop me from clapping. 😂

My two Stingrays. On the right a 1977 which I actually sold 40 years ago in a fit of pique, not long after my then wife-to-be had paid a local jeweller to engrave my name onto the battery plate. Aside from my own regret she has never quite forgiven me for selling it so we’ve been looking for this guitar ever since! Well, we found it in late August this year, battery plate still intact, and I bought it back. On the left is an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Classic that I bought in 2014 as the colour and appointments reminded me a lot of my original bass. So now I have them both. 🙂
