    Great buyer! Lovely guy to deal with, very fast payment and great comms. A real gentleman of the Basschat parish, Thanks Claudio.

    No.

    The only trade I'm really interested in would be a 2eq Stingray with a maple board that weighs around 8.5 lbs. I thought that was what I'd bought so the hunt goes on. Who would swap a light bass for a heavy one? Right....

    Thanks for the comments, better in the flesh.
  12. tom1946
    Correct sir.

    PM'd Thanks Paul. I'm sure it will.
  14. tom1946
    No, he's spent the money sadly. 2.5 lbs actually Paul.

    I actually have a 2007 Teal and maple 'ray that weighs 8.2 lbs!

    I've only just got this having been told twice that it weighs 8.5 lbs, it really does not! The real weight of this beautiful bass is 10.85 lbs. Which is why I'm selling it. I'm 74 with a glass shoulder and a very bad back. This is a quality reissue of the 1976 Stingray, When Mr Fender started the company. It has the dampers and the white pickup cover to finish it off, in the flesh (or wood) it looks amazing and plays wonderfully well being a 2eq. I can't tell you how disappointed I am over this bass, I love it and you will too. The price includes delivery. ****I should add that the only trade I would consider is another Stingray that weighs 8.5 lbs, 2eq, Maple board.**** Please buy it.

    I really am unhappy at having to leave negative feedback and can only tell the truth. I bought the Fiesta red Stingray with that gorgeous birdseye maple neck from Col on the clear understanding that it weighed 8.5 lbs. He weighed it on his old scales and said it was around 8.5 lbs, I said are you really sure? Col said he'd ordered a set of Salter scales from Amazon and when they arrived he confirmed that it was 8.5 lbs on them too so I agreed to buy it. Couldn't wait, it's a wonderful bass so imagine my surprise when I picked it up out of the case, it felt heavy to me so I got my digital postal scales out and the reality is that it weighs 10.85 lbs! Felt like it too. I'm 74 with a glass shoulder and a very bad back so it's useless to me. I immediately contacted him to return it but he's spent the money. I never spend the money until I know my customer is satisfied. I don't think that 2 sets of scales can be exactly 2.5 lbs out. The upshot is that I cannot recommend Col to deal with because I feel that I've really been let down. Tom.

    Oh no.... same as my current Stingray.
  19. tom1946
    What's the weight please?
  20. tom1946
    yes, there was a thread with a lot of replies, I was looking at all the suggestions, I didn't put this one up? Gremlins in the machine maybe??
  21. tom1946
    I had the short scale passive that was on sale here, it was USA and I sold it on as it was very underwhelming. It just felt dull and lifeless to me after my Stingray. Not impressed for what they cost. That's just me though..
  22. tom1946
    No worries, glad it's not maple.
  23. tom1946
    The maple board looks a bit rosewood'ish Thank the Lord or I would have to have bought it.
  24. tom1946
    Hi, yes.
  25. tom1946
    Thanks guys, it's a great playing bass but I'm saving for a Sandberg Superlight as my neck and shoulder have taken a turn for the worse.
