That is an absolute stunner. I have heard a lot about these basses and the amazing quality, where can one try one of these bad boys? are there any dealers or shops in the UK or do you have to get them shipped over?

Hi, there amazing looking bass, just wondering a couple of things. Are the plate and pickguard original as I noticed the control cover on the back as well. If they were added afterwards do you have any pictures without them both on? Its stunning and i really want an overwater jazz but cant be bothered to wait and prob wouldnt be able to afford one new anyway. Bumperoonie! Many thanks. NJ -
Cheers for the info. Its about 8 years old I think (havent checked the serial) and im the second owner. The pickup poles are really rusty and scabby and a couple protrude out what seems quite a long way. I may just leave it in but i quite like that smooth cover look and rusty pole pieces just irritate me (im a bit obsessive about clean guitars). I hadnt thought about those delano pickups I remember them being very good when i played a sandberg a while back. As for the nut, good suggestion on the adjustable warwick, I didnt know you could buy them. Will definately look into whether it will fit. Brass does seem to be very popular amongst some big players just worried it may make a bright sounding ray brighter. Cheers.

Hi there total newbie here just asking for a little advice on a few mods Im thinking about doing on my stingray. 1. I need to replace the nut on my stingray as its down to the fetboard and was wondering which material to get. Im thinking graphite or brass, but was wondering if anyone out there has either of these on their basses, and how they find them and how they affect the sound. Any other material suggestions would be gratefully recieved. 2. Im thinking about changing the pickup as the pole pieces have rusted and i find them a bit pointy and sharp. i like the idea of a smooth cover (bartolini style). Just wondering if anyone has replaced their stingray pickup and which ones people generally recomend. I have heard Barts are a bit gutless, but interested to hear views on basslines, nordstrands, emg etc. Thanks very much. Nath

Thats a cracker of a bass. i followed the link to the sellers ebay store. Is he for real because some of those guitars are going at silly money. Has everyone had good dealings with him because if so I have my eye on a reissue 53 P. I fancy going for a bit of a Sting vibe. Again lovely basses, how come there is never anything about these models on the fender site?
