stingrayPete1977 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Top work mate really how can anyone justify a new Sterlingray 34 against that bass and with a case too? bonkers and unless Rays go like Warwicks in the near future thats as good as putting £650-700 in your bank.

MattM Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Looks like whats called Honeyburst, love it, best of the bursts IMHO. Think the white pickguard looks great, but whatever floats your boat, tort and burst is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send them an email from the website including the serial number and you will receive a date of birth and colour for that bass within a few days or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
