It must be a transitional bass, featuring a lawsuit headstock and skunk stripe suggesting '81. But having the black crinkle hardware and patent stamped pickup covers, late '81 - '82. Yet featuring the small allen head pole pieces from '82. It seems quite unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd probably have to go with the SB-2 (nice price btw) since I'm already nicely sorted for an L-1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's definitely a keeper. No, they do not sound like a Stingray. They sound like a G&L. It's been said before, but I guess I'll keep saying it whenever the question is raised.
