iconic Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Anything looks good in Surf Green and these are no exception [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Sterling-Ernie-Ball-Musicman-Stingray-Classic-/260879220434?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cbd9cfed2"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Sterling-Ernie-Ball-Musicman-Stingray-Classic-/260879220434?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cbd9cfed2[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I know, sweet colour. I was very very tempted with one being sold by AMS in Pool but I decided to buy a Lakland. I'd imagine these will be a great secondhand bargain in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nice colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I`m not really a Stingray lover but that is really nice and at a decent price as well. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Oh yes. That is the Ray I need. Great colour, no uncomfortable forearm contour, and a great price. When I get some cash together (not soon!), I may be having one of those, assuming the weight is right. Don't suppose they do them with maple necks do they?

RhysP Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Lovely colour, one of my favourites - it's just a shame that a large percentage of it is obscured by that horrible big white plastic scratchplate & chrome control plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Check out the surf green 57 strat in the 'other musically related section' haha . I've never got on with stingrays, the pickup wasn't a comfortable anchor when i needed and i've always had problems with fretbuzz on the neck (i've only tried 4). I prefer the tone of a P bass but i'm not a confident player so the stinger makes me feel too exposed!! There's no doubt that the soft pastille colour guitars and basses are a serious contender to sunbursts but fancy wood facings can top them both if tasteful.

Darkstrike Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Shame they don't have a maple fretboard, or a matching headstock for the rosewood board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) This is mint green according to SBMM. Lovely bass, and with a Jazz neck. One day ill own the 3TSB/maple version. Edited November 5, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
