Old Horse Murphy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've got a near-mint condition black/maple Stingray 4 which I am looking to trade for a black/maple Stingray 5 string (possible small cash adjustment too). Why black and maple? My wife bought me this, so if it's the same colour scheme, she'll never know (hahahaha!!) I no longer have the case for it, but I'd be happy to do a swap for just the bass. I know this is a real "out there" feeler, but if you don't ask you don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold a red Sterling and bought a red SR5 a while back and it was spotted immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I once replaced an Alembic Mark King coco with Green Led's for a Series II Alembic coco with Red Led's !! I claimed the pickup selector was an LED controller (like the GB's Darling) which changed the colours of the Led's She asked me to turn them green again...... game over !! I cooked the tea and did the dishes that night......!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops!!! He emigrated to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know by now that women are an alien race with special superpowers that are all aimed at subjegating their menfolk Also if you find someone willing to swap a SR5 for a SR4 - ask if he has another and wants another SR4.
