Pinball Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Yes it sounds stupid but if makes sense to me. I had a bad case of GAS for a used but pristine EB SR5 fretless so when the price dropped by a 3rd I thought I should grab it and traded in my unused guitars and a bit of cash. I then left the shop happy. The trade had included my SterlingRay35, which I kept as a spare and used at practises or when I need to leave gear in the car. That was a few weeks ago and I have been looking for a replacement and guess what? The best thing on offer my old SterlingRay35. I negotiated with those nice people at PMT and they only charged me a small amount more than they paid me for it so have paid a deposit and will collect it next week. Come on home baby! Here's some pictures from the first time-I added the creme guard [attachment=178394:Sterlingbody.jpg] [attachment=178393:StirlingFR.jpg] [attachment=178396:Stingray head.jpg] [attachment=178395:SterlingFR.jpg] Edited December 12, 2014 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Great! This sort of thing doesn't make sense to non-bass players. Ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe it was still there, tucked away among the Sterling SUBs. It had to be done as it would have been crazy to leave it there ! Sometimes you need to travel sideways before you can go forwards. Edited December 14, 2014 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Before I traded it I put the original black one on it so will need to swap it back on so I needed another bass to go with my creme pickguard anyway I went for creme as thought that a white or white pearl would be too much of a contrast. I like dark basses but had comments that I couldn't be seen at a gig...no bad thing maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
