Rumple Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 If that Sterling is Teal I had exactly the same model a few years ago, I sold it to a Basschatter so it's still out there, in Belgium I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikanHannille Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Might be OT but this the only thread I see fit without making a new one to ask something... I have a stingray myself, but I'm wondering how much do they cost 2nd hand or 3rd or whatever now? Realistic price? £700-800 probably? Just basing on what I've seen here.

thunderbass1 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) [attachment=117620:Stingrays.JPG][quote name='oli@bass' timestamp='1340544396' post='1705850'] Both are correct... but I'd swap the necks. IMO, there's more to gain from the neck H on a fretted model... but that's me Classic burst is always cool. By definition, An orange pair would be killer, indeed! [/quote] Curiously I did swap the necks before seeing your post. You are spot on, the neck H is really precision like on the fretted and the 2eq just right on the fretless. Respect!

dafonky Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 ok....as the pre ernie rays are hard to find with a rosewood neck.... I try my luck here: ( i already posted several times in Items wanted) looking for an early ernie ball ray with Rosewood neck, ASH Body and 2 band active circuit thanks would trade even against one of my pre ernie rays....fretless, cutlass....fretted name it , I have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
