stingrayfan Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 "Just off to Bristol to pick up some Xmas shopping dear...." Good luck explaining that one when you bring it home, Phil. Nice bass though - actually tell her it was in the sales and you saved hundreds. Women understand that logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah I saw that at £560 with 10 minutes to go, bloody snipers. I didn't bid FWIW. But only because my mate's got a Stingray 5 and he's always banging on about how ace it is - I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me buy one.
