bagsieblue Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Bought this fairly recently, needing some TLC and after putting into it considerable time and money it's now 95% of the way there, and after a recent Bongo purchase it's time for this one to go. Now £525 shipped - prefer a collection and inspection given that the bass is not "as stock", will of course knock off the courier fee if collected. No Trades. Made In the USA - to all intents and purposes this is a US Stingray. Plays and sounds great. Slab body, neck has been stripped of the paint (if you don't like painted necks this is a good thing), as too has the body - and refinished in a vinyl wrap of black with a subtle glittery sparkle - think Starry Night but with a bit more colour in the sparkle. It's quite subtle and hard to capture in the photographs. It's a decent job, the join is on the the inside edge of the neck as shown in photographs. Headstock too also has the vinyl wrap on the from face. 95% of the way there in the project I say - the remaining 5% is the D string tuner ear being a little loose (still functions) and 3 x tuners screws which are stripped. I've tried my screw extractor tool and can't get it to grab on these - I think I would need a one size down attachment to the sizes I have. Tuners still function and are secure - just that the 3 x screws are odd compared to the others. Edited December 30, 2021 by bagsieblue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
