Thunderpaws Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Well, it would be NBD if it wasn’t still sitting in the parcelforce hub instead of being delivered on time!! The suspense is killing me!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I feel your pain. I had a StingRay Classic which was a lush thing. Only sold it to further fund my love affair with Classic Sabres at the time. I still hanker after a black/maple Classic StingRay like my pre EB I bought 35 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The words Classic Stingray and Parcelfirce should not be used at the same time in relation to each other. Hope it turns up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is my mother in law was waiting patiently for its arrival and said there was no know at the door. So, it’s away on its holidays to another depot somewhere for re-delivery tomorrow. Bugger. They didn’t even leave it at the local PO or neighbour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to deliver on the Friday and then Monday, said there was no one in which was crap. They eventually delivered it to the main post office which is on a pedestrian precinct and I had to take time off work to collect. Still it didn`t help that Will forgot to give me tracking details but it was ok in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been delivered today, waiting for me at home…roll on the next hour or so👍 Edited March 28 by Thunderpaws 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 (edited) Here she is in all her glory. Will take some more photos tomorrow when the light is better. Stingray Classic from 2011. Lake Tahoe Blue with an ebony fretboard and birdseye maple neck. Stunning instrument. Beautiful condition. Only issue is the nut seems cut a little high on the E string. Maybe it’s just me, I’m only used to P basses. This thing is solidly built and the finish is amazing. Was thinking about a Stingray Special with blue body and ebony neck, but when this popped up at bassbros I had to have it. delighted. Plugged in to my Ampeg SGT DI and it’s sounding mighty.

TheGreek Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) A looong time ago, 2010 IIRC, I imported a Veillette Citron bass from the USA. Arrived in the UK only to bounce between 2 HMRC depots for about 4 or 5 days. I watched this on the tracker never understanding why. Eventually arrived safely though.

Thunderpaws Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 (edited) Well, had her at first rehearsal last night and boy did she blow away all expectations. I’ve been looking for something to cut through with three guitarists for years, without just blindly turning the volume up. With the Ampeg SGT pedal plugged in to effects return of a beringer head into a trace Elliot 4-10, this sounded brilliant. Articulate. Punchy. Clear. Love my Pbasses but this Stingray is what I should have been playing all along. It really is a thing to behold!!! Also, felt lovely in the hands and due to the ergonomics I found using a pick with palm mute much easier than ever. only thing to work on is that the gloss neck became minutely sticky with hard work and sweat…what’s the best remedy for that? (Without running the finish off) Thanks to the previous keeper of this bass for keeping her in such good shape too.
