Help find this bass

[lukeluthier]

I'm looking for a bass I owned in the late 80s, early 1990s. Its a red Stingray (1985-1987) Not sure the exact year, and no, no known serial number) I know I had it in senior year of high school in 87. Is solid red, has mutes, 4 knobs on the preamp and a stunning maple neck.  I traded it in to Sam Ash Music in New York for an  SWR rig and regretted it ever since. The picture here is from roughly 1990. Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Presumably you’re posting this on a US site as well, as it seems a bit of a long shot that it’s made its way across the pond.

Indeed. But it only takes 6 hours to get there. 😀

If it came here by Parcel Force it's probably still in transit. Only been 30 odd years!

I'm asking this not to be a smart arse but wouldn't another Stingray from the same era suffice? It's a real long shot but with today's social media presence you never know ☺️
