Mike Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That's being sold by Darren at the Bass Merchant, Colchester, FYI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 This looks a lot like Birdy's Spitfire - I know he had it up for sale a while ago but then withdrew it. Probably just one that's very similar though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think you need to do "The Twelve Step Plan" for bass addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 With such amazing instruments available in that sort of price bracket, why would anyone buy a new Stingray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've recently bought a brand-new StingRay fretless (but I got it at a special `artiste' price!) - to be fair the build quality is excellent. The retail price is staggering (I think its around £1,700 for one like mine - highly figured ash body in 3 tone burst - very Pino etc), but then, a brand new GB is also pretty high - if I was more wealthy I'd go get Bernie to build me one etc. Good quality used gear like Steve's ex-GB featured here is well worth going for at the price its up for, and I for one am hoping to get something sorted out!
