Second, can you post pictures, please?

I'm on my second one, and am very happy at the feel and tone. However, you may want to try one before buying because the body is a slab- not contoured. Some may find this uncomfortable. The 2 band eq is really nice, although I think the high eq frequency can get a way out of control. I keep the highs rolled off about 80%. |

| | | | Well, this story has a happy ending. I was able to put a bid on a Stingray Classic on ebay, and it was not contested, which means I was able to afford one. It's a black one with a rosewood fingerboard. This means I got exactly what I was looking for, and I'm glad I was a little patient.
Thanks for the thoughts and assistance, all! I'll put up some pictures when I have her. |
