Picked up a used 2008 Stingray 4 today in like-new condition. Vintage sunburst over a 1-piece swamp ash body and a rosewood fret board. Sounds amazing (no surprise) and plays wonderfully!
Here's a pic: 
I've played with the idea of buying a Stingray many times over the past 18 years but never acted on it until today. I'm pretty jazzed!

| | | | I have had an SR4 with the same colour combo since new, a 2001. I thought it had a one piece body for the longest time, then one day I realised it is a three piece body, they just do an increadible good job matching the pieces of wood. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Kingston, WA | | I was never a big fan of the fender 3 color burst but I did like the early 2 color burst. The Music Man 3 color vintage burst has always appealed to me (my favorite Stingray finish - nice that I should find one in near new condition for a great price).
I took this bass to an audition this evening and played it for several hours - what a fantastic instrument! Seemingly effortless to play and sounded great for a broad selection of music. Color me happy!
The audition was fun but not what I'm looking for. Worth the time regardless.
