I dont blame you one bit. But if you have not ever tried a Special and you are a Stingray fan, you owe it to yourself to try one out.

Many of us deal with too any choices by owning more than one. But if your favorite is burnt apple and they happen to have brought back, go for it. Get ti while the getting is good. Might not be able to get it but for a limited time. All of them have Sparkles except the raspberry . Personally, Id go for the Burnt Apple, Snowy Night, or Smoked Chrome in that order. Maple has some nice snap!! Brings out that Stingray STING!!!
For anyone that’s interested, BT13 Hipshot xtenders incoming. They’re not up on the Hipshot site yet, but I expect they should be soon. Mine (one of the new batch) arrived in Canada today and is on its way to me.
This is exactly what happened to me… “eh I’ll just go try it out, I’m sure I won’t like it enough to justify the price”
well that didn’t exactly work out
I have a Burnt Apple Special and I must say they are beautiful in person (and in pics!).Jeez to many choices

I dunno, kinda looks like it worked out really well to me.
Great news!
Oscar and I have had a funny and friendly exchange over the BT13s. He’s a great guy.
TWINS!
Funny thing is that a year before I pulled the trigger on my Ruby Punch, I was actually at Guitar Center in Hollywood and they had the Platinum Punch one in stock. I played it for a bit. It was really nice and I remember it being very light weight. Maybe I just wasn't in the market for a Stingray at the time, not sure why I didn't get that one. But I saw the Ruby color and fell in love immediately.

I don't normally buy just solid black basses, but damn that looks sweet with the gold hardware.Ok . I looked. Also spied these 5 HH models . One in burnt apple and the other in this awesome black with matching headstock and blinged out gold hardware.

One of my favorite color combos. Matching headstock is the cherry on top that makes it pop!!
Oh yeah, definitely agree on the matching headstock. There was a time when I wouldn't buy a bass if it didn't have a matching headstock. Times have changed, but I still prefer a matching headstock.
It's posts like these that keeps me wondering about a Special (even though I have a 2 and 3-band SR)!
I want one in the 7 lb. range. I've found one but don't care for the burnt ends finish.
Nice demo.
Harvest Orange looks better than I thought.

I think these finishes should never leave the StingRay lineup. And I think they should always be offered with choice of fingerboard , pickguard, hardware , and matching headstock option.
Just a suggestion ….. in case the big boys decide to drop by.
