Preach Peach!!!
This is an '88 lined fretless rosewood peach 2 band Stingray I have hundreds if not thousands of hours on. Was my workhorse in several Punk and Rock bands, also some RnB and Funk/Disco bands. I mostly play a 2000 3 band SR4 fretted in my current band.

It's seen a lot, and I love her for her flaws. The cutouts were done by previous owner, who is a known musician. The current is the original, same with preamp.
This bass sings like no other bass I've played, and it's ruined my taste for bass tone to the detriment of my wallet.

I included a closeup where some clearcoat has been worn off, a lot of folks wonder about the paint color being more pink or more orange, I hope this helps clear (lol) things up. To me it looks like the clear coat has darkened and added an orange tint to the finish over time.
