NBD ( A Sunday Stingray)

[mpdd]

I should have got one of these in 2009 when they came out!!!!!

This was a totally unexpected FB Marketplace score.

The oiled neck is incredible and the eq is really easy to dial in sweet finger style and slap tones.

I can’t wait to play this at band practice.

Beauty.


I'd probably take off the pick guard or get a clear one but that's just me.



Enjoy!

Maybe gonna get a white pickup casing, but a clear pick guard sounds cool.

Sick!!!

Nice bass, but please, clean that fretboard!

 

[Lo-E]

I’d leave the pick guard and pickup cover alone, personally. I think it looks great.

+1 on the fingerboard, though…. eewwwww.

What model is it that came out in ‘09?

I'm curious: what's the thing above the nut?

If the gunk is your gunk, that's fine. But if it's someone else's...

it's a gruv gear fret wedge that does some sort of dampening in that area

Congrats! Looks awesome!

i believe it is a combo of the two previous owners, gonna hit it with a little lemon oil when i change the strings

I'd recommend using a bit of naptha to clean it rather than lemon oil.

I love this bass with the white pickguard. Classic.

So, you just made that username and then decided to almost never post in 22 years? You gotta get some miles on that thing.

I love to lurk

OP: You might want to check the EB website for cleaning and then resealing with gun stock oil (on a maple neck).
