NBD - Colour-shifting!

[7bridges]

Nice bass! PRS did something similar with their John Mayer Silver Sky Nebula guitar. They seem to command quite a premium for that treatment.

Dig it.

Just got this bass last night so I didn't have much time to put it down to take some pics. This is a new Stingray Special, I believe it is 1 of 5 made in this colour-shifting finish which looks like a blueish purple to maroon, to a bright orange depending on the viewing angle and lighting. Very cool.

Plays and sounds great and compliments my other SR Specials quite nicely as this one has a rosewood fb compared to my others which have ebony and roasted maple for their fretboards.

Sorry about all of the pics, just trying to show the colour-shift is a bit hard.

Pretty cool, and a really nice bass btw.

Amazing technology.

Don't mind the sheets on the couch, just trying to keep my stupid cats from scratching up the fabric.

Whoa that's an impressive Sting Ray stable!! That's color shifting bass is VERY cool

 

[Auspuff]

Reminds me of this, fella'.

 

[dave64o]

Beautiful! And even better, it's Stingray!

Love the family pic, also. I'm a big Musicman fan.

 

[Valvehead]

Wow that color shifting looks neat. Very nice.

I joined the Stingray family only last thursday when this arrived. I took it to rehearsals that same night. Anyway it seems to be Stingray week right now!

 

[johnson79]

So cool! Nice collection of Rays!!

 

[Krizz]

Very cool! Motivation for me to finally do a rattlecan refinish on a bass someone gave me. I have the green-purple-teal color color shift paint, just need to find the time to do it.

Yeah, I saw your post about that. Beautiful bass, I've always wanted to try a neckthrough stingray.

Someday my prince will come.

I remember when a few car companies were using that paint... I believe they called it ChromaLusion. It screamed 1990s and looked like it the car was covered in oil. It never caught on and disappeared.

Ford did that with the 1996 Mustang Cobra, the color was called "Mystic." Just a bumper scrape would set you back $500 for just a pint of that shade, itself.

All those cool basses in that family pic, and that sparkle one steals the show.
Cant help it, my eyes are just drawn to it.

YMMV.

Yes, I know what you mean. There is certainly something special about that finish.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

That is a very cool finish!

 

[bass.slinger]

How does this bass compare soundwise to your maple neck one?

Awesome, thanks for those pics! I have a hot rod bass with prismatic / color change paint. It's a really cool effect! The colors seem similar to yours, maybe not as dark, and not as sparkly. The builder, Benavente, offered a few other color shift options... I think one was yellow to red. But I'm happy with my choice. It starts off as pure blue from a perpendicular viewing angle, then transitions to purple, magenta, and even orange at extreme angles. Here it is with vintage sibling:
