New Bass Day...Stingray content!

Picked her up at GC today. Ball Family Reserve Stingray Classic. Birds Eye Maple neck, matching headstock. I'm a sucker for a matching headstock. Plays like butter. Starting in a new Reggae/Dub band this weekend so she'll get a workout for sure.

thats the same one that ive wanted since i first played it! i love the all white body. it looks and feels like your playing a bass made by god! lol
 
The first 48 hrs. have been blissful. Can't remember the last time I got a blister from playing so much. This bass plays even better than it looks. A minor adjustment on the neck relief and the string action and she was good to go. I had plans to replace the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2 and a Tort. pickguard but the all white thing has grown on me. She'll stay stock for awhile anyway.
 
Yea.
There's something I like about a white/white when the plastic is slightly lighter than the body. You would think it would be clashy, but it looks "worn in" and classy. As far as USA made bolt-on production basses go, a good Stingray has been at the top of the list for quite some time, if you ask me anyway.
