    My wife had a trip to London and I begged and pleaded she would get me a Classic Stingray.
    The poor sweetheart did... but she got duped! What she brought me back is a copy... it doesn't say Ernie Ball on the headstock :(
    I just couldn't tell her and the bass sounds actually really good, so I thought I could experiment with some relicing instead :)
    Turned out pretty convincing I think! I also put in a D-tuner.

    lol... Pretty convincing! You even aged the string mutes to white from black. Is that a thing?

    Yeah, they were all "crumbled", figure that on a new bass... took some good ol' felt and fixed it!

    I see two different basses at the same carpet.

    Or how do you changed the grain lines?

    Damn, got busted right away :D You guys are good!!!
    Yeah, two separate SRs, May and December 1977: December has had a cozy life, mostly living under a bed, May has been to war and back... several times over :D
    Of course I changed the d-tuner to the correct one and shortly I will fix the mutes too.
