No not for classic

I'd like to know the weight of those. The original ones were nice but often too heavy.

Mine that I just got is 9lbs 14oz plays like butter

This comment has me scratching my head. Perhaps it is just a matter of perspective, but I see many, MANY pro bass players using Stingrays right now. Case in point, just go to any rock festival. I can personally attest to the fact that about 50% of the bass players in these pro rock bands are using either a 4- or 5-string Stingray of some type. Maybe your perspective is from other genres?

As far as this reissue Stingray goes - It looks great, but that price is just silly for most of us. I guess we'll see how the market handles it....

truth !!!

Man, I gotta say, I was very skeptical of the price of these new retro 'Rays. Then I played one at the Bass Shop in Seattle. The sound, the look, and the neck alone I think justify the price. If I didn't already have a classic from 2011, I might consider getting one of the new ones. They are super nice.

I prefer the classic.
