Well, I was supposed to be downsizing… (NBD)

[beaglesandbass]

I wasn't planning on buying a bass, but I saw this on Reverb about a week ago. Gorgeous instrument at a good price, so I thought may be too good to be true. A couple days went buy and it saw still there. I couldn't believe no one jumped on it, so I called the shop. After asking a bunch of questions, I was satisfied, so she arrived today.

The only downside is now I'm extra motivated to sell my other Stingray.

That is a beautiful bass! Enjoy it and play some great music on 'er!

Sounds like the perfect way to downsize. Find something you like better and sell off the ones you don't.

Enjoy that sparkling Ray!!!

Flashy!

nice, looks amazing

My efforts in downsizing often end up this way too. Congrats on the new bass! You say you have a Ray looking for a new home maybe?

A disco queen, nice !

Now THAT is a 'gram-worthy bass. Photos of that one on all the socials would win the Internet. Even those little aesthetic details like the gold pickguard screws, gold truss rod wheel, and gold pole pieces in the pickups.

And if it sounds good too (especially in a short of it being played)... that's a crushing Internet win.

Curated bass in the best way.

Gorgeous bass! Congrats!

Nice bass.

The only way I was able to downsize was by moving to a different continent.

Love that flake baby! I just scored a gold flake MJT body on Ebay, can't wait to put it together.

Is it lighter than you other Stingray? That would be downsizing, wouldn't it?

 

[2saddleslab]

Downsizing..........look where that got ya'!

Sparkle finish, matching headstock, & GOLD!

I do! Not going to try and clog up the thread talking about it, but I just put the link in my sig. Price is negotiable and includes shipping & case.

I absolutely love the gold pole pieces, such a nice touch.

The classic I have weighs in at 9 lbs 14.7 oz. This one weighs 8 lbs 6.4 oz. So close to a bound and a half lighter.

Is this the same bass?

Negative, looks like the same color though. The serial number on mine comes back to January 2025.

 

[grubdumpling]

Sure is beautiful, the pictures I posted are of one for sale locally, been sitting for more than a year.

 

[tb-player]

That's sweet! I've 'downsized' like that a few too many times myself.

 

[CoughSyrup]

Yeah, can't say I blame you for reversing the downsizing

 

[Pet Sounds]

Cool bass! If I keep downsizing like you, I'll be sleeping in the garage.
