This is the most beautiful Stingray on the WWW. Real Ash body, Honeyburst finish, Birdseye maple neck that is as smooth as butter. Weighs in around 10 lbs, due to the tone monster Ash Body. Its solid! There is a ding in the finish near the belly cut, and to fingernail size dings on the end of the headstock you can't really see, only feel. This was my first must have bass once I had the finances to buy nice instruments. I hate to see it go but its time. Will will ship in orginal case (covered with sticker), case straps have let loose so the top of the case lays open at 180 degrees, but still a good protective case. Ships with Black Schaller (German made) strap locks. Don't let this one get away. One of a kind. Hard to find birdseye necks these days, too expensive to buy. Save me as a seller, more premium instruments and amps coming your way.
