Oh my.

Let me see what I have laying around...........



L-R: black 78-79 pre-EB, black sparkle Sterling, Trans Green Stingray 5 (Heinz), black sparkle Stingray, trans orange Stingray. All gone now! Wow.



My first Bongo at work late last year.



My ex-Stingray 5, honeyburst with rosewood.



A Burnt Apple 'Ray I briefly owned and a natural 2 band that I sold this week...sigh.



Heinz the Wonder Bass. Some said it was ugly. They just didn't know better.



The Graperay, a piezo equipped SR5 being modeled by my pal Kassie.



Hey, I still own this one! Late model SR5. Big thump!



Some guy named Sterling playing a Bongo at NAMM. Arrrrr matey.

1998 fretted Stingray, black with rosewood -



2000 fretted Stingray, trans red with maple -

Here are some pics of my Stingray 5. Serial # E39543. I asked Derek about the color and pickguard combination because it is one that I have never seen before. Here is his response:


"The pickguard combination with Copperhead Bronze Finish was shown at the 2004 winter Namm show. We had a few prototypes with the copper finish and the pickguard you have but decided not to offer the combination. Lucky You. We may have sold those few "Namm" basses to Guitar Center as a special purchase. I have a SR4 sitting in my office right next to me in that same combination as yours.

Thanks

Derek"



I love the color, playability and tone of the SR5. I am very glad I decided to buy this bass.


Copperhead Bronze SR5
