Paging @T_dub to the orange basses ward :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Love the orange, but the burgundy red one is gorgeous as well!

Been wondering about that - the stingrays I’ve been eyeing all come with a mono case as opposed to the hard shell. I just keep thinking “you’re asking 2500-3k for a bass and no hard case”. I don’t ever play with other folks and my basses never leave the music room. My whole need case is based on the fact that I relocate for work about every three years.
The mono cases are pretty sturdy? Would you trust a mover to move your stingray in it?

Seems you need to trade your Fender amp for an Orange amp :point_up:

Almost did. Got the fender solely on the weight. When I was a drummer one of the bassist had an orange and it was too heavy lol

@Mac @Mike_NL brother @T_dub begins his extended staycation today. Not sure if he’ll log in today or not. I’ll have some updates after I go by his folks house this weekend. But you’re right, he’d love that orange!!

The mono cases are pretty incredible. Seems like a compromise from a hard case but everybody I know who does extended traveling and gigging uses a mono or something similar more than a hard case.

It’s an upgrade from a hard case in both protection and lightweight. It’s definitely more premium than their abs hard case.

i am wondering though how many people are really going to get the idea that the mono case is an upgrade and not a downgrade.

It is time for an update.
Here is one of our dogs, Zooey, with my B2B graduation present to myself, a new Squier Classic Vibe '60s Fretless Jazz Bass and my first bass, a Fender Player Jazz Bass (fretted.)
She gives her approval.

Yes, I am on my way to turn myself in right now.
It will be a few weeks to months before I arrive at my permeant location at FCI Terminal Island in Long Beach, CA.

When I get there, My folks will have all the info to give Jesse, and he can post it in another thread.
He can also collect a email addresses to relay to me so I can keep in contact with those of you that would like too.

Pornos not allowed in prison, but that does not apply to BASS PORN, so sending bass porn will certainly help keep me going.

Thanks to all of you out there, my bass family, we will continue this journey together when I get back from this side trip.

Hang tough, Toby. We’re here for you.

And don’t you worry, you’ll be inundated with bass porn, especially the orange variety, whenever possible. That’s for sure!
