    I'm selling this for a friend. This is an Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray SLO Special. Four-string, 3EQ model. Black, BWB scratchplate, maple neck, chrome hardware, single pup. One owner from new, original hard case (but no key), registered with EB, excellent nick - one non-serious scratch (see the pics). Pics: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/SLO%20Special%20for%20Ben?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...n?sort=3&page=1[/url] Apart from the slight scuff in one of the photos, I couldn't see any other marks or damage, so it's pretty close to pristine. The SLO Specials are reasonably rare; they were a production run in about 2009 that hasn't been repeated yet; so at the moment they are only available second-hand. SLO Specials have a thinner, more jazz-ish neck than the standard Stingray's thick neck, while retaining the famous Stingray tone. Collection preferred from near Dorchester, Dorset, or possibly from Bournemouth during weekdays. No trades, sorry. Payment by bank transfer preferred. Also advertised elsewhere.

    Thanks I wish I'd saved the pic from the advert I posted way back when. Ah well. Was £140 a sensible price for it, if I may ask?

    I've been in that hat shop... bought one, as well. It isn't red though.

    Better looking than most Fender basses, IMO, but I bet it tended to neck-dive.

    I guess moving the bridge might be the way to go?

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1420312376' post='2647997'] Status Hotwire flats 40s - 100s on my Ray (though it is a fretless). Plenty of zing and low - medium tension. [/quote] No Ray here, but I do like Status Hotwire flats.

    Heavy metal is bad for you, folks. Proof right there...

    I remember seeing it on eBay and managing to restrain myself from buying it - but not from giggling a lot when I first saw it. Sadly, I still have no funds. Hey ho. Good luck with the sale

    Nice one

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1417372017' post='2619668'] Dont know why these are so hard to sell? it took me ages to sell mine and they are pretty good basses [/quote] I don't like the headstock design on G+Ls... maybe I'm not the only one?

    Thanks guys. I'm not affording anything at the moment, though... Merry Xmas

    I don't know anything about these. It's in Spain. Not expensive for a US-made Peavey. If anything, suspiciously cheap. I can't read Spanish, so I stuck the description through an autotranslator, and saw nothing to ring serious warning bells. (It said something like "the pots need cleaning, the strings need replacing, and the case is battered but functional".) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-TL5-USA-Pre-Cirrus-Original-with-case-/271716859738?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item3f43963f5a

    My understanding is that the lute is descended from the oud, yes. The name certainly is. But I'm not honestly sure it's always possible to pin down antique-style instruments to specific categories anyway... so for me, this is a member of the oud/lute family (based on body shape, neck without integral frets, the steeply raked pegbox, etc.) and that's as far as I think I can go.

    James bought a scratchplate off me. All went well, with good comms. Thanks!

    [quote name='willgatesbass' timestamp='1419249583' post='2637916'] Bump - £250. Getting seriously cheap for a near mint Godin with gig bag [/quote] It would probably help if you edited the thread title

    [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1419276005' post='2638296'] Is it a [s]Balalika[/s] [s]Balaclava[/s] [s]Ballystringything[/s] Balalaika, I know it's a wooden instrument thing! [/quote] Nope, they are triangular-bodied. This seems to me to be a lute with only a single set of strings.

    Do the black nylon strings work on a bass with magnetic pickups? If they do, the ebow should work with them. But it might be a bit muffled because the coating might damp the string core somewhat.
