FS/FT EBMM Ball Family Reserve Stingray 4HH *SOLD*
BlueHelmet replied to Beedster's topic in Basses For Sale
That's quite a nice bass. How much does the black sugar finish actually sparkle? And Chris, in case the deal does not work out, could you drop me a short PM? That would be great. -
I got mine for €1250 (~£1100), 2007LE 4string in that blue sparkle colour. Basically it's a Stingray, and that's all I use it for. The different sounds are okay and interesting, but I find myself only using the bridge humbucker as it offers a maximum of punch. I also have an ebony edition Stingray with an ebony fretboard, and I like it a lot. It looks great, but it is not quite as black as the product photos want to make you believe.

bought a strap from pablo. no problems at all, good communication, really fast delivery to Germany, good price.

oh. too bad - for me -
hmmm. would you ship the bass to Germany?
-
... uhm, ade, about that scratchplate ... would you be willing to sell it alone? If yes, I'm interested. -
woah! I'd like to enter as well, please.

[quote name='Adee' post='1041150' date='Nov 29 2010, 02:48 PM']Hi Jo, You sorted with a RIC now and just want the scratchplate ?[/quote] Yep, exactly. I found a Jetglo 4003 in Germany - not as beautiful as yours, but it will do. So now I'm going for that killer look with the black pickguard with white edges - if you're willing to sell the pickguard alone.
-
let's bump that. BTW, ade, where did you get that beautiful 3ply black scratchplate? And would you be willing to sell it without the bass?

ehm. PM sent. I hope it arrived?

Let's not forget about ebony fretboards here.

I'm also new to this board, but I guess that also around here common suggestions in that price range are ibanez, yamaha, squier, preferably used? or perhaps you can see whether an OLP stingray or a G&L tribute suits you.

1. Forever I'd say. I guess that my first 'Ray had a new battery when I got it about five years ago. I've played it a lot in the first two years and it still runs on the same battery. Haven't played it much in the last three years though, but a few months ago it still worked. 2. Absolutely. I prefer plucking a tad behind the pickup. (Language question: do you use "a tad" in this context? I'm not a native speaker ..)

Another new face around. I'm in my mid-twenties and I live in Germany, so you'll have to excuse any language mistakes. It's been a while since the last time I've participated in an English-speaking board. As you can see from my avatar, I am a Music Man Stingray addict. The latest addition to my collection is an ebony edition 4-string whcih I play through a Markbass Little Mark II and a 2*10 cab made by a small German company. Right now I'm looking for a nice Rickenbacker 4003 bass - perhaps I can find one here preferably Jetglo, as my girlfriend dislikes basses in reddish colours and probably won't give her permission for a Fireglo one, and I can't stand the look of natural wood.
