[quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1464544963' post='3060233'] What a beauty, GLWTS, wish i had the money !! [/quote] Thanks John. [quote name='peterkas' timestamp='1464557951' post='3060364'] Is it the pickguard original too? What a bass man. GLWTS [/quote] Yes it is, I believe plates changed from tort to black in around 1972-1973 but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will confirm.

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica]30/05/16 - SOLD subject to the usual blah blah blahs - will confirm this time next week. - - - - - - - - - -[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Merry Long Weekend all,[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Business & life plans mean I’m having a cull of all but my absolute essential gear - ho hum - so unfortunately I’m letting a number of members of the family go . . . This is my 1977 Musicman Stingray in black with a maple board, Serial No. B005810 & 'TM' headstock, complete with the original hard case. He's seen some life but commands real presence - obviously at coming up to 40 years old there’s dings, dongs & bongs here & there but nothing whatsoever that really stands out. For me, it just has That Look.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]Now, importantly, he's currently sporting John East’s 2-band EQ pre-amp - which I have to say just nails it - BUT he does come with the original wiring loom & epoxy preamp but this was bypassed when I received it & I had the JE ‘lying around’ so put it to good use. Ultimately it plays & sounds absolutely superb - I’m no expert, just an avid lover of basses, but the thin frets & neck just seem to require no effort at all - it really is The One for me; if needs didn’t force my hand, he would be staying with me until my last breath - but it’s ‘just’ a bass & I have to attempt to be grown up & prioritise now. Ahem.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]He plays superbly, the perfect low-ish action for me & not much more to say than all works exactly as it should & of course, he has That Sound. Weighs in at an eye-watering 12.2lbs, but I’ve found that a decent wide strap made him more than useable. Comes complete with the original hard case & a genuine tort plate. Now the bonus - I bought him directly from Nick Fyffe - he of Jamiroquai & The Temperance Movement - & have a signed letter of provence confirming all & that it was used extensively on the ‘Synkronized’ album plus ‘Sensitivity’ by the Shapeshifters & Chic - it’s even on You Tube - 1:49 spotlights it - although don’t blink or you’ll miss it![/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i4zg9PzXYM"]https://www.youtube....h?v=2i4zg9PzXYM[/url][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]I’ve not tarted him up in any way & have photographed under my studio lights as they really do accentuate any imperfection - so please be prepared for a pleasant surprise when seeing him in the flesh!

[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica]I’m more than happy to take more detailed pictures if required & would vastly prefer collection from me so you can try out & satisfy yourself that he’s for you before parting with any lolly - I work from home so am pretty flexible about timings & am 15 mins off the A1 St. Neots/Kimbolton junction - warming or cooling beverages & biscuits on hand - but I’m prepared to wrap up & courier to you fully insured & tracked for an additional £35.00 if you can’t make it to this neck of the woods. Unfortunately due to previous bad experiences this is a UK only sale, with payment via good ole cash, bank transfer or PayPal plus fees. So all-in-all I’ll be very sorry to see him go, but if you’re after a pre-EB with a bit of history & a lot of mojo then please do get in touch - as mentioned, cash is absolutely king so unfortunately I can’t entertain any trades, magic beans or golden geese please. Cheers Tim [/font][/color]

Thanks fellas, thanks very much indeed. A total pleasure Nik - great to chew the fat. Brilliant news Karl - thanks so much - & just for the record the TRC doesn't mention a certain unmentionable 😉

Nik 'popped by' today to collect a TE amp & we spent a very convivial hour or so talking about everything bass & more - an absolute pleasure to meet & I firmly echo all deserved praise here. Thanks Nik, hope all went well today & enjoy the TE. Cheers Tim

Musicman Stingray type neck
TimAl replied to TOMAS's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Hello there Tomas, I have a Vintage brand maple neck off of their version of a Stingray if that appeals? Great condition & nice action, plus complete with 3 + 1 tuners. A genuine MM neck replaced it (as I used the body as a lightweight alternative) so it should fit perfectly but can confirm dimensions & send pics tomorrow. I don't want much for it - say £35 plus postage at cost? Drop me a PM if you're interested. Cheers Tim -
