Because it looks fantastic.[/quote] <sigh> Quote from 1st post - "A long time ago I bought a Stingray 5 (on a 4 hour detour on my honeymoon. How my new wife laughed!). I then bought a MM fretless neck for it. I then made a template from the body (ash + luscious birds eye maple 1/4" cap with a subtle rosewood veneer coachline between both) and bolted the the fretless neck to that and flogged the original Ray 5." In case anyone thinks that I am getting arsey here, I know Mr 252 very well

The only "proper" bit the neckplate

The reality is that I would love £650, but it is such an odball to price that I just don't know if that would fly. I was honestly expecting to part it out, and that is kind of about what it would come to. If someone wants to give me £650 then I would be happy to ship it to their door. I am in Bangor, North Wales.

Ho hum.

If this somehow is not sold then put me in line.

Status MM5 neck with ultralites and a D tuner drilled for 6 bolt absolutely standard MM fitting. £340 new - that is what the bare undrilled neck costs from Status. This has (fitted by Status) Hipshot licenced Ultralite machine heads from a Lak Skyline and a US D-tuner and was drilled by Status for body fiitting - that all added up to another £200. £340 as it is 2 x Nordstrand MM5.3 - £99 new each. £60 each . Badass V slotted for MM5 spacing - £50 East MM-preamp with sweepable mid £140 new - £80.

Price drop bump. I need to shift these as there are a pair of Villex pick ups waiting for me.

[quote name='Flanker' post='311635' date='Oct 21 2008, 10:19 PM']Yeah Steve and I really do love this bass too but I'll never gig with it (Skjold for that) and I'm past the stage of just buying anything I like without somehow being able to pay for it![/quote] That's crazy talk and part of the reason the economy is in such a mess. Shame on you.

£120 anyone?

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='308141' date='Oct 16 2008, 08:44 PM']got any pickup dimensions mate?[/quote] 4.52" X 1.48"

I am thinking of changing these, due to having too many basses with EMGs. If anyone wants them then I will change them. If not I will not £210 for a pair new. These are virtually new and very clean cosmetically. £105 to your door. Inside the EMG-45TW pickup are both single and dual-coil pickups, each with its own output. The single-coil mode is a new version of our EMG-J pickup built in the CS (ceramic and steel). The dual-coil mode is our popular CS dual-coil consisting of two coils opposite one another creating a pickup similar to model 45CS. A push/pull volume (or tone) pot allows you to change from the clarity of a single-coil to the fatness of a dual-coil. The 45TW can be used with any of EMG's tone enhancing circuits on either pickup output. This pickup uses a 45 Extended housing that is 4.5 inches (115mm). Some discussion about them on TB [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-139484.html"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/inde...p/t-139484.html[/url] Want them you know you do!

Do you have a model number for the MD player? Is is a 1U rackmount? Ta.
