  1. Music Man Stingray 30th Anniversary Up for sale is a great Stingray. It's a 30th anniversary model from 2006. Apparently these are scarce, as only 783 were produced. The body is made of mahogany, which is unusual for a Music Man. The neck is made of a high grade figured maple. Stunning! The body and neck are completely finished in a transparent crimson red. Picture time: Its a great, open sounding Ray. I've had a few and played a bunch, and this is definitely one of the best sounding I've encountered. It even sounds great with dead strings! The Ray is in good shape. It has its user marks, but nothing serious. It's mostly surface scratching and a dent at the bottom. The original tolex hardcase is included. The bass is now fitted with fresh DR fat beams. I've had this listed earlier, but withdrawn it due to doubts as it is a great bass. I haven't played it since withdrawing it, so I made up my mind and decided to let it go for real now. I still have a Sabre for the MM sound, so I'm happy . Asking €1.550 (which is around £1395 nowadays) The bass is located in the Netherlands, but could be shipped fully insured within europe/UK. Reasonable cash offers and (partial) trades are welcome; fretless blade jazz, bunch of effects pedals per example. I am not looking for 1-1 trades.
  2. Shippingcosts to most destinations in Europe will be around 40 euros with neck attached, or around 30 euros with the neck detached. Depending on insurance, the prices can go up.
  3. Near offers and trade offers are welcome. I might like a good fretless bass (pretty blade jazz) or a bunch of pedals per example. I've also got 2 EBS 112CL cabs available..
  4. Might trade for a good fretless (old blade, jazz bass special), good electric guitar, or a bunch of effects pedals.
  5. Sandberg 5 string bass project: Here I have a neck and body from an early 90s Sandberg bass. The Koa (I think) body has a nice birdseye maple top, and looks great. It has some wear, but no major structural damages. When I got it as a complete bass, the truss nut had been worn out. I replaced the truss rod bullet with a new one, and all seemed fine. But when adjusting to the right tension, the nut wouldnt turn enough to adjust. It feels like something there is loose or out of place (doesnt feel broken to me as there still seems to be reponse), but I do not have the technical skills to think what to do about it. I dont want to bring it in for repair, as I do not know what to expect and it might get pricey. My thought is that I might have loosened the truss rod out of its place when I completely removed the truss rod nut....but I dont know. Otherwise the neck is nice and straight with still good fretwork. So when fixed, it is a nice neck. The headstock has a top that matches the body. The tuners are included and work like intended. Picures: €450 (which is around 405 gbp today) I will consider trades like a bunch of effects pedals, good electric guitar (fender reissue Japan strat), unlined fretless fender jazz... The bass is located in the Netherlands, but could be shipped.
  6. EBS Fafner Great EBS head, which sounds great in all circumstances. The amp sounds very good clean, but I especially loved to spice things up with the drive function. I used the amp with 8ohm and 4 ohm cabs, but it goes as low as 2ohms. The amp is in very good used condition. I´ve had it checked last week, and also had a new preamp tube installed (thought the old one was fine, I thought id refresh it for the sale). I really like this amp and it has been my favorite for the last 2 years. Though recently I bought and old Music Man amp that I had serviced, that I think is a special one. Besides that Ive purchased an old Marshall head in the meanwhile which also sounds great (but needs some service). Asking €700 - - - > now only €600 ----> Last pricedrop to €550 I might trade for a good fretless (fender Japan, blade b4), bunch of pedals, good electric (Japanese reissue fender jaguar per example). The amp is located in the Netherlands, but could be shipped within Europe/UK. Id probably wrap ´n pack it three times to avoid any damage Please contact me if you have any questions.
  7. How cool is that! I don't have Facebook, but might use a friends account for this purpose;)
  8. And don't forget to mount some pickup covers! 🤗
  9. Those are really great basses...ive owned one that didn't sound anything less than the 71 telecaster bass I owned shortly before. Though the original pickup had been upgraded. Congrats on your find! I'd say it looks pretty clean now I've got some basses in the past from some very less tidy people... I did barely dare to touch the strings ;). Boiling indeed helps for a while, but nowadays I'd rather buy a new cheap set of strings.
  10. Mine was for sale too, but I've decided to withdrawn it. The necks on these basses are really great which makes the bass easy to play. I like that. From the factory, the nut was cut a little high, so I lowered it... It's so comfortable now. And of course the caprice sounds awesome in all settings.. This might be a future classic! Good luck with the sale. Though you might rethink once you play it again
  11. Seems like 79 was THE production year for Sabres. Probably because sales didn't go all to great, and they could sell for a long time from their stock. At least that is what I would think. How cool would it be to own a bass for 40 years... That's all my life + 8...seems a long time🙂 It definitely deserves a prominent spot on the wall (next best thing after playing, of course).
