Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 3EQ I’m set on getting myself a Status (again) so I need to make room. I took this bass in a trade a couple of months back and although it is a stunning example of the breed, my Special can look after any future Stingray needs so last in first out. Original ad here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/359492-mm-stingray-ashflamed-maple-traded/?tab=comments#comment-3858282 It really is in beautiful condition and as someone who has had around a dozen or so Stingrays, this has one of the best necks/maple boards of any of them. As @desmondpot described it to me, it has that ‘spongy’ feel to it. Not at all harsh but lovely and smooth. Unlike many of the later unfinished necks this one has a beautiful satin sheen to it and some stunning markings in the maple both front and back. Manufactured Oct 1999 Natural gloss Maple neck Maple fretboard Matt black pickguard 3 EQ preamp Chrome hardware 43mm nut Weight approx. 9.5lbs Original G&G hard case (no keys) Collection preferred but would be willing to ship at buyers expense and to their insurance requirements. The only trade I may be interested in would be a Status 4 string plus cash your way (I have a wanted ad up at the moment so it would need to meet that spec: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/388760-status-4-headed-s2s3cw-please-read-required-spec/). New photographs to follow tomorrow (if the sun decides to come out). In the meantime here are the pics from the original ad. New pics added EDIT - The photos seem a little unflattering with the string shadows on the fretboard, but please be assured it does have a lovely low action! 😂

On hold pending the usual Now sold thanks

Many thanks 👍

‘Tis lovely. What are the controls/EQ on this particular version?

Tech 21 VT Bass - £55 posted I’d describe this as well used (battered). I bought it like this off the forum a few years back and since then it’s been sat on my board rarely used. It still has velcro on the bottom and although scratched to hell it operates perfectly with no bent pots or other horrors. The only fault other than the scratches is that the battery compartment door is broken i.e. it won’t latch closed. It hasn’t been an issue to me as I’ve always used it through a One-Spot power supply and one of the Velcro strips runs over the battery door anyway (which is how I broke it – taking it off my board) . Price includes postage to mainland GB.

Zoom B3 and PSU - £75 posted Great multi-effects unit with amp simulations and looper complete with original Zoom power supply unit and box. You will require an A/B printer type USB cable to connect it to your PC/laptop (not included). Here’s a link to the Zoom site: https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/bass/b3-bass-effects-amp-simulator-pedal#overview There’s velcro on the bottom and some very light, superficial scratching on the screen but nothing nasty. The only real fault is that it no longer works on batteries. Never an issue for me as I’ve always used it with either the included original PSU or through a One-Spot power supply. Unit has been reset to factory settings so it’s all ready to go. Price includes postage to mainland GB.

I was just thinking that myself

That's a great bass. Loving the idea of the rotary switch. GLWTS

Beautiful bass. Am I correct in thinking that these reissues have the more conventional neck dimensions (i.e. 42/43mm nut and standard 19mm string spacing at the bridge) similar to the original R and Elite series?

With it being in a rack case this will be a doddle to ship. Go to the interparcel site, enter the size, weight and destination postcode and they will give you the prices for various options (personally I've never had an issue with UPS but other couriers are available). This will give an approximate idea of the shipping cost so you can quote a price to the potential purchaser. Once you have wrapped it, measure and weigh it again and enter the final details to get your accurate final price. https://uk.interparcel.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv76NoPyt5gIVj0TTCh3lhAFjEAAYASAAEgKZxvD_BwE I would always suggest you try and make life as easy as possible for the couriers e.g. wrap the case in card and tape it up securely but leave one or both of the handles exposed so they can be used when handling. Even put a sign on there saying 'Use Side Handles.' Here's a pic of what I've done in the past with cabs etc. It may seem overkill, but it will help the package arrive safely. Great amp by the way 👍
