You posted it in Basses For Sale and I moved it .

Oh but which one ?! Watch this space for details of Basschat's first 'swap triangle'.

Deal impending - just waiting for Friday for swapover.

[quote name='Bigwan' post='265231' date='Aug 19 2008, 09:12 AM']Go for the JO5. Best 5er this side of £1500 (except for a bongo 5HH) IMHO... Kicks a 'ray 5's backside [b](again IMHO).[/b][/quote] The important bit is highlighted . I am considering my options currently.

I think Stingrays have definitely dropped a bit, but I feel the cosmetically superior ones (birdseye maple necks / old style bridges) should command a more reasonable price of £700+. With the Warwicks - a couple of people have unsuccessfully tried to shift there Warwicks on here ridiculously cheap. It appears the problem isn't what is being charged, but that everyone is skint ! That Streamer ProM 5 was down to less than £400.. which is crazy in my eyes. And back on topic (sorry OP ! ), replied to your PM Thunderthumbs .

Thanks for the offer but I haven't got any capital to stick into a trade - looking for straight swaps only .

*bump*

If anyone is up for a trade, i'm ideally looking for something with 2 pickups and active EQ, but bung me anything you have - i'm open to new ideas.

I have had a reply but it was very non-committal ! I dare say the seller has had multiple offers but is very specific about what they want and putting other offers on hold until he realises it won't happen. Unfortunately Aharon you are doomed to failure as you can't get a Stingray 4 with a selector switch for series/parallel/single.

Really really want a 5 string, this bass is absolutely fantastic but it also my most valuable ! Looking for trades of decent 5 strings, a Stingray 5 would be ideal obviously. Interested to see what else is out there really.. offer away ! The body in amazing condition, especially for a 13 year old bass, i’ve seen new basses look worse. The neck is a tiny bit grubby, but that’s what happens to maple fingerboards over time unfortunately. The previous (original) owner had the bass modified to move the pickup towards the neck. I moved it straight back and the pickguard covers it all no problem. The routing was done professionally on a jig and is very very tidy. It has no effect on the tone (i’ve played a lot of Stingrays and know for sure) and you won’t even know it’s there. I could have not told you this of course, but honesty and all that ! I would include 3 pickguards, those being the black one pictured, a matt white one (original EBMM) and the one modified for the different pickup position. You could if you so wished have the original pickup location and one in the extra routed hole, and with a little wiring modification you have a Stingray HH !
