Hi all... just a feeler at the moment as not sure whether I want to keep this or not...
Musicman Stingray SUB 5 bass - USA model, not the far east version. Got this in a recent trade and really like it, just have seen something else I have GAS for...
Been stripped of the textured paint by the previous owner (hope he doesn't mind me using his images...) and it is a very good job. Nice smooth finish and the wood looks good underneath. Not natural finish quality wood, but that's what you pay 2 grand for in a new stingray.
Black neck and tortie guard creates a very interesting look and it plays very nicely. Rumour has it Ernie Ball lost money on these, and they are comparable to other US models.
These mimic the Stingray classic - 2 band EQ, no chamfer on the edge and separate pickguard and control plate. Much more preferable in my opinion.
I would recommend an inspection so you can see the finish for yourselves. I am in the Great Yarmouth area near Norwich, can meet within a reasonable distance if required.
Would be interested in a Yamaha TRB5 with cash your way if anyone is interested...
Price is negotiable within reason.
Carl.
