In fact, I've changed my mind - I'm also selling the set of Tonerider pickups that I bought for this project. They were fitted to a solderless wiring loom so I haven't cut the wires, they are the full length that you would get when buying them new. £30 posted to mainland UK So if you bought everything that I am selling, all that you'd need to finish the bass once you'd moved the bridge slightly would be a wiring loom or a set of pots etc, tuners and your choice of strings

I've always wanted a maple fretless precision so late last year I decided to put one together. I literally built it, put the strings on it then put it away in a gig bag. I'm unlikely to use it but I want to use the pickups for something else so am offering it either as body on its own, neck on its own or I could do a deal for both. The pictures make the body look lighter than it is - it's a lovely dark burgundy colour and really suits the black scratchplate. I had to widen the neck pocket to fit the neck but with my limited wood working skills only widened it on one side. This means that you will need to move the bridge slightly to get everything to line up straight but i am sure that it will be no problem to one of the skilled members of the forum. Included with the body will be the scratchplate with screws (screw holes for a finger rest), bridge and Schaller style strap lock buttons ( I can fit regular ones if you'd prefer). I think that the body is basswood. You will also notice that a few of the screw holes don't line up with the original screw holes which isn't really an issue once the scratchplate is fitted. The maple fretless neck, having had zero use has no marks on the fingerboard itself. There is a mark right at the point where the neck meets the headstock that looks like the lacquer ran slightly and creased the finish. There is a dull spot next to this too but it's on the back so not noticable when playing. It is also drilled for standard MIM Fender tuners and has a 2 string string tree fitted. The width of the heel at it's widest before it rounds off at the end is 63mm and the nut is 38mm. If you need any more pictures of anything specific then let me know and I can take some more. I am looking for £65 posted for the neck and £65 posted for the body to mainland UK but could do a deal on both if bought together. I can post anywhere but would need to check the cost first.

I had an SB615 a few years back and I remember it being a very good bass. It's just a pity that yours is passive as I liked the active controls and am in the market for a new 5 string. That being said I'm sure it will still sound really good

Here you go

I had only just packed it away when I realised that I am bound to be asked the weight. I have weighed it using the "holding onto it while standing on a set of scales and then again without" method. Comes in at 9.8lbs or 4.45kgs

I'm going down a more modification route at the moment and didn't want to start messing with this so this is now up for sale. This is a 2004 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray in Desert Gold with matching headstock. I've been in contact with the original owner and apparently these were made for NAMM 2004 - all 97 of them. It also appears to have what look like black poles on the pickups like the stealth models. it's an incredibly beautiful bass and the colour really pops under lights. It is in extremely good condition with only a few small marks - the first shown at the bottom of the front face of the headstock and the others are on the back of the body in the form of a couple of small dinks and a few scratches. The last of which I didn't notice until I held the bass up to the light. Other than that it has very little signs of use. there are some light marks that you can see under lights but nothing obvious and consistent with a 16 year old bass that has been very well looked after. The rosewood fretboard has also aged really nicely and is really dark compared to some of the more modern basses I have owned played. This is a 3EQ model and everything works perfectly with no pops or crackles. The Jack socket is also sound and I have also recently changed the battery. As far as sound goes, you know what to expect with a Stingray and this doesn't disappoint. It has the classic Stingray growl whether fitted with roundwounds or flatwounds and sits very comfortably on a strap. It also comes with an original Musicman case that has the classic Musicman case smell. If you've ever owned a Musicman or a Rickenbacker then you'll know that they have an amazing smell similar to maple syrup. This is an absolutely incredible bass and I will be sorry to see it go. It always gets a reaction at gigs as it's such an unusual, vibrant colour and the sound is top banana. The only trade that I would be interested in at the moment would be a straight swap for a Spector Euro 4LX in a nice colour like amber, cherry, purple or similar but it must be in great condition and I am open to reasonable offers. Postage will be dependant on who you would rather use. I normally use UPS which comes in at £25, Parcelforce is £16 and TNT is £22. This is going by the Interparcel website. I am also happy to meet up within reason for a socially distanced exchange. And now - the porn 😛
