haha i'm just another compliment but what a beautiful bass.... shame it wasn't 5 string though

Yes but im not looking for a [i]"quick sale"[/i] as such. The 'Sterling' Ray35 by Musicman ([b]£749[/b]) is same price or more as most same basses selling on here and of which, alot better than that pile of indonesian crap. I know times are changing, guitars age and people are looking for a good deal too but this is a bass that retails for about [b]£1.5k[/b] new and i don't think selling it for £600-£700 does this bass any justice, especially for a 5 string. Im sure you and many others who have read this thread will understand what my point is. Cheers for the comment anyway

Mine actually came tuned to C-C... they can possibly be tuned to E-E but the intonation may go out and alot of tension made on strings and neck, possibly.

about postage? as long as you pay the price i';m asking i will guarentee free P&P uploading pictures in a minutes time Thank you all for messaging me and being patient.

[center] [color="#0000FF"][url="http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G5265&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1"]<<<Gretsch Baritone Page + Specs>>>[/url] [/color][/center] Got this baritone guitar just over a year ago (01/12/08) from Dawsons in Liverpool after I found it hard to put down... unfortunitly with having to look for work or work toward an ECDL lately, i havent got the time to pick it up now. I think this guitar can occupy both guitarists and bassists. It is 4 semitones lower than your average guitar (C-C) and has a longer scale neck giving a lovely and natural bass tone but can get crisp highs too. It's a shame to sell this but it does need a better home than it has already. Pretty much NEW condition other than i removed the horrible scratchplate to make it abit more manly and cant find it now (haha). no marks on it what so ever!!! I'm asking for £200 as you can not get a guitar like this around unless you import and perhaps pay the RRP. I'll try and find a spare gig bag, supply it with the spare strings i got for it (elixers) and a levy strap. IF baught before Xmas, i shall include a small goody bag of guitar and christmassy goods. Hit me up if your interested. *Paypal payment preferd & I'll try my best to get FREE P&P depending on where you are.

[color="#FFFF00"][size=1](First of all I shall update this thread with pictures when I get the chance, please be patient)[/size][/color] [font="Verdana"] Basically I'm looking to sell my Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray5 5 string (inc straplocks and hardcase), just due to the fact i prefer a passive bass guitar. I've never really used the 3band EQ and it seems such a waste me keeping it and not use it to its full potential. Now, this bass is used but good condition: not saying 'new' but it's not far off, condition wise. It does have a few minor scratches, like any bass and a few dings but no belt rash as you can see in the pictures. I am asking of a price of £975 [color="#FF00FF"]*[/color] just for the fact it's one of the best "mass produced" 5 string basses you can get and I payed just abit more than this just over a year ago, so im not letting it get away easily.[/font] Specs: [b]Size:[/b] 13-3/8" wide, 1-3/4" thick, 45-3/4" long (34.0 cm wide, 4.5 cm thick, 116.2 cm long) [b]Weight:[/b] 10 lbs (4.54 kg) - varies slightly [b]Body Wood:[/b] Ash [b]Body Finish:[/b] High gloss polyester [b]Bridge:[/b] Standard - Music Man® chrome plated, hardened steel bridge plate with stainless steel saddles; [b]Pickguard:[/b] Standard - Black.
