I'm probably going to kick myself sometime in the future for this... I'm putting this beauty up for trade or sale.
Looking for a US Fender Jazz or US Lakland 44-60 (Jo Osborn), or a 70s Fender Jazz or Custom Shop Jazz, 4 string only, and natural, blonde or sunburst finish, black at a push... I'm not interested in anything else really.
[s]£1200[/s], £999 for sale. Yes, massive price drop, its less than a grand! WHAT A BARGAIN!
Here's the blurb from EB about the bass:
[i]Sterling Ball has been often quoted as saying the this is the BEST Stingray he has ever produced!!![/i]
[i]This is one of only 783 ever made.[/i]
[i]Solid mahogany body with strings thru design. Single H model.[/i]
[i]Lovely birdseye maple neck, rosewood board all finished in transparent crimson.[/i]
[i]Comes with a plush black velvet lined oxblood case.[/i]
[i]A timeless design that continues to be a favorite among bassists worldwide, the Music Man Stingray is commemorated by Ernie Ball with this 30th anniversary limited edition bass. This special version of the Stingray features a mahogany body with a translucent crimson finish and a 34" scale select maple neck with rosewood fretboard, 21 jumbo frets, compensated nut, and six-bolt neck joint. The beefy Music Man humbucker is complemented by a 3-band active EQ and protected from interference noise by body cavity shielding. The hardware includes a wheel-adjust truss rod, Schaller BM tuners with tapered string posts, five-ply black and cream pickguard, and a heavy-duty, string-thru body, chrome-plated steel bridge.[/i]

It has a tiny nick in the body due to my clumsy guitarist, other than that bass and case are in lovely condition.
This is the damage, its only 3mm wide.
