martthebass Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Withdrawn through lack of interest. No love for the big red fretlessy thing. Time for some modifications Edited February 21, 2011 by martthebass
martthebass Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 As promised some nice piccies in the garden when it was sunny..... As you can see it's in superb nick with lots of nice ash grain coming through on the body. Weight wise I think it's about average for an SR5, my scales clock it at 10 - 10.25 lbs.
martthebass Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 After a couple of months away with Mr Shuker this bass is now back up for sale or trade. I know money's tight so I've given a number of trade options, this isn't an exclusive list so hit me with what you've got.....i can only accept or politely decline
lee650 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 If i had the cash id take your arm off mate, absolutely stunning, after years of only buying fretless jazzes i think my next foray will be with a stingray, great colour, as my 2 year old daughter just remarked "ooohhh thats very red" nuff said big bump!!
martthebass Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Many thanks Lee, it doesn't look as red in real life, in fact it's not that different to my Mahogany 30th, more of a deep red than fiesta red. You won't go wrong with a fretless Ray should you get one in the future Lee, love em myself just can't handle the extra string.....
martthebass Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Cheers Martin, I must learn not to buy 5 string basses in future tsk.
martthebass Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Had a couple of hours on this last night and had forgotten how well it plays (for a 5!). Still interested in a sale or trade should anyone wish to relieve me of this fine example of a Musicman tho...
Platypus Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This is just a ridicules price for a top fretless 'ray. Having bought a fretless stingray form Mart in the past, I know that it will be in excellent condition too

If I could get comfortable with the inevitable wider board that comes with the B string I'd keep it, for some reason it seems to make more difference to my playing on a fretless than a fretted. Having said that every 5 string fretted I've ever owned has ended up going.. Edited February 19, 2011 by martthebass
martthebass Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Well I've seen something I quite fancy and I've got a few days off next week so I'm going to knock this down to £650 collected or £675 delivered for this weekend. I've got potential for a px deal so that'll be explored after the weekend so if you're interested let me know sooooooon.
martthebass Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 And another big bump for the very cheap Stingray
martthebass Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Well, in the interest of getting this moved I've (foolishly?) decided to put this in at £625!!! This is for collected, if you want it posted then it's £650. Im only holding this for today then it'll be withdrawn and kept as a wall ornament.
martthebass Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 One last bump before this gets shelved.
martthebass Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Now withdrawn. Time for some modifications......
timmchale2009 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 If it had frets i'd have been all over it!

martthebass Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Dave, this was relisted in a separate thread as this one had got a bit confusing and drawn out. Yes it's still available at £600 plus p&p Edited March 3, 2011 by martthebass
