BottomE Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hiya, ok my last 5 string has to go. Its not being played and deserves more than resting in its case. It is in absolutely mint condition. Cash i have no idea. What do they go for? Trade would be nice for an active Jazz or Jazz type bass (not a MIM). I am really open minded on this. I am on the south coast so pls consider that if you are looking to trade. Cheers, [attachment=66882:onDaFloor.jpg] [attachment=66881:NextToJazz.jpg] [attachment=66883:inDaMiddle.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic range of sound. Only reason for sale is a love of 4 strings and not 5. I would happily go for the 4 string version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 very tentative for now, and I know you said you didnt want anything MIM but does this tickle your fancy at all? Its a classic series and I've just upgraded the bridge to a Gotoh. Let me know?

[url="http://www.lakland.com/55-01.htm"]55-01[/url]. It certainly weighs less than my Stingray if thats any sort of guide. Sorry to be a complete idiot but apart from the price i don't know the difference between the two basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this means that saying "[i]weighs less than my Stingray[/i]" doesn't really help either. Unless you know the weight of your Stingray, of course. Should you devise a means of weighing the bass, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
