sniperschool Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) hi I am looking to trade my Stingray (serial B006124) for a nice 70's precision with cash either way depending on what you have I think it's a '77 and i'm pretty sure everything is original but please correct me if something looks wrong As you can see from the pictures it's got some checking and wear to the finish (it actually looks much cleaner in real life) It sounds great and is really lovely to play ( i would say that but it's true!) looking for £1,625 obo if it's a sale rather than a trade i had put it down to £1,550 obo but it turns out that the case looks to be original after all so that's why it's gone back up It's in Essex/London but can meet pretty much anywhere in the UK if needs be I'm new on Basschat but i'm a Moderator on www.gearslutz.com (same user name sniperschool) if you want/need a reference Feel free to ask any questions Thanks sean Added a few more pictures that were requested Something about looking to see if it has a 'blobby black bit' under the knobs Also yes there are four felts/pads/dampeners or whatever they are called by the bridge Edited January 19, 2011 by sniperschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniperschool Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 thanks for that ou7shined the original owner thought it was a '77 or '78 so i looked on the Music Man bass website and that seemed to suggest a '77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassnut62 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Just interested to know why you would want a 70s P over this sweet looking and no doubt great sounding classic Ray? If it's just to go fretless, you could always track down a fretless MM Ray neck.... Edited January 19, 2011 by Bassnut62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperschool Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) it's sounds great and is really effortless to play (i admit to being a guitarist so need all the help i can get) but i've got a few early 70's 4001's and a couple of 70's precisions and they just do what i need them to do some days i prefer the sound of the stingray but most of the time a PB will sit better in the mix (alternative rock) i would keep it but in all honesty it has sat for most of it's life (since the early 80's) in the studio not being played Edited January 19, 2011 by sniperschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
