Schnozzalee Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I've recently taken this in part exchange for my Marleaux and stored it while i'm at University. As close as you going to get to the Pino model for under £1500ish...or whatever the price of one of them is, but yeah one for the Paul Young fans!! Lightweight 2008 Musicman Stingray 4 String Translucent Honey Burst Finish Black Pickguard Unlined Fretless Pau Ferro Fingerboard (But with sidemarkers where the frets should be, rather than in the middle) Old Skool Focused 2eq Preamp Excellent condition with musicman hardshell case This has been kept within the basschat community so its fantastically well looked after. I'm not bothered about keeping this one as my achilles heel is a fretless - I am trying to switch to guitar though! I've played an unlined fretless before and you only look at the side of the neck anyway, a weeks practice and a lot of its down to muscle memory too so fear not! The change is minimal and less hassle than changing from a 34" to 35" scale or 4 to 6 strings in my experience and honest opinion. [color="#FF0000"]The pricing's in good old traditional basschat style (same as previous owner) at a keen £600 collected from Carlisle[/color] PM me to sort £20 P&P [color="#000080"]Closeup photos:[/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74025&hl=unlined+stingray"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...nlined+stingray[/url] [color="#000080"]Up to date photos from previous owners thread:[/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=115767&hl=unlined+stingray"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...nlined+stingray[/url] [color="#000080"]Pino Palladino comparison:[/color] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eugenevoorneman/4005858538/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/eugenevoorneman/4005858538/[/url] [color="#000080"]Tone and Paul Young Video just for fun:[/color] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BkGCkwJCWE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BkGCkwJCWE[/url] Edited February 12, 2011 by Schnozzalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 As Schnozzer's link shows I'm a previous owner of this. I really regret selling it, if I didn't have my 'fretless' cash tied up in a SR5 fretless - currently with Mr Shuker having a full service and set up, I might be turning it into cash to buy this back. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like postage is needed to get this one moving PMs replied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably have this off you if I could sell a couple of my basses and get some money. However, nothing is selling at the moment so I'm a bit stuck I'm afraid.

I was thinking of getting some TI's for it and wearing them into a warm dub tone Edited January 27, 2011 by Schnozzalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
