ryancowell25 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Acquired this beautiful bass recently. However I'm finding I'm just not using it that much and tend to use my electric upright more. Therefore I'm considering trading it on for something with frets. I'll consider anything even another Musican. Just send me a PM. [size=5]I have had some interest in a trade for this bass but have now considered offering a number of trade options. I am now willing to trade on my EBS based pedal board as part of a job lot with the Stingray for something special, OR just the Pedal Board OR just the Stingray. All offers are welcome I know it seems a bit odd but i've just purchased a VB99 and it covers all of my effects needs in a very lightweight package. I have made a rule for myself that this year any bass gear I have that sits and gathers dust should be moved on and played, life is too short. I'd like to go down the trade route as the market is horrible out there on the forums and I hate to think that people are losing value on great stuff. Think of it as an option to get something nice then sell on at value when things pick up. I'm not willing to split the board up as its a pain and it took me ages to put it together, it comes as a trade. I will swap out the TC Electronic tuner for a Boss Chromatic depending on preferance of potential trader. The board consists of - Compressor IQ (Envelope filter) Chorus Octaver Wah Tuner (The most important effects pedal of them all , TC electronic or Boss chromatic, its your choice) Valve drive (used in my current set up as a pre-amp) Ebs Microbass 2 (used as bass DI in my current set up) Everything is Velcro'd and it all lives in a pedal train case sitting on a pedal train board. All connectors are planet waves. Everything is powered on board by a single lightweight supply but the valve drive has a separate power supply. The Valve drive currently has a very expensive 80's valve in it from Watford Valves, but I also have the original as well which I can include. PM me any questions [/size] Thanks as for the Stingray - A quick description taken from when it was on sale at Bass Direct Purchased in 1992 and owned by the original buyer since this is a great example of a fretless five string Musicman Stingray. The original Pau Ferro fingerboard was changed in 1993 by John Diggins of JD to the current beautiful piece of Ebony with maple stained fret markers and high polish polyester finish. The fingerboard has been re-polished since it was originally fitted and the whole bass is in very good condition with no missing paint finish and no rust on the fittings. The back of the highly figured bird's eye maple neck has been finished in a high polish finish to match the fingerboard. The unique bass has a wonderful feel and tone due to the Ebony fingerboard. This bass comes with the original fitted hard case. NEW PICTURES ADDED Edited March 9, 2011 by ryancowell25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancowell25 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks It is a lovely example of a Stingray, i'm just not feeling the fretless right now. I have a sneaky suspicion if I move it on then i'm going to regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shemeckfrac Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't suppose you'd be interested in trading it for 4 string Music Man Sabre (70's) similar to this one?

carlsim Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) I could be very interested in this if a 5 string mexican jazz bass (as new in a gig bag) with some cash is of any interest???? Edited February 16, 2011 by carlsim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for the offer but i'll have to politely decline I already have a 75 reissue Jazz which covers all my Fender based needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Another bump after offers of trade falling through (again) I've had two really nice offers of basses that i'd really like strung out over 5 to 7 day periods then withdrawn, in the meantime i'm holding out on genuine trades from people that are open and honest about their gear.
