Mylkinut Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I've been hanging around here for a while gassing away, but I think it's time to take the plunge and sell my Stingray. It was my dream bass but times and tastes have changed. The bass' serial no. is E36813, dating it to mid-2003 and I've owned it since then. It comes with the original hardcase and all the candy you could want It was my first 'good' bass and it's been treasured; accordingly it's in great condition. Three things need mentioning: firstly (and worstly...?) it recieved a fingernail-sized chip to the front thanks to a complex accident caused by my cat. It's between the pickguard and the chrome control plate. I had it professionally repaired by Brian Hayward in Winchester, he's done a great job of filling it in and it's not noticeable from more than a foot away. Secondly, there's a small scuff to the top edge of the bass, just where your arm rests, about 2cm long by 1cm. Again, it's not noticeable. Finally, there's a 1cm long scratch to the surface near the battery cover on the back. I've included 'warts and all' pictures of all the damage, other than that it's in perfect condition. Not bad for an eight year old bass that's been played. The bass is now yours for [s]800 [/s][s]750 [/s][s]730 [/s][s]700 [/s][s]690 [/s]£680. The only trade I'd really consider is for a nice USA P-Bass (pref black or white). Oh, and if you're worried about my newbieness, I've got great feedback on ebay under Mylkinut. I'm based in Southampton but I can move about a bit if needed. I'm also happy to post.

Mylkinut Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Ooh, hadn't thought of a Bongo. I've not played one before, do you have any pictures/recordings?
cocco Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Yeah I have pics but no recordings sadly, pm me your email address and I'll send you some filth
Al Heeley Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 gorgeous - my all time favourite benchmark iconic bass, have a bump, i already have one and the wife won't let me have another.
Mylkinut Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 Cheers for the bump - you sure she doesn't want one for herself?
Mylkinut Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Now no longer accepting trade offers, as brilliant as they all were. Need money
Mylkinut Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Now £730 OVNO. I'll also take a white Stingray 4 as a trade. I've got my own complicated reasons for this. So, feel like colour swapping?
lewisbassplayer Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 i would be intrested in buying this of you im new to this site and i dont really know how to work it i have a rickenbacker 4001 which i would be willing to do some kind of trade
Mylkinut Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 Ah, let me enlighten you I'll send you a PM now, it'll show up in your messages section (at the top-right of the page there's a 'new messages' button). We can message each other that way, it's just nicer to keep negotations private I find
Mylkinut Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 The bass is for sale again - £750 ono. I may take a newish black/black/maple USA P-Bass in good condition as a trade, but would have to think about it (unless you want to send a tiny amount of money my way, I know it's petty but money's tight )

Mylkinut Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Just had a deal fall through at the last minute (but it happened with good reason). As a result you lucky gentlemen have a price drop, now yours for £700. Very much after a newish black/maple USA P-Bass as a trade.
Mylkinut Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) B-b-b-bump... feel free to make me offers! Edited July 13, 2011 by Mylkinut
Shawman Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) how about a trade for a bunch of rosewood necks? as i can see how much you love them have a bump Edited July 13, 2011 by Shawman
Mylkinut Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Unless it's on a Ric it's kindling Edited July 13, 2011 by Mylkinut
Crikey! Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 This is the exact bass that i'll be buying... in a few months time when i have the money. Unless you do payment plans...
