stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Ah same seller! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MUSICMAN-VINTAGE-BRIDGE-MUTED-SPRING-PAD-OLD-STOCK-RARE-/120793041217?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1c1fd38941"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MUSICMAN-VINTAGE-BRIDGE-MUTED-SPRING-PAD-OLD-STOCK-RARE-/120793041217?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1c1fd38941[/url] These are £25 from BassDirect or Strings&Things including the Thumb screws which granted are smaller on new Rays but the bit he is selling is the same so save £95 and get 4 free thumb screws it is them, Im not even sure that an old one anyway?......

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Its one of those things I would like after seeing the one in the pre EB thread Mark but I cant really decide what I would pay for one? Not £85 Im certain but what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Half of that is all that I would pay! It's nice but not that special!!

gerryc Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Somebody will be daft enough to pay that much, you can be sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thats what I was thinking Mark about half, but you are probably right gerryc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) This man screams "chancer" to me. He's the sort of bloke who will try offering you £500 for your 5 year old honda CBR125RR and then try flogging you a vintage 1960s pre CBS fender pick for the same money.

Happy Jack Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 This is not the best photo of my 1964 Hofner 500/7 but it's the best one of the original strap that came with it. [IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Hofner%20500%207%201964%20CURRENT/50071964XStrap1.jpg[/IMG] A shop in Denmark Street (Regent Sounds) offered me £50 on the spot for the strap, so you can be sure it's worth at least double that. If these 78/79 Musicman straps are incredibly rare, and the basses themselves in the £1000 bracket, then this price doesn't strike me as particularly outrageous.

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 You would do well to get a 78 stingray for a £1000 so it must be worth £150 by that method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
