nickcarey Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) [center][color="#FF0000"][size=5]USA Musicman 4 String Stringray Bass[/size][/color][b][/b] [size=4]Serial Number: 49385 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 3EQ (RRP £1,249.00) with MusicMan Hardcase You are looking at a pristine, as new condition, made to order, barely used Stingray in a beautiful ‘Translucent Gold’ finish. Nothing has been tampered with or changed. Having played different Musicman Stingrays I can genuinely say this bass has still got the original Musicman sound and more. I have tried older Musicmans and the punch from this one is immense. The design of the nut on these is much stronger than on older ones too. The condition of this bass is flawless. No fret wear, no nicks, no dings, no dents, no scratches, no flaws, no nothing, except perfection. It looks great, it sounds greats, it plays great, and it feels great. It is everything you could ever possibly want or expect in a Musicman. Musicmans build quality is exceptional. There no gaps between the neck and body and the action on this bass is low and comfortable. Comes packed as new with Musicman Cleaning Cloth & Warranty Card You are welcome to try the instrument first I am a bass tutor and am very careful with my gear, so everything described here is 100% accurate. Comes with: Receipt, Jim Dunlop Strap Locks, Musicman Cleaning Cloth & Manual Feel free to get some feedback on how mint this bass is from my one of my students who has tried it - NiceGuyHomer. Now reduced from [b][color="#FF0000"]£820[/color][/b] to [color="#FF0000"][b]£775[/b][/color] I would rather keep this fantastic bass to go with my collection but due to more recent expensive house repairs it has to go. If you would like some more photos emailed to you I will gladly do so. Further enquiries call/text 07931 315954 or email me. I will accept Pay Pal, Personal Cheque, Postal Order, Bankers Draft or Cash on Collection. As standard, if paying by any other method than cash on collection, all funds must be cleared before collection. Thanks for looking! Nick [/center][/size][/size] Edited April 1, 2008 by nickcarey
mic mac moe Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I can vouch for this bass!! Played it and stood in awe of it too!Good luck with the sale Nick.P.S Still have those soundclips we recorded?
nickcarey Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Mick, I can burn them on CD and give you a copy when I see you next. I'm finishing th teaching in Sheffield this week, so hopefully the wk after will be a good time to meet up N
niceguyhomer Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Yep - I can vouch for the bass being an absolute stunner and that it's in as-new condition. Nick's a gent - buy with confidence.
nickcarey Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 I have had a thought that I might aswell include two sample tracks that were recorded with this Stingray. These were put together with the versatile Mr Mic Mac Moe kindly playing the drums. The Mixing EQ is not great on these tracks but the Musicman still cuts through like a knife. Enjoy, Nick
mathewsanchez Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I think that finish is trans gold. There's a trans orange ray a bit further down the for sale page if you want to see the difference.

Check out the Musicman website. Thanks for your interest. Nick

I have a trans orange stingray and it looks like this:
Quatschmacher Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry to hijack - are those EB flats in the picture (and the recording)? What gauge?
Perry Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hey have you looked close at the pic of the 3 band EQ, look at the reflection - LMAO!

What gauge?[/quote] It has Rotosound Nickel Roundwounds fitted. 45-105 Simple strings, simple sound!
nickcarey Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 I have now reduced this from[color="#FF0000"] £820[/color] to [color="#FF0000"]£775[/color] Some lucky player is going to get an as new bass for a bargain price! This bass has barely been used as I teach with another bass. Any qs. feel free to ask Nick
nickcarey Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 [quote name='dlloyd' post='164368' date='Mar 27 2008, 11:14 AM']That's a beauty! Looks just like my old one apart from the rosewood fingerboard. Thought it was a one piece body before I saw the edge... they're pretty good at matching grain, aren't they?[/quote] Thanks for your compliment. I'm amazed at the quality of Musicman Basses for the money. They are as good if not better than some expensive exotic makes. I wish I could keep this beauty but it's down to not really needing it. I have been far too sensible and whittled down my collection to two Jazz basses over the last couple of years. I used to have errr quite a few, oooops! I've become a disciplinarian (if there's such as word) and decided to only keep basses and gear I use regularly. Nick
