Rayman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I'm looking to move my SR5 on. I'm totally in love with the 4 stringer, and this one, as much as I love it, just isn't being used. Black body, rosewood neck (looks like ebony, very dark) and a matching black headstock. I don't know the age, but I'd guess it's only a handful of years old, if that. Got to be honest, I just don't do black anymore, it's just too..........black. Superb condition, superb, tone and a superb player. Bigger and [i]darker[/i] sounding than my 4 stringer, it's a real cracker. A few light scratches on the pickguard, but I can't find any marks on the body. There's no case, so I'd rather meet if possible, I can get across a fair bit of the country within reason. Price, dunno........what are they going for now? £900? Trade bait.....I'm after a 4 string Fender Jazz to go with the 4 string Stingray. Or, I could be tempted by a Bongo, never had one. NOW TRADED !!!! Edited January 29, 2012 by Rayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayben Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It looks superb! Shame I'm not a fan of 5's really, otherwise I'd be pushing you for a part exchange or something, esp. considering how close you are.. Off-topic, but I see you're in Macc - are you familiar with Shackley Motorcycles? The guy's son is my drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Don't know Shackleys, although the name rings a bell. I'm trying to think where there's a bike shop in Macc.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks for the nice comments. I've had a few Stingrays, and this one is right up there with the best of them for sure. Stealth Bongo eh? A mate of mine had one a few years back, lovely basses. I've never owned a bongo, but a few mates have, and I've been impressed with them all.

ezbass Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Wow that was quick! But it was a lovely bass at a sensible price, so no really surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
