bigsmokebass Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Hey BC'ers Looking to sell my bass to raise funds. I have tried to sell and trade this before, so a few people may be familiar with this but I'm in need of the money, not any more equipment. It's a 2010 MusicMan Stingray 5 in black, black pick guard and maple neck/frets. Single humbucker, just your everyday SR5 bass sound and feel. Need I say more?

[*]Preferably collected or delivered at buyers expense. [*]UK only [*]Paypal or cash on collection.

bigsmokebass Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) This bass is a BEAUT'!! i don't think the pictures do it much justice (although it lets you gather the finish) it fits like a glove to my prev SR5's and sound as awesome as ever. i dont need to butter this up at all, these basses have a reputation that talk for themselves and an array of current and past players to show how these beats work. unfortunately i keep taking this back every time i sell because it is soooo good but for the past 18 months i have never used the B string [sub]edit: spelling[/sub] Edited June 5, 2012 by bigsmokebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This is truly an outstanding bass at a very fair asking price. Given different times I'm sure it would have sold very quickly but just not at the moment. Money is tight with the vast majority of folks. The mere fact you have to sell this beauty to fund other purchases is an example of the situation which we all find ourselves in. Hang on in there as surely someone must, sooner or later, stretch themselves to give this bass a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Aye, I know the climate is in tatters and people don't have a penny to share and hence why I'm letting this go so cheap as I paid £1500 just over a year ago and I had this up at the beginning of the year for roughy £1150 with offers of my current asking price. I thought I could have had this sold within a few days to someone who can afford an appreciate it more than I do. Time can only tell what happens but thanks for the support BSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, do you have any more info on the bass' condition - it looks pretty much "as new" in the photos but it's sometimes a bit hard to tell. Cheers. By the way, where abouts in Shropshire are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be slight wear but it's never been gigged and only slightly used. I'm in Wellington, Telford. Thanks for the interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Honestly, if I had the money right now I'd take this. It's a wonderful price and clearly a wonderful instrument too. Best of luck with the sale, times are hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think you may regret this.....I love my SR5 and don't use the B string all that much but it's there if I need it, and what a B string it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of your G3 [/quote] That'd probably be the one I'd offer, if looking at deal. I have an SG, but it's staying. Still speculative at this moment - but any interest? If so, on what basis/what's the deal? Edited June 13, 2012 by Gust0o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
