Humph Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, trying to raise some funds for a beauty of an Alembic being sold on here, so this has to go. This was my first real bass, a great sounding Stringray 4. It's been unfortunately neglected since I got the SR 20th anniversary 5 string a couple of years ago. It's in a rare Sienna Sunburst finish, with a black pickguard and rosewood fretboard. More pics can be requested but might take a day or two (the bass is kept at my local church, where I leave it as a backup bass any time I can't play - I don't have a key to get in so would have to wait til the weekend haha). This bass was bought new in 2004 for £1700 - a lot higher than the price tag today. In my local music shop they're down to £1400 for the 3EQs. Considering this I'd like offers of [s]£1000[/s] [s]£950[/s] [s]£850[/s] £800 mark. Trades are unfortunately out, as this is purely to finance another bass. Bass is in pristine condition, all electrics work and frets are in good condition. All in all a fantastic instrument. Located in Belfast, NI. Feel free to ask to see/try the bass if you're local. I can ship or drive to meet within a few hours of Belfast. [attachment=112295:008.jpg] [attachment=112296:009.jpg] Edited July 9, 2012 by Humph
Humph Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Added pics of the bass. More on request I'd love to sell this quickly, all offers will be considered!
Humph Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 I need a quick sale so final price drop to £850. I honestly think this instrument is worth more!
Humph Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Still for sale and dropped to £800 after a deal falling through tonight.
Humph Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 I've noticed a lot of other Stingrays are getting replies yet this topic has been left untouched - is it a lack of pictures or because I have no posts? I can provide more pics or proof of genuineness if needs be. I'd really like to try and sell it this week.

[/quote] Some more pics wouldn't harm your sale plus you started out with unrealistic expectations of the current market (check out those other threads for an idea of where the market is just now). Apart from that it's just a waiting game until the right buyer comes along mate. If you want a quick sale you'll have to pick a price that's too good to refuse.
Humph Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks for the feedback Ou7shined. I was a bit worried that people were being put off because I'm a new seller. To be honest I never part with guitars, this is the first I've had to sell. I'll try and get some more pictures in the next day or two. Thanks again
