SOLD: Musicman Stingray Classic 5 - Black/Maple

[danweb22]

[s]Bought this from Russ on here last week on a bit of a whim and need to reclaim some cash for something else I have my eye on (damn GAS!)

These really are awesome basses, with all the Pre EB features (2 band preamp, string through body, mutes, slab body)

Excellent condition apart from a very small ding on the top part of the body which I didn't notice until it came to take some pictures!

Comes with original hardcase in excellent condition

I removed the mute assembly so I could get the action super low, this just bolts back on with the 5 screws you can see on the bridge

Looking for [size=5]£1250[/size] o.n.o. and I will throw in the postage for that as well (UK)[/s]

absolute dream bass

I acquired one of these very basses in Tobacco Sunburst a few months ago from another BC'er, and it's a fabulous instrument. My first 'decent' bass which I bought second hand in 1981 was a pre-Ernie Ball Stingray, which I foolishly sold some years later when in dire financial straits. The Classic is so reminiscent of it - the lacquered neck, through stringing, slab body, string dampers are all great, but more importantly, for me it has that elusive juiciness that most SR5's seem to lack, and I've owned a few. Playing my Classic is like snogging an old girlfriend...

I can't recommend it highly enough - if it appeals to you on any level, BUY IT. You will not be disappointed!

Think I am going to keep this now and sell my Fender Precision instead!

I can't justify yet another MM but as it's a question that others may be interested to know, what does this beauty weigh?

Thanks

This weighs in a 9.5lbs, pretty light for a MM 5 I think!

[Rumple]

Trade pending

[naruki]

This still for sale?

[rumour6]

LOVE!!! the look of these and it's MY finish so a letter to my bank manager would be much appreciated...
I think this design blows away the usual Ray5, always wondered why they didn't do it before now... if you ever need it 'stored' indefinately.....
