oldslapper Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) 1989 Stingray fretless 5 string in honeyburst. Pau ferro board on a very pretty maple figured neck. Strung with new flatwounds and fitted some straplocks recently. Comes in hard shell case (not MM). Lovely bass, very good condition, albeit a tiny scratch on tip of headstock. Really don't play electric bass much these days, just concentrating on songwriting, so this is the last of my "nice" basses to go. Here's some pics taken in poor lighting.

PayPal if you pay fees, or cash. As I said I don't play bass much, but am keeping a P bass for recording...however I could be persuaded to trade for a 6 string guitar (semi-hollow?) or another fretless plus cash, but the likelyhood is it won't get played anyway, but try me. Could deliver/meet up as far as Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Bristol, Exeter for petrol costs. Happy new year... Edited January 3, 2013 by oldslapper
Ashborygirl Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Superb bass & the price is frankly nuts! This won't last long.

White Cloud Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Seriously tempted. Great price for a top drawer 5 fretless. What weight does it tip the scales at?
Bobby K Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Incredible bargain!! I really miss my old fretless 5 'Ray, someone is gonna love this. Beautiful maple on the neck there!
MikeBass Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 if this was fretted I'd seriously have to have it! my '89 SR4 is amazing and I have serious gas for an SR5 - just dont need another fretless. lovely bass!

[/quote] After a serious back injury 5 yrs ago anything in the region of 10lbs hurts me for any length of time, therefore SR5's arent usually on my radar...but this is such a good deal and I have been looking for a 5 string fretless. Might have to really think about this.

skidder652003 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 oh god, please wait a little while!.......
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I guess this the rarer alnico pickup version too being an 89? If I could get it past the wife if love it
oldslapper Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Lots of interest, making me think I should hold onto it.
hubrad Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I was just thinking that unless you really must move it on that should be a keeper!
