oldslapper Posted January 2, 2013 Share 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...

White Cloud Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Seriously tempted. Great price for a top drawer 5 fretless. What weight does it tip the scales at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby K Posted January 2, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
