nottswarwick Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) So, I am hankering after a Stingray 5 and have seen something I fancy. However, in order to get it I need to sell this baby [IMG]http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/chrispidgeon/Basses%20for%20sale%202013/image_zpsaeba2bbf.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/chrispidgeon/Basses%20for%20sale%202013/image_zpsed794ff2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/chrispidgeon/Basses%20for%20sale%202013/image_zps879e1b0c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/chrispidgeon/Basses%20for%20sale%202013/image_zps8a76ddc3.jpg[/IMG] I bought it new from Bass Direct in 2012. It sounds really nice, and plays even better. The addition of the full USA bartolini pickups improves upon an already excellent package, and makes it a truly pro instrument. I entrusted this work to a highly regarded local luthier, and as ever they did a super job. It looks great, has a brilliant range of tones, and is pretty light to boot. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MTD_KZ4_CherryB.html is the new unmodified version for sale at the moment. I think the modifications make it like a 4 string version of the model above this the ZX5. I still have the original factory pups and pre which will be included in the sale should you wish to return it to standard, although I think it is much better now anyway. Hard to put a value on this really. Without the mods they are £700 new. Obviously more with the mods, although clearly it is a buyers market. I wonder if £550 is a reasonable starting point? I think great value at this price. Edited March 6, 2013 by nottswarwick

bassmeg Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Wonderful basses. Good looking gret to play and sound awesome.
nottswarwick Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Well, I am keeping this for now at least. It is too nice to sell for way below what it is actually worth, so it is staying.
