risingson Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) [b]Now for sale!![/b] A really, really nice Musicman Stingray 5, black/black/maple, 2010. It's spotless, no dings, no wear and comes with a Ernie Ball hard case. It is rock solid, a lovely example of one of the most distinctive sounding and distinctive looking 5 strings of all time. It's a 2010 model with [b]alnico[/b] magnets in the pickups, for those who are interested the pickup is far closer sounding to the Stingray 4 string rather than the earlier models of the Stingray 5 string which featured [b]ceramic [/b]pickups. My preference is towards the alnico pickup, simply because it gives the bass the character of a real Stingray as opposed to sounding closer to a Musicman Sterling which features a ceramic pickup and a harsher sound. Classic Stingray tones all the way, this really does do a blinding job of everything you throw at it. [b]£1050[/b], based on the Wirral, pickup from the Wirral or Liverpool preferable but a meet can possibly be arranged. These fetch near enough £1500 new right now and this thing looks like it's come straight out the shop! Will also now consider 60's style P-Basses (Fender Vintage reissues) as trades. Feel free to PM me any questions you might have and I'll answer as very best as I can. Thanks guys!

risingson Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Bump, thanks for the interest so far. Appreciate it's a long shot with the trade I'm after but there may be a chance I'll open it up to a sale at a later date.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You will miss that B string you know, the Sadowsky 5 strings are just as nice imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I know, I just don't fancy the B string right now as my main bass, which it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_riffs Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Liam is a good mate and all round top bloke. As for this bass, its a beauty!!!! I was lucky enough to play it last week and it doesnt disapoint one bit. Big, powerful and rich tone. Who ever gets their hands on this beast will be a happy chappy.

risingson Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Cheers Matt! Let's keep the interest rolling. PM me if you'd like to discuss the possibilities of owning this wondrous instrument. Seen a few Rays come up for sale recently, not that many 5's and none of them this spotless.

risingson Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Bump! Will now consider trades for P-Basses, U.S vintage series (or alike) as well as perhaps the right vintage series Jazz (olympic white, concentric pots). Hit me up with your possible trades.
