Captain Bassman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) I'm thinking of selling this beauty but just want to test the water first! I'll post some pics if there's genuine interest but we all know what a Stringray looks like (I hope!). It's absolutely mint, even though it has been used for gigging, and comes with the original ABS flightcase. Reason for sale - I just don't play it much anymore! And, I fancy one of those Sadowsky hybrid P-J thingies (UV Factor 50, or whatever they're called... ) or an old 70's P or J Bass . Let me know if there's any interest out there, good peeps of Basschat-world! Serious offers only too...

Kev Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) do you have a particular price in mind?? id say around £650-£750 would be what you should expect does it have the mutes on the bridge? Edited July 23, 2008 by BassManKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen used 'Ray prices mentioned a couple of other threads so had this price range in mind. Hadn't settled on a price as I wanted to test the market first. I'll try and get some pics posted later tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bassman Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sorry, mistake in my original post! It's a 2001 model! I bought it brand-spanking new from the Bass Centre in Birmingham in mid-2001. A shipment of 5 new 'Rays had literally just come in to the shop before I got there and all were still in their cardboard packaging. Had a great time with the sales chap unpacking them all to find one I liked - just like Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBomber414 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) A hushed Basschat awaits......... The pianist stops playing,conversation stops, all that can be heard is the creaking of the saloon doors in the wind.

I will do so tonight!! I'm only thinking of selling 'cos I really doesn't get used. It is a great bass, not too heavy and I've always loved the 'Ray sound. What I really fancy some old-school P bass low-end thump! Been listening to a lot of Rufus etc. lately and just lurve the sound of Bobby Watson's bass ('74 P I think?). How's about the nice little bass line he did on Wacko's Rock With You also? It's THAT sound I want!!! Anyway, back t'mill...more later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
