Marshy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Hi, My Musicman Stringray 5 has to go. I bought it a few years ago because I've lusted after Stingrays for some time. Probably Tony Levin's fault... Anyhoo, it doesn't really "fit" with what I do, my shower room needs replacing, and I'm really a 4-stringer at heart. Hence, it's only been lightly used and is unmarked. Unless it gets demerits for fingerprints on the tuners and pickguard from when I last restrung it... Spec is: teal green body, black pickguard, maple neck and fingerboard, single pickup with 3 band active EQ. Comes with the original hard case. I'm a bit queasy about an asking price. I think I paid something like 1400 for it, and it *really is* unmarked, so.... er... £850? (Please don't hurt me...) (Edited to add: would prefer collection over postage with something of this value. May consider a meet halfway deal. I'm near Cambridge.)

However, it won't get me clean every morning. I realise that, in this world, cleanliness hardly rates a mention next to tectonic-plate-threatening tone, but hey, people will start to complain about the smell if I don't do *something* about the shower.

Marshy Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Kev - thanks. Regrettably, you seem to be well provided for in the Stingray department. Although, like kittens, I do wonder if they're happier in pairs. What do you think? OTPJ: I'll get better pictures soon - keep the nose close by...
