mrtcat Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Following a spur of the minute purchase on here I am having to raise some funds so I'm selling off a few basses. Here we have a copy of a Stingray. It's been pretty well done and I'd suspect, judging by the logo quality that it's come from a chinese factory or similar. It has a SD Basslines pickup and a John East MM preamp which I added earlier this year (£160 just for the preamp). It's the three band three knob preamp and it's absolutely brilliant. Takes a single 9v battery just like a regular stingray. I have used this bass loads for pub gigs etc where I'd rather not take £1000 worth of guitar out. It is really versatile thanks to the pre and it sounds exactly like a stingray should. It has a nice action and luminlay side dots fitted. You can see the fitting of the Luminlay dots here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248555-luminlay-fret-markers-fitted/page__p__2599684__hl__luminlay__fromsearch__1#entry2599684"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2599684[/url] you can hear clips of the bass here [url="https://soundcloud.com/tom-caswell-3/sets/stingray-demo"]https://soundcloud.c...s/stingray-demo[/url] No hard case I'm afraid but I do have Thomann gig bag and a decent box to post in. I have the box for the John East pre and the original controls if you wanted to remove the preamp and put the old controls back in. Asking £250 ono and will post it packed in the softcase and a proper guitar box box at buyers expense. You're welcome to come try it out.

I've used it lots but I now have 8 basses here which is ludicrous and I just offered on a cab so this and a couple others are up for sale.

Mark_ii Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 [sup]Sorry, second question:[/sup] [sup]Is the action high or low ? Does the neck feel like a regular Stingray or is it slimmer or chunkier[/sup] ?

[/quote] No problem, it'll come back with a nice preamp! [quote name='Mark_ii' timestamp='1442500819' post='2867381'] What weight is it please ? [/quote] It's not the lightest at 10.3lbs which is 4.7kg in today's money [quote name='Mark_ii' timestamp='1442501018' post='2867385'] [sup]Sorry, second question:[/sup] [sup]Is the action high or low ? Does the neck feel like a regular Stingray or is it slimmer or chunkier[/sup] ? [/quote] I'd describe it as a medium action at the moment (2.4mm between fret and E string at 21st fret, 2.1mm at 12th fret). The neck is very much like a stingray, not as chunky as a P bass but much chunkier than a Jazz. [attachment=200913:IMG_7124.JPG] [attachment=200914:IMG_7125.JPG]
mrtcat Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1442589250' post='2868060'] Any sound clips?thanx [/quote] I'll try to record something over the weekend and put a link up.
mrtcat Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Three quickly recorded sound samples. All recorded from the DI in the back of my GB STM (all knobs set at 12pm no overdrive). Apologies for my playing - I had no idea what to play lol https://soundcloud.com/tom-caswell-3/sets/stingray-demo Hope that helps Edited September 24, 2015 by mrtcat
