mrtcat Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Musicman Stingray 5HH in honeyburst with rosewood fretboard. A total joy to play and beautiful to look at. I took this in a trade from a really nice BCer and I'd love to keep it but I I'm just not using it as much as I'd hoped I would. It weights 4.9kg / 10.8lbs. It's set up really nicely with a low action and being the HH model it's ridiculously versatile. There is a small chip in the rear by the strap pin, other than that it's in really really good condition. I requested the details of manufacture from the Ernie Ball forum and here's the brief details they sent: [color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]This StingRay 5 HH was completed on March 28th, 2006. The color is honey burst with the rosewood fretboard and shell pickguard. It was originally shipped to Guitar Center.[/size][/font][/color] That sounds spot on as the previous owner bought it in the states during a trip there. This is no longer an urgent sale so I have removed the ridiculously low price that I was offering for it last week and am looking for offers over £900. I'm really happy for potential buyers to come and play. I have a studio with nice amps where you can make as much noise as you want for as long as you want and I'll keep the tea / coffee and biscuits coming. If a buyer wants this sent via courier I will happily package it up ready for collection but the buyer must arrange the courier themselves as I'd be terrified taking responsibility for this in the hands of UPS / Parcelforce etc. I can however deliver within 100 miles of Silverstone Northants for free and can discuss further afield for fuel money. Price is £1000 ovno. [b]TRADES[/b] I will only consider the following and may be able to add a little cash for the right thing: Aguilar DB 750 / 751 Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 string A really nice P bass (doesn't have to be fender but does have to be lovely) Please feel free to ask any questions!

mrtcat Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks Karl, People I'm after something of karl's so will reduce this to £850 for a super quick sale which I think is a silly price for such a great bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammybee Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't normally like SR5's but this looks very special and very well priced. Wish I had the space for it. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I wish I could afford this, but I couldn't justify another SR5 HH. Have a bump for the best value, most stunning bass for sale on bc at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 God fricking damn it. This is within decent driving range of my house. If it's still here after the bass show and I didn't get anything... This would be hard to resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 To put this in perspective, these are probably around £1700 + now to order in the UK. I have a similar spec with maple fretboard and it is a beautiful instrument. Honeyburst is now discontinued - not sure why but I think it was another colour that was a little more expensive. HH + tort guard makes it an expensive spec - good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if this finish is your bag, looks like you won't be able to get a new one. So, buy it now peeps ESPECIALLY at this price!

mrtcat Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Bumping this up. It is now no longer an urgent sale as I have rounded up enough cash to buy what I wanted from Karlfer. I have therefore adjusted the price to something a little more sensible and added possible trade options. I'm not even remotely desperate to sell and will happily keep but may be tempted to part with it for the right deal. Looking for an offer over £900 or trades as listed in 1st post. Thanks to everyone above for the really nice comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
