I have a number of basses that reluctantly will be for sale, and sorry im not really interested in trades, Ernie Ball Ltd Edition music man 20th anniversary stingray SNo 189 Maple neck. Flame maple neck and quilted maple top. In my view the prettiest of the anniversary models, although I would say that wouldnt I. Bought new by me, there are two very small blemishes on the back ,and a small dent by the jack plug socket. It shows up in the flash photo, but really you can feel it not see it. Otherwise in very good condition. The tuners are nickel and show some signs of ageing.

rhysyjob Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I love this bass, drool. Dreamed of having one as a teenager. Alas the rack is full, but damn damn she's pretty. GLWTS
OutSpoon Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 That is beautiful. I have a Stingray that I bought in 94 when I was 21, awesome instruments.
OutSpoon Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 @shakaflea - if that question is to me; I paid 1350 GBP for my Stingray in 1994. Back then, that was a lot of money ;-)

tom1946 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Do you know the weight please? Absolutely gorgeous bass, looks incapable of playing bumnotes (runs and hides )
bumnote Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 It weighs just under 9 lbs on my scales. Unfortunately this, as do all the other basses I have ever known, does occasionally produce a note that is not how the composer intended. Usually accompanied with with a smug smile from the other side of the stage. I have tried new strings, amps, straps, and the only thing that seems to help is if I practise, and avoid letching, I mean looking at some of the members of the audience.
bumnote Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 My wife has insinuated I am making no effort to sell this bass so a bump to the top [how dare she?]
