Jack Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Hello everyone, It is with great regret that I am listing my EBMM Stingray 5 for sale. 4 years ago I moved house, and temporarily stored all my belongings in my old room in my parents house. I never did move the Ray 5 back out, it's sat in it's case since then which I think says a lot about how much I play it. I just never got around the whole 5-string thing. My 4-string still gets played every day. When I first got it I played it a lot and tried to bond, so it has a few small marks. One on the b string side of the heel just along from the bridge and one tiny scratch on the headstock. Both of these are shown in the photos in this first post but I will get better photos of the imperfections when I go back to my mother's on Saturday. Apart from the one or two minor cosmetic marks mentioned it's a superb bass. It plays great with the sound, build quality, feel and consistency that MM are famous for. There's no hunting for a good one with MM like you do with Fender and there are no duds either, they're all amazing. It comes in its' original EBMM hardcase and has some of the case candy. It's currently strung with ancient EBMM Slinkys, I'd be happy to restring and get it set up professionally before you buy. I am the original owner and I distinctly remember picking it up on Valentine's Day 2004. It is serial number E01197, made 12/01/2004 and was notarized by EBMM in 2011 [url="http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-basses/1254-music-serial-database-406.html#post846669"]here[/url]. Sound Control in Newcastle ordered it via Strings and Things from EB themselves, this bass was literally built for me as at the time the maple board without the painted headstock was a difficult combo to find. I don't think the configurator on the EBMM site is still there, shame really. I live in Newcastle but I travel a lot with work. I can likely meet up in most major towns in the North East or Yorkshire and I travel to London a lot too. I would theoretically post it, but the onus would be on the buyer. I would be after the cash or there are a few items I would accept in trade or partial trade depending. EBMM Bongo 4 HH Ibanez Prestige or similar coffee table bass Warwick/Schecter type basses, big and growly Lakland DJ GK MB200 Tiny cab like a Crazy 8 or something 1RU Power amp 1RU Preamp The bass is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw.
