SOLD!!! Musicman Stingray 4 string - ultra rare colour, great player and all the right modifications done £1200

[Mudpup]

NOW SOLD.....

[size=4]I know i'm going to regret this but i have a one in/one out policy and Santa just delivered a new bass so something has to go...it's painful[/size]

Its £1200 collected from Essex/Herts/London - i make good tea and have decent gear so you can try it out (and i have a headphone setup for later evenings).

I can meet in the same area and also Cambs, London or Kent by arrangement if you want to try it out with your gear.

I won't courier it, send it abroad or take any trades of any sort - its a cash sale via bank transfer or real money only to help pay for my new bass so please don't ask....

Ok, heres the spec -

[u]2001 USA Musicman Stingray 4 string[/u]

Maple neck with matched headstock. The neck feels skinnier than the usual Stingray neck (I have a '97 to compare it with and this feels smaller). Its not SLO or Sterling skinny width but its not as deep as those ones either. It just feels easier to play than most Stingrays but doesn't cramp your hands up either (i had a Sterling and found it a bit cramped after a while)

The weight is 4.1 kilos or 9.1 lbs - on the light side for a 'ray.

Autumn Redburst Sparkle - I've only ever seen 1 other, a 5 string, for sale in the UK. If you search our American equivalent site for the colour, there are about 2 on there. This was ordered as a custom order for the german distributor and i bought it from a shop over there. Its an immense looking colour, subtle yet eye catching under lights and its ultra rare.

I have had a John East MMSR 3 band eq with sweepable mids professionally installed. The original Musicman 3 eq system is also included in the sale - you can put it back to stock spec easily if you prefer. The East preamp gives it more warmth and takes a little of the aggression away imho - a bit closer to a 2eq sound really but with control over the mids. Set with mids slightly cut you effectively have a classic 2 band system. Cut the bass and crank the mids and you have the traditional 3 band sound.
The East currently costs £157.

A Hipshot detuner is fitted - the original tuner is also included the sale. Current cost is about £80 if you hunt about.

Condition is almost perfect apart from 2 small lacquer chips (one on the lower edge and one on the top edge centre) and a tarnished jack socket. This was all on the bass when i bought it. There is no buckle rash and apart from the 2 chips it would be a 10/10. There are no known issues, the electrics are bob on, the neck and frets are perfect and the trussrod is fine.

Comes with a gig bag, Schaller strap buttons and new strings fitted last week

Heres some pics - some are done with flash to try and show the sparkle but its more pronounced under stage lighting. You can see the 2 dinks.

If you need any more info/pics please PM me for a chat/phone call

Thanks for looking......
