ON HOLD - 2003 Musicman Stingray 3 EQ with 2 Necks - Gloss Maple & Status Graphite £1000

[Bassulike66]

Hi All,

Selling this beast as something else has caught my attention, purchased 6/7 weeks ago from Deedee, (some text taken from Deedee's original ad hope he doesn't mind).

Bass sounds as god intended it to and only has minor signs of wear. Both necks feel and play beautifully, electronics are free from issue and are fully functional.

For sale only, no trades please.

[u]Original Maple Neck[/u]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]As you are aware MM [/color]neck[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]s haven’t been gloss for many years. However, after falling in love [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]with[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] the gloss finish on the Fender P I had at the time I looked into getting this refinished. Horizontalste had recently had the [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]neck[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] of his ‘ray refinished by Jon Shuker and was very happy to recommend him. So, off to Mr Shuker it went for a tinted gloss lacquer finish. This included a complete re-fret and new nut. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The results are stunning and that black and ‘enhanced’ maple combination is pretty much hard to beat.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As you’d expect the [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]neck[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] is in mint condition. [/font][/color]

[u]Status [color=#000000]neck [/color][/u]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’d heard many good things about pairing a [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]graphite neck with a Stingray so I’ve given that a go too. To be honest, I do really like the combination and it plays beautifully. Also looks real 'stealth' [/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. [/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This neck was previously fitted to an OLP Stingray and the tuners that are currently fitted are from that bass.[/font]


[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So, there you have it, a beast of a bass with 2 necks.[/font]

I would be keeping it but a GAS curse has the better me!

Comes with MM hard case.

Collection or local-ish meet up preferred, don't mind an hours drive out to accommodate. Bass location WS15 1EJ.

Or buyer can arrange and pay for their own shipping.

Glorious looking bass with EITHER neck

[walshy]

Sure is 😉

'Tis a gorgeous bass with either neck.

Tbh I thought I'd moved on to P basses 100% but after only a few weeks I realised I need a MM in my life and subsequently succumbed to buying another gorgeous 'ray 😁.

Black and maple I hope. I think the best combination 👍

Went for rosewood this time with a rather lovely translucent gold body (from these very pages of course).

I had a gorgeous honeyburst and rosewood 2005 model once that I regretted letting go, so hopefully this one will fill the void.

Oh think I spied that one too. Can't beat a Ray mate. Once you've had one... hope you enjoy the new one as much 👍
