Gary Williams Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) This is a heartbreaker but sadly needs to be moved on. I bought this 2004 Music Man Stingray 5 from new in beautiful Teal blue. In my opinion, these basses have the best B string I have heard. The bass came originally with black scratchplate, knobs and pickup cover but I converted these to white as I thought it looked nicer. (Black knobs & pickup cover also included in the sale) The wooden neck/frets have had very little use as I added a Status Graphite neck pretty soon after I bought it which was my plan. Beautiful condition with very slight swirls and comes with the original hardcase. Set up with a "medium" action to keep the B nice and clear. Strings (Elixir) are fairly old but perfectly fine. Fitted with Ernie Ball Straplocks but I will throw in a set of chrome Schaller straplocks too. For safety and peace of mind, I'd prefer pickup only, but if needs must I can post UK mainland. I am based in West Sussex, 30 minutes from Gatwick. Price: £1250.00 ** NO TRADES PLEASE ** I'll let the pics do the talking...

Gary Williams Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I meant to say, apologies for the flies on the scratchplate, for some reason, they seemed to like landing on it while I was taking pics :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Williams Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for the comments chaps. Forgot to add, the w[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]eight is 4.9KG / 10.8lbs but I can honestly say I have never thought of it as a heavy bass. Hangs just right.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
