Shockwave Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) More pics at bottom of the thread! Has been my main gigging bass for a while. Its got a lovely flamed maple neck. Used to have a Bartolini but now is wired with a Nordstrand 5.2 pickup. The wiring is slightly different to the average SR5, Most have a triple coil pickup, This one has a dual coil pup, So instead of having a nasal tone in the mid position it has a very dark and dubby sound. The other positions sound exactly as they should. Trans red with black pearloid guard. Its got a huge sound and plays brilliantly. Comes with a Hiscox Liteflite case worth lots. Was born on 6 April 2001 and was originally sold to Guitar Center in Rockville, MD. Would rather this bass was picked up from Bristol. Postage would be used as a last resort. Would prefer a part ex for a nice US jazz and some money. Might consider a Stingray 4 string with the original style bridge. Rob. Edited December 19, 2008 by Shockwave

Something with a really low action, Decent tone... Maybe a 5 string. Pretty open about things. Wouldnt mind a 53' reissue in 2 tone sunburst, or a G&L L1000 plus some cash.

Wayward-Wanderer Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Got any pics of the 4 string? Loving the sterling. Nice bass

slaphappygarry Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Ok, no bother. The body is only a cosmetic alteration and the john east is an upgrade. It still has the passive (stock) sound of the instrument. Best of luck
Douglas Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I've seen that Hello Kitty air freshner before! Well the one in the picture from some posts on UG (Asmodai or something righ?) And very nice MM would offer but it would be a good few months before getting that kinda cash together
joe_bass Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Would you be interested in selling the pickguard seperately? If you have the original to stick back on of course! Edited November 26, 2008 by joe_bass

bottomfeed Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Well I was thinking that I would be looking for a[b] G & L[/b] L-2500 in the new year (as a spare/change from my stingray5) if you've still got it early next year... I'll consider it then.......

Shockwave Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Well i havent had any phonecalls or emails from the buyer when he said he would do so, So i am putting this back up for sale! Edited December 1, 2008 by Shockwave
Rowbee Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I hate when that happens, have a bump on me. It's a beautiful bass and it was even more beautiful when I saw it for real - in fact, you can just about see the Sterling I bought from you next to it in the first pic.
steve-soar Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 That's a great price and a ton of a bass to boot.
cgordonfreeman Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Would you be interested in my Valenti #11 for the Stingray? It's a P shape with Nordstrands and an OBP-1. Full spec on Valenti website. I'll post pics and full details later if interested. Cheers, John
