theCOO Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) 28 high res photos can be found here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aqs1wvM2VoRL5WyjtYZt0QgB5RQY?e=Qlo9um The time has come to part ways with my beloved StingRay. Bought new in 1995 with the entirety of that years student loan, I literally went hungry for this bass! Gigged regularly over the next few years, it was my pride and joy and I did my best to look after it. But while fame and fortune eluded me, the trials and tribulations of a regular life did not, so the StingRay was eventually side-lined, even more so in years to come when I developed a preference for Jazz basses. So here we are. As much as I would like to keep the StingRay for sentimental reasons, it’s a waste of a great bass. Finish is Transparent Teal. Weight is 4.1kg. Condition is very good for its age. There is some light buckle rash on the back which hasn’t gone through the lacquer, a small ding on the bottom near the strap pin, and some light scuffs and a small dent on the side below the control panel. These are barely noticeable and were very hard to show in the photos! The back of the neck is also a bit dirty looking from many many hours of use, and the pickup poles are a little rusty. The action is set low. Comes fitted with a rosewood scratchplate, and 2 plastic alternatives (the one with the reflective green circles on is the original). No new holes were drilled for either of the additional scratchplates. The knobs have been replaced by cool aluminium ones, but the electrics and pickup are untouched and original. I will include the original 4 knobs but one of them is tarnished beyond repair. The tuners are also quite dull looking but I imagine they would polish up fine if you wanted to. The bass sounds as it should with no crackles. Comes in an original hard case which is covered in scuffs but still closes firmly and securely. Price is £900 if you collect, or I can meet you within 30 minutes of Dundee, or you can send your carrier to collect (at your risk). I will reluctantly ship to any mainland UK address for an extra £50. Outwith the UK, I dunno, contact me and I’ll look into the cost with insurance. Will accept payment by bank transfer, PayPal, or cash, depending on the collection/delivery circumstances. Please don’t tempt me with trades! I have already bought a bass to replace this one!!

tom1946 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm sooooo glad that this is a rosewood board or I'd have to buy it to go with its twin here. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
