desmondpot Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Next in line for the chop is this, my '99 Stingray (3 band EQ) with a lovely flamed maple board and neck (satin finish) It's in near perfect condition, crazy for a 20 year old bass, weighs in at a fairly typical 9lb and is in charge of all my 70's funk needs. It will be sorely missed. Price is £900 collected from the shed in Sheffield, no offers but I may be tempted by a great condition BB2000/3000/3000a (Japanese) or Jaydee Supernatural in trade even though I know I shouldn't. Will arrange insured UK shipping at cost, but prefer collection or meet up within reasonable distance of Sheffield Comes with period correct case (the pre-ABS, vintage(?) variety), allen key and duster. I thought I had the tags, but I can't find them at the mo..... Edited October 10, 2019 by desmondpot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Very nice. If it had a rosewood board I'd be all over this. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 No skunk stripe? How did they put the truss rod in - separate maple fingerboard? First decent bass I bought in 1980 was pre EB MM Stingray in natural - paid £375 in Buzz Music, Hereford. Awesome bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondpot Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just had a look and it is a separate maple board, although the join is almost invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I’ve watched a video from the factory; on the maple board versions they slice off the top of the neck (including at the headstock), route the truss rod cavity and fit it then glue the slice back on so the join is barely noticeable.

Delberthot Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 That is absolutely stunning - I love natural finishes and maple boards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
