MM Stingray Ash/flamed Maple TRADED! £900 Sheffield

[desmondpot]

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.....

it'll be gone in 10 minutes, looks lovely

[desmondpot]

It is. Plays beautifully too. The satin neck is dynamite.

I've got a 2009 in true gold and it's just amazing

[Deedee]

Very nice. If it had a rosewood board I'd be all over this.

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.

Just had a look and it is a separate maple board, although the join is almost invisible.

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.

That is absolutely stunning - I love natural finishes and maple boards

Last bump

.....and it looks like this is going for trade.

....and traded. Cheers Dan!
