SOLD - 2018 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Special 4H - Charcoal Sparkle / Ebony £1550 South Yorkshire

[Deedee]

2018 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Special 4H – Charcoal Sparkle / Ebony

I purchased this 4H model when these Specials came out last year. As some of you may recall I actually wanted a 4HH but due to be being quoted a 9-12 month wait for one in this colour, my extreme gas and impatience got the better of me and I came home with this one instead. Fast forward 12 months and after my bi-monthly random look around the usual stockists, I’ve finally managed to bag a 4HH model so this beauty is now back up for grabs.

 

Body – Swamp Ash

Body Finish – High gloss polyester ‘Charcoal Sparkle’

Scale – 34”

Neck radius – 11”

Nut Type - Compensated

Nut Width – 43.5mm

Frets – 22 high profile, wide, stainless steel

Neck – Roasted maple

Fingerboard – Ebony

Tuners – Custom Musicman, lightweight with tapered string posts and ergonomic clover design

Controls – 3-band active 18 volt pre-amp: volume, treble, middle, bass

Pickup – Single humbucking with neodymium magnets

Weight – 8.5lbs

Case – Original hard shell case and case candy included

 

This bass is absolutely immaculate, plays beautifully and is very light. No dinks or scratches, it’s never been gigged or even taken to a rehearsal (I’m still on an enforced sabbatical from gigging). Used for occasional home noodling only and cossetted in its case. I did finally remove the film from the scratch plate but other than that it’s as new.

I would very much prefer for this to be collected or a meet up could possibly be arranged. Shipping to the UK only may be possible at buyers’ expense but only if fully insured.

Price is firm and I believe very fair so no cheeky offers thank you. Not really looking for trades on this one as I'm having another cull but you could always try me, I can only say no. 😁

Any questions please pm me.

 

EDIT Re Trades:  As stated I'd much prefer a straight sale but in answer to a few PM's, if I was to take a part trade it would need to be:

Basses - Four string, 34", fretted, headed, standard string spacing i.e.19mm, 42mm + nut (no jazz necks thanks). Possibly a P, Super P etc.

Amps & Cabs - I'm sorted for cabs and amps really but I may be interested in a Mesa Walkabout and I’m always interested in a part-ex deal involving something old and green with a UV light on it. 😎

Lush! 😍

I had the pleasure of taking this one for a spin and it's first rate. Really like the revised pre-amp.

Cracking bass, and a nice weight too. If I had the dosh this would be mine ASAP.

GLWTS, cheers.

That roasted neck/headstock looks actually tasty!!

I can justify buying this as I don’t have a Special in an H configuration, but I don’t need another Stingray. Or do I?

Only as much as you ‘need’ the majority of your other ones 😜

Go for it, it’s lovely 👍

One of the nicest Rays I’ve ever seen.

Lovely Ray Dan, and in excellent condition as always. If I could bring myself to part with the Starry Night I’d be over at yours for a test drive (again).

Cheers Mart, I’ll get the kettle on. 😁

What a very odd day! 🙄

After this being on hold, then sold, it is still available.

[Deedee]

Had some very interesting part-trade offers but nothing that fits the bill as yet. Keep ‘em coming.

On hold pending sale elsewhere
