Hooch Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I'm selling my old Stingray. It's a 1979 pre-eb model, poplar body, weighs in at 10lbs/4,6kg. Everything on the bass is original, except the 2 strap buttons. There's a nice worn in feel, the instrument being in overall good condition. Electronics is silent and as effective as these old Stingray preamps are known for. The preamp cavity has been copper-shielded. The bass is currently strung with 45-105 nickel rounds. The neck is strong enough to get nice medium-to-low action without fretbuzz, trussrod has life's left. The back of the body has been hand-signed by Will Lee. His former owner explained in his ad the bass belonged to Will Lee, hence the two small holes on the pickguard, in the exact same location as Will Lee's bass covers. I absolutely have no clue for this. What i do know is the bass is a complete tone monster. I've had 7-8 old Stingray during the last 10 years, i always kept this bass. There's something more in the tone you get with. More presence i guess. Btw, the bass comes with an extra original 1979 pickguard, so that you can leave these 2 tiny extra holes under the pickguard. Comes with a new Gator flight-case. As for the price, exchange rate being very variable at the moment, my £1685 price, insured shipping included in European countries is a guiding price. My real price is in euros : €2000 shipping incl. Edited December 19, 2019 by Hooch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Priced to sell indeed, pre EBs now easily reach the £2000 mark. There's an exchange rate effect which is favourable to GBP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
