ednaplate Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 [quote name='mrcrow' post='391114' date='Jan 25 2009, 06:54 PM']i bought this around 2 1/2 years ago off ebay and was pleased with the pristine condition and have kept it and cared for it since serial number E50436..Okay, straight from ernie ball's customer service guy, Dan: "This lovely white StingRay 5 was built on 1/13/06. Shipped to Midtown Music, Decatur, Georgia." it comes with the standard case and the bass is fitted with straplocks i may consider a trade down market as i am not playing a lot and if i do will go back to a 4 string i am in southwest manchester eccles way if anyone wants to view and try otherwise an extra for postage i would have to charge and this would be at net cost insured £850 i hope is a fair price for this instrument plus the delivery more pics here [url="http://flickr.com/photos/34963887@N02/?donelayout=1"]http://flickr.com/photos/34963887@N02/?donelayout=1[/url] [url="http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=93898271dr4.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=89526569qc0.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=79457080ie0.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=64471484ip6.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=41085811zu3.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=89332979ro7.jpg"][/url][/quote] Lovely looking bass and you only live a couple of miles down the road from me.

I may have a buyer anyway, so I might get back to you in a day or two if this doesn't sell in the meantime.

DirkThrust Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I've got a 2008 US standard Jazz in white/tort/maple that I'm thinking of putting up for trade. Would you be interested in this + cash?
mrcrow Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 [quote name='AndyMartin' post='404568' date='Feb 9 2009, 05:56 PM']This one[/quote] its a beauty ..got any more pics i am attracted to it where is the truss rod adjustment and is it easily accessible wonderful colour and splt...dont you like it?
DirkThrust Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 The truss rod adjuster is at the body end of the neck. There is a cutaway in the scratchplate so it's accessible and Fender very kindly supply an adjuster tool as standard. It's a kind of long ball ended Allen key with a T handle so tweaking the trussrod is a doddle. I owned a '62 Re-issue Jazz and very quickly got fed up with having to take the neck off to adjust it. f*** that. I'm only getting rid of it because I just prefer the Precision sound and since I got a Precision I don't pick up the J anymore. I've been toying with the idea of getting a 5 string for a while and I like the Stingray sound so it seems like a good idea at the moment Give it some thought. The main problem I see is that you're in Manc and I'm down here so it would be logistically difficult. Don't worry if you're not keen, I'll probably put it up for trade in a new thread. I'll put some more pics up later.
