Hamster Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Due to a growing family of basses, I have to let this one go. A really nice example, it's had a proper setup and has a low action. Strung with a brand new set of DR Fatbeams - less than an hours play. Nice Abelone scratchplate, it looks a little lighter than it really is in the photos because daylight was shining on it and I can't take photos! Comes with an excellent condition lined Kinsman ABS bass case. A few little marks on the head, one little ding on the side of the fretboard but you never notice it. Not sure what the P&P will be - I'll have a look around the couriers to see who quotes me happy. £350 [attachment=20397:DSC_3648.JPG] [attachment=20398:DSC_3653.JPG] [attachment=20399:DSC_3656.JPG] [attachment=20400:DSC_3663.JPG] I've been asked for a couple more piccys:- [attachment=20418:DSC_3732.JPG] [attachment=20419:DSC_3733.JPG] [attachment=20420:DSC_3734.JPG] Edited February 21, 2009 by Hamster
budget bassist Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Fantastic basses these, i'd reccommend one to anybody who wants a stingray sound but can't afford one! Good price too, with the case. Hope the sale goes well!
Linus27 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Do these actually sound that different to a Stingray or pretty much the same? Great looking bass.

Linus27 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I so don't need this bass as I have a Stingray but I so love the look of this bass and really want it :)
Hamster Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 A couple more piccys added. I deliver to Surrey!

I have more pictures.............

I promised my wife that a Precision would be my last bass, she said ok but if you get anymore then it will cost me a baby :) I just need to think do I get this instead of a Precision.

[/quote] HAHAHA selling babies. Thats not a bad idea I have a Jazz, I have a fretless, I have a Stingray and I have a EUB. The only one missing is a Precision to make my collection complete. So I am on the look out for a Precision but I love your Sub Edited February 17, 2009 by Linus27

[/quote] HAHAHA damn, I've been rumbled. Just don't tell the wife Seriously, the ESP Jazz is one my late father bought me. It's been used on 100's of gigs and was my main workhorse. It's now been retired to be looked after and given to one of my children if they take up bass. So the Fender Jazz is now my new jazz bitch to be used and abused
Hutton Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I would echo the various sentiments on here. I've had both. I still have the SUB and the Stingray's gone. There's a areason for that. Good luck with the sale. A great bass at a great price.
Hamster Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks for all the kind comments - bumpy
Hamster Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Now provisionally sold awaiting payment.
Shonks Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 just though I'd add my 2 penny worth.....I have a SUB 4 which is passive! Believe it or not, it still sounds exactly like the Stingray, and astonishingly, it has more output!! It can't achieve those excessive highs the active one gets, but I think they're pretty unusable anyway - unless you're hard of hearing!! Great sounding bass, without any battery power, ............who would have though!!........I love it to death!
