SOLD. Sterling Stingray Classic Ray25CA Sunburst (Was £475, now £450 Inc. Postage & Fitted Hardcase) £475 FAKENHAM

[Painy]

PRICE REDUCTION!!! WAS £475, NOW £450!!!
I'm putting up for sale my Sterling by Musicman Stingray Classic 25CA (not one of the cheaper SUB basses) with an official Musicman fitted hardcase.
It's in excelled condition, plays great and sounds brilliant. The case is in slightly more used condition than the bass and is missing a badge on the side but it's completely fine with no cracks and the latches and hinges working perfectly. I'm only selling it reluctantly because I have a repair bill to pay for my car at the moment.

This is the 'Classic' version so has the oval pickguard that you would normally have on the 4 string models rather than the teardrop that comes on the standard 5 strings. It also has a slab body which is still surprisingly comfortable and a narrower nut width which makes it a nice fast neck.

I have changed the pickguard to gold pearl but apart from that it's all original.
I'm looking for £450 (NOW REDUCED FROM £475!!!) but that is including the hardcase and insured postage to UK mainland only.

Just a couple of pictures at the moment but I'll add some more later on. - NOW Added! A couple of marks that I've now shown in the pictures : small crack in the lacquer on the back of the body which I hadn't actually noticed before, couple of scratches on the neck-plate and a small mark on the back of the neck which you can see but I can't actually feel it at all. 

As I have been asked, the weight shows on my wife's digital kitchen scales as 9lb 6oz.

Also, not really looking for trades as I'm obviously looking for money towards a car repair but I might still be tempted by partial trades for items of a lesser value - as long as I end up with at least £250 my way. I don't have anything in particular in mind though so can't hurt to ask. 🙂

Any other questions just ask.

Best colour combo I've seen in a while. Might need to find a similar scratchplate.

Awesome basses for what it's worth I had a sub bass and it was carp imo but recently got one of these stirling ones and it is awesome it's pretty much a proper stingray for half price glwts

Thanks. 👍

Yeah, I do hear people say good things about them but I found the ridiculously hot output on my old Sterling SUB made it almost unusable and it felt kind of flimsy to me (the neck stability was not great either). 

This on the other hand sounds and feels like the real deal and the low B is way better than it has any right to be at this price point. I really wish I could afford to keep it but needs must!

Sadly I really do need to get this shifted so price now dropped from £475 to just £450! Still includes postage and the Musicman hardcase. 

If anybody would rather collect then the price of postage would obviously be knocked off the asking price - looks to be about £30ish with insurance.
