BassVentura-FretDetective Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Bought a couple of years back from the Bass Gallery in Camden. Wonderful example of a Stringray, just moving to jazzes instead (also first baby making me glance at finances a little...) Original advert: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/ernie-ball-music-man-stingray-2 Previous owner modded/upgraded it by adding the neck pickup and installing Nordstrand pickups and an 18v pre-amp. Volume pot has pull/push function for active/passive switching - perfect for channeling your inner Joe Dart. 2EQ. Serial number indicates that it started life as a 2010 single H model. Excellent overall condition, with one or two small dings on the body but very hard to see against the wood grain. Weight comes in at just over 4kg. Soft case included. Come and give it a try if you're ever in Hove! Edited April 7, 2021 by BassVentura-FretDetective 8
TheGreek Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Underpriced IMO. Hard to find a Ray for under £1k and this looks better than most I've seen for more... 1
Olimus Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I apologise in advance for the stupid question but is the J pickup “on” all the time or does it have its separate control?
BassVentura-FretDetective Posted March 14, 2021 Author Posted March 14, 2021 Second knob down is pickup blend! 1
Bluescaster Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Beautiful looking bass. Good luck with sale. 1
lee650 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Lovely looking bass, those Nordstrand sound awesome (I have them in my MM Sterling and jazz basses) East preamp too, fantastic. Are you certain his is originally an HS as the jazz pickup looks too far back! Has this been modded? Great price too 😁 Edited March 20, 2021 by lee650
BassVentura-FretDetective Posted March 20, 2021 Author Posted March 20, 2021 Cheers! Yep predecessor seems to have modded it. The serial number says it was born in 2010 as a humble H model.

Even given the mod, I still think it’s work a bit more than the asking price. Nice looking bass. I’m sure it won’t be around for too long. 1

Fishman Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 put the price up! I have this pup mod and it takes the SR to a whole new level
