For sale only - no trades and I'm not prepared to ship this outside the UK at this time

This bass is in beautiful condition. I've been over it very carefully and apart from some swirling on the pick guard and some very light play wear on the frets, you would be hard pushed arguing that it hadn't just left the factory.

The body is made from mahogany and the colour is Trans-Crimson with a high gloss finish.

The neck is figured maple and also has a poly finish. The fretboard is rosewood and there is a 30th Anniversary logo on the headstock.

The bridge is the string through body variety with no option to string through the back of the bridge.

Pre-amp is the MM 3-band with a single 9v battery compartment at the rear.

The pick guard is black and white five ply and the white has started to go a lovely cream colour.

I believe only 783 of these were made and they were all single H configuration apart from a couple of special orders with HH configuration - good luck if you have one of them!

They have a reputation for being excellent examples of the Stingray and are quite sought after.

Some of them are also know to be quite heavy due to the mahogany body, but I'm happy to say this is one of the lighter one at 9.96lbs.

I have owned quite a few Stingrays over the years and this is one of the best I've had.

It comes with its original burgundy hard case with black lining and 30th Anniversary badge within, as well as strap connector buttons.

My preference would be to hand this over in person. It's too good to wave good bye to in the hands of a Mickey Mouse courier.

I'm happy to assist in driving to a mutually agreed mid-point within reason.

Feel free to ask any questions.

The best sounding Stingray ever, in my opinion. A very beautiful bass too. Seems a bit of a bargain at the price. Definitely one for the Stingray connoisseur. GLWTS.I hope you don't regret it.

I have a feeling I might. I also have a nagging feeling that if I wanted to replace it at some point, I would struggle to find one in as such beautiful condition or sounding anywhere near as good. The only reason for the sale is that I’m about to pull the trigger on a custom build and I’ve already reached my self imposed ‘bass limit’.

Well, that’s kinda an arbitrary figure... whereas this bass is a solid stunner. 

You know what they say about rules and broken... imagine the year ahead if you just went n+5 😂

Look at the price of the forthcoming 2021 Stingray Specials! If they cost three grand  then what would one of these be nowadays? A sobering thought.
