For Sale: Dec 19 Music Man Stingray Special 5 String in Charging Green - *SOLD* £1500

[Old Horse Murphy]

My gig where I needed a good 5'er has fallen through, so the luxury of having two lovely Stingrays is just that; a luxury. 
 

For sale is a gorgeous December 2019 Stingray 5 Special in Charging Green with both a white and black pickguard (currently sporting the black one). It comes with the original case and all the candy. It weighs in at 8lbs 7oz and has a stunning roasted maple neck and fingerboard. It plays beautifully and looks stunning. 
 

Condition is superb apart from a tiny ding on the headstock near the B Tuning peg. It's just been restrung with a new set of Ernie Ball Nickels 45-130's. 
 

It really is one of the best SR5's I've owned and if there wasn't a bit more tied up sentimentally in my other SR5 I'd keep this one in a heartbeat. 
 

I'm looking for a straight sale at £1,500 and will post for cost. No trades please.

Ooooh gawd…do I NEED a 5?!

[Clarky]

Yes. Andy Travis. the answer is yes. Even if its no.

I'll say the same as I always do when a Special gets mentioned.  These StingRays are something else, a huge upgrade over previous iterations.  Fantastic basses!

8lbs 7oz… wow!! I’m just not a stingray guy, which is a shame seeing as I’ve got one!! 🧐

[Old Horse Murphy]

Thanks all. Yes, it's really that light and a fabulous bass.
 

I think it's filled with helium, as am I.

I’ve played this bass and it’s wonderful!  Nick is great to deal with too. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Well I answered my previous question by buying a 1993 SR5.

 

so another question 

 

DO I NEED 2 5 STRINGS (and Both green stingrays?!)

@Ander87not really the colour you wanted but thought you might give it a look anyway. 

[Ander87]

@Quatschmacher fantastic bass indeed but I think I have found THE one, my one and ex-bass, with someone in this Parrish - I just need to convince him to sell it to me…!

[Guest]

Stop it OHM. I briefly owned the 2 pickup version of this. The finish is a subtle sparkle green and just lovely. And such a good price too

That’s one good step. Good luck! (Wish I could locate my old Musicman Sterling to buy back.)

I am desperately looking for one of these in the Continental Europe. Damn Brexit!
