Well. Although I did not see this coming, it is happening. I bought a new bike, a personal loss putting things in perspective and, much as this is my favourite bass ever, bills and life have made me downscale my gear. Perspective I guess.

 

Selling my unicorn (which I managed to find again) first edition of the Musicman Stingray Special 5HH in Cruz Teal.

 

The bass was bought BRAND NEW and imported from USA in March this year - call it NOS or what you will but the bass is perfectly impeccable. It took me several laps around the world to find it and bring it home (and pay duties on!).

 

Notes:

 

- Colour is discontinued.

- This series is on Swamp Ash body - newer ones (the £3.2k+ of today are 'select hardwood' - unspecific). Board is ebony, neck on roasted maple.

- This bass does NOT have the cutout for controls on the back unlike the new ones (less plastic covers... more wood?)

- Bass is 4.2kg, I'm picky for weight and can pull off 4hr rehearsals with it comfortably. Offered with absolutely all case and candy.

- Pearloid pickguard, flat AND round Daddario Chromes / NYXL included, same as dunlop strap locks

- More than mint condition, not gigged, perfectly adjusted and cleaned with Music Nomad suite.

- Serial: August 21st, 2019.

 

Neck is the most comfortable I've had on a 5er, and the 5 position switch blade is delicious - I used to think I did not need HH config but I have been using the single configuration on cleans quite a bit, lots of twang or growl too if you engage both humbuckers! P and J tones are also super easy to achieve with this 18V preamp. Of course dead silent.

 

I've something arranged and bills so I need the money - no trades and can hear offers - I reserve the right to withdraw or sell it to what I consider to be a good home. 

 

Thank you for drooling my post.
