Please removed - part exchanged.

Background.

I bought this n NYE 2020. I've owned it since then, where I have played it at a few rehearsals and one gig. I'm selling it as I prefer my EB Musicman Stingray. The plan is to replace this and get another EBMM as a back-up to my main bass. There's a video of me playing it down below in the church at Upton Blues Festival.

Fretless conversion:

Done in summer 2022 by Ash Nightingale guitars in Stroud - (nightingaleguitars.co.uk)

The bass:

It's lovely. Classic Fender good looks and sounds. Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Set up with a low action. Serial no. Z8061692 - made in 2008. There are some pictures, and one video (not the best audio though I'm afraid - just a phone) but happy to send more detailed pics of any specific part if anybody would like a closer inspection.

Weight:

I don't know the weight. I don't own scales but it's certainly not very heavy. Having said that, it's not swamp-ash so it's also not the lightest. Will try and find out, but might be a while.

Price:

Open to sensible offers.

Trades:

If you have a 90s or earlier EB MM Stingray with a Flea bridge, bird's eye maple neck in an alluring finish? Or perhaps a Stingray "Classic" with the string-through body I'd be interested to get into a discussion.

The case / gig-bag.

When I bought it it came in this shoddy looking gig-bag. It's rubbish. It's labelled as "superior" but it's anything but. I wouldn't put my worst enemy's bass in it. However, it's the only one it's got and the price is slightly lower to reflect this.This is also the reason why I am unable to post / courier this bass, unless a buyer wants to volunteer funds for shipping and a case.

Location:

Stroud, Glos. Buyer to collect over a cuppa. Alternatively, happy to drive to a convenient half-way meeting point for a service station deal. I don't have a battery powered amp though if you want to plug it in.

Payment:

Cash ideally. If not, bank transfer works too.

Thanks for looking, any questions please either reply below or private message me and I'll do my best to get back to you as quickly as I can.

Cheers-ta-nice one.

Jack
