Musicman Stingray 4 - *SOLD* £1100 West Midlands

[Horizontalste]

Never thought I'd let this go but things change!

 

Musicman Stingray 4H from 2009 I believe.

I've owned it for the last twelve years or so.

Immaculate condition & standard apart from the high gloss vintage tint lacquered neck that was beautifully done by Mr Shuker, it had a refret at the same time.

Currently strung with new Cobalt Flats & comes with original case & 3ply pickgurd plus the matte black single ply pickgurd, a white single ply pickgurd & white pickup cover. All original Musicman items & not reproduction.

I'll get an accurate weight & high res photos when I get five but any questions feel free to ask. Just weighed the Stingray on the bathroom scales with the me+me & the bass - me scientific method & it's came in at 4.4kg.

Based in the West Midlands & local pickup or meetup only for this one I'm afraid.

I don't think he'll approve of that idea!

Doesn't it just!

 

I never thought I'd let it go either, my Mrs & the kids are giving me earache over this one. My eldest has offered full asking price just to keep it in the family, he doesn't play! 🤣

Honest opinion - listen to them. Put it in a case and under the bed or in loft etc and forget you have it for a bit. Then one day you'll remember, get it out and be very glad you didn't sell it.

 

It also alleviates the earache from said family, which is worth way more than £1100.

Great price on one of these.  On the basis of the neck job that Dan had done on this by Jon S I did the same to my US Sterling.  Lovely job and a definite upgrade to those of us who prefer a lacquered neck to the oil/wax rub jobby.

It was @Horizontalste who had the neck done on this one Mart, he then kindly furnished me with the details and I had the same done to the black 3-EQ I had at the time. But I agree, a serious upgrade at significant cost.

My bad Dan, I get mixed up as I get older mate lol.  

Agreed though, it wasn't an insignificant cost to have the neck stripped back, stainless frets installed and vintage lacquer tint applied by Master Jon, so this really is a great price.  If I wasn't deficient in cash and not deficient in basses I'd be seriously looking at this even though I'm a Sterling man.
