SOLD

 

Sterling By Music Man short scale Stingray bass in Olympic White, with matching gig bag & extra pickguard. Price includes postage to UK mainland address. Please do not ask me to post outside of this. 

 

I live in Southport and work in St Helens area, so collection or meet up in vicinity of either can be arranged. If posted, it will be sent well boxed with Parcelforce Express 24, fully insured, with live tracking available on day of delivery. 

 

Purchased from a fellow Basschatter. Easily my favourite of the 4 short scale basses I've tried. A real quality bass which is a lot of fun to play. Just need to move it on as I guess I'll always prefer a P bass. 

 

It has barely been out of the case, and is in the same, pretty much immaculate condition I received it in, other than very minor scratching on back & control plate. Lovely dark rosewood fingerboard (recently lemon oiled during string change) on really nice fast, satin maple neck, which is not scrawny or chunky, and feels just perfect for the jazz width 1.5" (38mm) nut. For those of you who like numbers, the neck thickness (as measured with digital calipers), is 0.832" at the 1st fret, and 0.934" at the 12th fret. 

 

It weighs a comfy 3.3Kg / 7lbs 8oz, as measured on digital luggage scales, and balances perfectly. It is wearing a nearly new custom 'Scratch It' pickguard which cost over £40. I think this looks pretty cool, especially with the black screws. I wanted to add a splash of colour to the white body without being too loud, and I think this works really well. I will of course include the stock white pickguard & silver screws. 

 

I haven't touched the truss rod, and the previous owner didn't either, as it just feels so well set up, with a nice action and no rattle/buzz. It comes with a matching SBMM gig bag with very good furry padding and a front zip pocket, and a small bag of tools. It has nearly new D'Addario EXL160S medium gauge short scale nickel roundwounds (50-70-85-105) on it.
