Musicman Classic Stingray “Sledge” - *SOLD* £1695 Keighley

[CHRISDABASS]

Now then! 
 

Here’s a lovely and quite rare beast of a bass!

 

This 2013 Classic Musicman Stingray “Sledge” is In fantastic condition throughout. It looks practically new to be honest! It also has the original case which is also in fabulous shape.

 

The finish on this bass is beautiful and really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. It’s super hard to photograph but it has a colour shift / hollow flake effect to it (Mr Levin has great taste!!) It also features a very tasty birdseye maple neck and fingerboard! 
 

a few people asked about the weight! It’s a very manageable 9lbs 3oz! 

 

 

Happy to ship anywhere in the UK or of course collection / meet up is also possible 

 

I’m Potentially open to trades. Maybe a CS jazz? (plus cash from me of course) 

 

let me know if you have any questions

How does "The Sledge" differ from a  bog standard Ray?

You should get a signed card from Tony Levin with it.

In bright sunshine the Sledge finish goes like this

 

 

also looks great under artificial/stage lighting. Bit of a chameleon

Got no body contours, as far as I can tell.

It's based on the original 1970s StingRays. Slab body, 2 band EQ, through body stringing bridge with mutes, 7.5" radius neck, aged look neck lacquer, vintage machine heads and battery plate.

At one stage the amount of Stingrays I had was well into double figures. I’ve since sold nearly all of them, but I’d never sell my Sledge. It’s just a fantastically well put together Stingray. Slab body, the most gorgeous neck and it just has that Stingray sound.

Mine didn’t have the signed card with it and as far as I’m aware, it never did.

That’s a really good price (underpriced IMHO) for what I’m sure is a great Ray.

GLWTS.

I agree it's underpriced. Someone is going to get a bargain.
