Based in Notts?? Musicman Ray?

Appeared on Gumtree yesterday - seller claims not to know a lot about it - I thought it might be an OLP but the markings on the neck suggest it may be a US model. 

 

Anybody in Notts looking for a potential bargain?

Yeah, looks like a US model alright. Worth a load more if genuine. Someone will get a bargain at £200!

It's a fake. Look at the logo. It misses the trademark Rs (after "Ball" (top), "Man" (top) and "Ray" (bottom). Then look at the bridge. It is definitely not a US Stingray bridge.

Avoid!

Same bass - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266445257157, different (better) description:  "This is not an original stingray, beautiful action and sounds amazing but NOT an original"

That's a Chinese knockoff, possibly AliExpress.
