Pre-EB Stingray... needs refinishing!

[lowregisterhead]

Despite being pricey it looks fairly legit, but by jove does it need a refinish! Or not. You may like that sort of thing.

Compares to the Fender Joe Strummer Telecaster replica, I'd say it's in mint unused condition

Ludicrous price for a dog's dinner of a bass!  There are plenty of Pre EB Rays that are in perfectly good nick and they are cheaper than that.  Why would you pay more to then have to refinish and lose even more money?

Yup. The seller seems to think it's a USP, which it is I suppose, just not a positive one in most people's estimation, I'll wager...

A premium price for a knackered clunker.

For £250 more, you can buy an absolute 79 stunner... hmmmmm.

Absolutely lovely. But 12lbs? Yikes!

LOL indeed.  When I clocked the pics I was 'Having that!'... then I saw the weight.

I was thinking the same - it's in amazing condition! I was surprised it's the same price as the other, much more battered example they have for sale. That'll be why!
