Tentative feeler this…

 

I cannot shake the desire for a stingray (I know, I’ve had about 7).

 

Other idea is a 70’s style jazz.

 

so.

 

If you want a British made 44 year old Ric/Wal/Precision hybrid thing…here it is.

 

light. Stereo (and mono) enabled. Light (8lbs ish) road worn ish…(it’s in better condition than I am) …light 🤣

 

I’m a bit torn really as it’s actually been an inspiring bass.

 

But the ripper is winning every time.

 

would rather trade - but…I’m open to ideas.

 

Has a very old and battered case which I can only assume is original.

 

Oh, and it’s all original, cover, no cracked finish etc…

 

postage is an option 

 

anyhow….i reserve the right to come to my senses at any given moment.

Blimey that's nice... how does stereo work on a single pickup bass, pray? Or is there something hiding under the ashtray?

Separation of EA/DG

 

So you could theoretically only have effects on treble strings etc.

This looks great! Why is the Ripper winning every time?

It covers so much ground; seems to do everything really well - it’s a lot heavier though…so if someone could find an 8lb ripper…I’d be beans chuffed.

 

My 76 was the lightest of 4 @walshy had 😂

After years and years and years and years and years and years of buying and selling bases, for me, Rippers sort of win every time.  However, I would still treasure this Shergold enormously

Reasonable offers entertained on this.

 

now off work over summer so postage and collecting a bit more flexible 

[AndyTravis]

Offers around £750 would do it guys.

 

I have a couple of musicman basses in my sights, so while I’d love to keep this and get a stingray or sterling - I can’t realistically afford to do so.

 

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Silly question... what do these sound like? There aren't many decent clips on YouTube, most have ancient strings and are being slapped.
