Musicman Stingray 5 1998 Honeyburst - *SOLD* £1500 Manchester

[AndyTravis]

Literally collected this last Tuesday from Bass Bros. I chose it over 2 other honeyburst SR5’s as it sounded and played better than the others - it also has that slightly mellower honeyburst rather than the starts red/yellow that the later versions seemed to have.

 

I bought it for a band which I’m apparently no longer in because I called some shitty behaviour out.

 

I don’t need a 5 string. It’s ace but I don’t need it.

 

It’s got some marks/dings (it’s 27 years old…), the worst of which is down by the strap button on the butt of the bass - it’s had some refinish applied o it and once the strap is on; you’d never know.

 

it’s 9.8lbs. So “light” for an SR5.

 

it has a beautiful Birdseye neck.

 

Very sad it’s not staying but I have no use and really don’t want a reminder of the band it was bought for.

 

I don’t really want trades - but I’m easily swayed; I’d like money my way if possible.

 

comes with a hardcase and a brand new set of d’addario 5’s (it has brand new strings on).

 

can ship in UK for £20

 

collection preferred.

 

some pics are from BB site - more will follow when im not heading to bed - including the obligatory name/paper shot.

Shame things didn't work out. I nearly suggested you asking Will for a refund but you say you collected it from him so that might not apply. Nice looking bass 👍

Nah, think that’d be a bit cheeky…

 

“hey, i just quit the band I bought this bass for…can I have my money back?” 😆

Ha ha how about "I'm not getting on with the bass?" 🤣 

 

Anyway I think you would only get a refund if you didn't buy in person.
