The Stingray is spotless, having been bought new in 2003. Since then I have moved onto 5 string basses and just do not use it. It comes with its own hard case. It is sunburst with a white pickguard and black pickup. As far as I am aware there are no marks on it other than slight natural darkening of the maple fretboard which is almost indetectable. Best offer over 700GBP. The Ibanez was born in the 1980's and is well gigged with a couple of dints but in good condition. Maple board with groundwound strings. I spent 100GBP on repairing the fingerboard as it had had roundwounds on it and it looked a bit messy. Looks almost as good as new now and plays really well. Lots of mwahh. Only downside is that it is a bit on the heavy side! 250GBP ono. The G&L is in really nice condition. Again maple fretboard and a massive range of tones from the 2 humbuckers. There are no real marks on it considering it has been gigged regularly. I got it shipped over from Hawaii and it is one of a special edition USA G&L's with a bound body. Comes with G&L hardcase. Offers over 700GBP. I have lots of pictures which I can email to you if you pm me. I am based in Swindon and would prefer pick up only although I'd be willing to meet halfway if it is a reasonable distance.

theosd Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 That G&L is very very tempting.. Now I'm torn between that and a 5er stingray I have the possibility of getting... Gah! Too much choice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Hammer - just a bit of info about your Ibby - it's an RS 940 Roadster, dates from between 1979 and 1983 - the first two numbers of the serial (on the neckplate) give you the year of manufacture. I have the fretted version of the same bass (RS 924, as played by Steve bleedin' 'Arris) and it's a lovely, great-sounding bass. Another forgotten Jap classic that you hardly ever see any more. Jon.

hammer Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks Jon I thought it was eqarly 80's. It was my main bass between 1999 and 2003 but I've gone on to using 5 stringers so it only comes out of its case occasionally. As you say it is a classic and every time I play it I end up deciding to keep it. It needs a good home. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayfan Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Can't believe you've not had any takers for that G&L, given how many people are GASsing for them around these parts. Maybe shave 50 quid off and it might flush them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosd Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Ooh, that G&L is still attracting my attention... All I have to offer would be the Stingray 5 I just bought (see avatar) in a most striking colour combination! Now THAT would be a tricky decision for me to make! Out of question, would you consider it? Edited October 17, 2007 by theosd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've been away for a couple of weeks so this is a good excuse for a final bump. That looks like a stunning Stingray but I prefer the wider string spacing on the G&L so I'd have t decline your offer. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
