Nickytwister Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) This will be one of the nicest Ernie Ball Stingrays you'll have seen/played. Please note, Hipshot has been removed and the original stock tuner and strap studs have been re-fitted. Go check it out at The Gallery - here's their link and pic: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/mmsting4tbs.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/mmsting4tbs.html[/url] It is with regret that I'm putting this up for sale. Ordered at the Winter NAMM 2003, arrived 19th March 2003, my custom ordered, through-body strung 3EQ Stingray. Beautiful Vintage Sunburst, 'Shell guard, the darkest rosewood board. It's in lovely condition. It's done 100s of gigs and never let me down. The pictures aren't brilliant I'm afraid; I'd much rather it be seen in the flesh/wood. It's at The Gallery for viewing, playing etc (it's up for £895 there) but I'm willing to sell privately - any offers? Nick Edited October 22, 2009 by Nickytwister
Ou7shined Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Potential viewers might like to know where abouts you're based.
Mike Brooks Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Best of luck with the sale mate. Nick is one of the nicest chaps you could buy a bass from so buy with confidence people. For those in the know, this is Nick Owen, legendary salesperson from The Bass Centre and a thoroughly good egg. All the best, Mike
Nickytwister Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 Ah shucks - cheers Mike. That was my former life! I've been asked about trades; all I'm after is a Sunburst Roscoe Beck or Metro 5. Gotta be Sunburst though (I realise beggars can't be choosers!) Thanks again, N
Phil Mann Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Buy with confidence fella, Nicks a top fella! Lovely bass mate...If I hadn't just bought a '77 Stingray, I'd have had it. Best of luck with the sale Nick. Phil
Nickytwister Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Nice one Phil, ta. I am open to offers and may eventually put it in The Gallery to be seen. N
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Luvverly bass! Best wishes with the sale Nick! Nick (Smith!)
Nickytwister Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Nick! I remember you from the good ol' Wapping days! Do you still have the world's largest bass collection?!! Nice to hear from you man. N

lepromo Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 [quote name='Nickytwister' post='598181' date='Sep 14 2009, 01:47 PM']Chaps, It is with regret that I'm putting this up for sale; I've got to lose something from the growing pile. Ordered at the Winter NAMM 2003, arrived 19th March 2003, my custom ordered, through-body strung 3EQ Stingray. Beautiful Vintage Sunburst, 'Shell guard, the darkest rosewood board. Hipshot D-tuner and Schaller studs fitted, which can be removed/returned to stock parts. It's in lovely condition. There's a small dink on the back near the 'E' string retainer hole and the end of the headstock has been bashed a few times, as they always seem to be. It's done 100s of gigs and never let me down. The pictures aren't brilliant I'm afraid; I'd much rather it be seen in the flesh/wood. It's beautifully set-up, doesn't come with a case or bag so something might need to be sorted depending on whether it has any interest shown. Cash on collection, bank transfer or cheque to clear please - £OFFERS?? Thanks for looking! Nick[/quote]
lepromo Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Nice looking bass! I'm interested but it's difficult to know what sort of offer to make. Obviously it's a bit unusual with the string through bridge. Can you give me an idea of what you want for it as it'll save me making you an offer which might offend you! Looking forward to hearing from you. email me please: [email protected]. Thanks

Musicman20 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 If it was a 5 id be interested...but as it is it is still stunning. I love that colour! I already have 2 Stingray 4's so one more is too much Good luck with the sale!

Nickytwister Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 Shameless bump to get some interest!
Nickytwister Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 Well....possibly, but they're a little too specific to be of any use! A sunburst Roscoe Beck 5! I'm also considering the choice between a Sadowsky Metro RV5-PJ and a passive USA Fender P or J 5 (all in sunburst). The Stingray is lovely but has unfortunately become surplus to requirements. Thanks for the message! N
