Josh Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Picked this up very recently and all I can say is that this is a great bass but it's just not for me. No other reasons at all. [b][u]Pics:[/u][/b] For a 13 year old bass I think it has been maintained very well and the worn neck just oozes character but obviously can be sanded back down to clean it up. There are no major dings at all to report, there is some minor rust to the pole pieces but this does not affect the tone in anyway at all. The previous owner had the pots and jack socket replaced recently so there are no crackling pots or dodgy jacks. There is a minor drop in volume when using the Series/Parallel switch which apparently may be caused by a dry joint, but it's nothing a little boost in volume can't fix. And for clarification, the bass is sparkly purple and has thus been named Prince by a lot of punters. [b]Trade Bait:[/b] Jazz Basses (Any) Lakland 44-02/55-02 Musicman Stingray 4 String [b]Price:[/b] £650 Posted. £625 Collected. The bass will come with a Hiscox hardcase. Thanks, Josh.

However, yes, the Stingray 5 scratchplate seems to have been a real "what were they thinking?" moment It's very nice though. An unusual colour - I've always been oddly partial to those sparkly finishes.

chenzo_1 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 are you interested in a trade for a Yamaha TRB 5string MK1??
budget bassist Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 just thought i'd say, the slight volume drop when using the parallel/series switch is pretty normal i would think, i've not tried a SR5 in a while but you encounter that on another bass with series/parallel switching. lovely bass though

PapillonIrl Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I'm guessing you have no interest in trading for an Eden WT550 ?

waynepunkdude Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Just to say I have played this bass if only for a few seconds, seriously 5 strings tuned down after no sleep confused the f*** out of me but it was a lovely bass and well looked after, Josh is great to do business with.
hagguy Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 hi how much would you want for a cash deal? any idea how much bigger the neck is than a 4 string?
