luckman67 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just picked up a Musicman Stinray SUB that was going for £99.99. But as money was tight I swapped my secondhand Peavey Cirrus BXP for it, and walked out the door with an American made bass £60 and a cheap set of strings. I still can not get over my lucky find.

The Burpster Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Was it stolen....? That was truly a bargain.... but we must have pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) That is way way too cheap for a Sub. Was it a shop? Maybe Cash Converter, who didn't know what they were selling? Edited April 17, 2010 by Pete Academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckman67 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yes it was from a Cah Converters shop, & not stolen. When I walked into the shop & saw the headstock and then the price I just had to get it. I have taken some quick photo's on my phone and will try and load them later. I can not belive that I got an American made bass for less than the price of either a Jim Deacon or Squier Affinity P bass. I hate to admit it but I've never been mad about the Musicman Stingray until now, my main bass love is my Ric 4003 which only cost my girlfriend £650 11 years ago. I am pleased with myself today.

Pete Academy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 When I lost my USA Tobias Classic 5, I found it in my local CC. They claimed they'd sold it for £80, as they didn't know what it was worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much CC took it in for? I would still be a little wary of it being stolen, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my nickname is Lucky and has been since I was a young boy, now I'm almost 43. I hope that it does not turn out to be stolen, sorry to hear about your Tobias bass.

Prime_BASS Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I can't help but wish it will break on you. Thought about giving the local fuzz a ring ding see if they have anything on record. There's some washburn in my local CC with a floyd rose tremelo, for £200. And that tremelo system is £200 on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Who said a what now? HUGE, HUGE, score! Proving that bargains can still be had and not everyone is completely clued up on values (I bet the finish threw them off the trail a bit). Now hands up who's going to CC in the next few days just for a browse, just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey R Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Nice find! My little bro used to work in a record shop, with a cash converters two doors down the road. His manager used to get regular calls from the boss at CC, who oftentook delivery of celephane wrapped CDs, just to check if the record shop was 'missing' any stock. And most times, it was.

luckman67 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Yes I still can't belive how lucky I vas to get it for such a low price. It is definatly a keeper & where can I find replacement scratchplates for this type of bass. Now what will I find at CC when I go again.

The WD ones aren't as likely to fit correctly. I had a musicman SUB though, i can confirm that the stingray scratchplates do fit. In fact it was the same colour as yours, 5 ply black looked really good on it Edited April 18, 2010 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
