martthebass Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 [quote name='witterth' post='855780' date='Jun 3 2010, 10:25 AM']gotta give this a bump, I've got one and its one of the things I'd go back in for if there was a fire! ABSOLUTE steal of a price!! if I had the "spare" I'd have another (this one).....dont know why but I would!! good luck M. watching with interest W[/quote] Cheers W, there doesn't seem to be much of a market at the moment. Still, no worries, I only need it for the odd number so it's no hardship to hang onto.
witterth Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Although this effectivley a Bump(!?!) Id say keep hold Mart W
martthebass Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Looks like that might have to be the case W, some interest shown but all overseas with difficult logistics.
martthebass Posted June 5, 2010 Author Posted June 5, 2010 Weekend bump. Still amazingly pretty and still a rare bargain at £600.
martthebass Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Cheers guys, beginning to get the feeling that this ain't the time to sell a MM. Still, I shall flagellate this post mortem equine beast for a little longer before putting away and waiting for better times...
martthebass Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Still here in all it's Ash based woodiness. Can't promise it'll make you sound like Pino but it'll do it's best.
martthebass Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Another bump for this overpriced piece of American built tat
witterth Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Ive told you keep it........ Wayne: "....and one day she WILL be mine oh YESS" sorry a bump not a wind up! Edited June 8, 2010 by witterth
martthebass Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Cheers W. Yea, I think there's a positive glut of MM's for sale at the mo which is depressing the market a little - that coupled with a Fretless MM being something of a niche instrument. I've got a few gigs coming up and if the money from those hits my pocket before this sells I'm seriously considering spending some cash on this to turn it into my perfect fretless - it goes against the grain to even considering selling a proper US made Ray for less than £600. The reason this is still up for sale is I thought it would be cheaper to sell and buy something else (a Sterling F'less would be nice) than spend on this - in the current market I think I would have to drop the price of this to a point where that aint the case.
Starless Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Please excuse my complete ignorance, but I know nothing of Stingrays (apart from Troy Tempest's little runabout). How does this compare neck-wise to a Jazz or a P? What is the difference between a Musicman and a Sterling? I'm looking for a fretless, this looks the part but I'm not sure about these things at all. Sorry to be a bit of a klutz.
martthebass Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 Hi S, the neck profile is pretty much like a modern US Fender P - about 1.625" at the nut. Back to front is slim again like a modern P bass. The Sterling pretty much has a Jazz profile neck but differs from the standard Ray 4H in terms of body size and electronics. Cheers, Mart
Starless Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Aw shucks, I'm a Jazz neck kind of guy, so this probably is not for me. My apologies, but good luck with the sale and have a bump on me.
martthebass Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 No problem S, hope you find what you're looking for. I'm getting close to 2000 views which I think is about my record, I estimate that is about 20% of the BC population.
martthebass Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 I'll give this another couple of bumps then I think I'll rest it to give way to some of the other Stingray Traffic

BUMP!
dub_junkie Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 fantastic looking Stingray. I'm amazed it hasn't sold at the money you're asking for it
martthebass Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Cheers DJ, so am I - couldn't get near this price when I was looking for one. Mart - it is open to trade offers

martthebass Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks K, never miss the lines tho, side dots are just fine.
martthebass Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 For this weekend only I'll do this for £580 cash on collection. After this point I think it'll have to stay with me.
