basshead56 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys. Looking to trade my newly acquired Musicman Stingray. It´s a 1994 model according to the serial. So it´ll be vintage soon. It´s a gorgeous bass with a lovely natural finish and birdseye maple neck. it is finished with a Black pickguard. All original and beautiful I am just not a fan of the Ray tone-can´t get my head around the active Musicman thing- I´m a passive Precision kinda guy (bar my American Deluxe P of course ). I guess that´s why i sold the SUB too . Condition wise, I´d give her 8.9 out of 10. There is a one and a half lnch long nick, running through the finish on the back (centre) from what I assume was a belt (there when I got it) and some buckle rash (rash also present on the neck plate). Few tiny dings on the front and the chrome on the machine heads has tarnished very slightly (and I do mean-very slightly!) Once again, all this is purely cosmetic (typical of a bass this age )and was there prior to my ownership of the bass and I can assure you the bass plays 110% beautifully! Again, have only had this bass a fortnight, got it in trade with another BC´er. The original reciept from purchase (1996) will be included. The price new was 1,095 Punts / equivalent to €1,394 euro in ´96 There was no hardcase at either initial purchase, or trade, but an SKB case can be provided. Just watched two 93´s and two 95´s go on eBay for between 789 and 948 in the last couple of days (wasn´t sure of the value of a ray from this period) [u][b]Have now decided to sell too, and will be looking for 880 ono plus P&P.[/b][/u] Please note that I am in Ireland but can ship (maybe even travel for the right deal) Please check my feedback here on Basschat... In terms of trades, I would love any of the following: a 70´s Fender Precsion, Black/Black/Maple (dream bass!!!) New American Standard Fenders- Precisions in Black with Maple boards, Sunburst with either boards or Oly white with rosewood. Jazz´s-only looking for white or blizzard with maple board really. Would love a Steve Harris sig bass too- of either model. Gibson Thunderbirds-black or white ideally, maybe VSB. AMP GAS: Ampeg Valves! SVT CL, SVT AV, SVT VR, 2 PRO (ideally US MADE) Small portable rig, so Ampeg VR Micros or Orange TB and Iso cabs also welcome. I am really only interested in what I have listed and if the right trade doesn´t come along, perhaps I will just have to grow to love the Ray sound. Pics will follow as soon as I get my camera back.
