Colour translucent red on a highly figured ash body, one piece maple neck / fingerboard, non matching headstock, six screws neck plate, new regular slinky Ernie Ball strings #2836's and new fresh battery, 3-bands EQ, original MusicMan hard case and key. £850 - No swaps - Cash on collection in London or paypal and collection after money is cleared.

Rob [/quote] No I don't have it and you don't want it either, Let me tell you why: I happened to buy this bass new when Ernie Ball where going through this stupid phase where all the Stingray 5 were fitted with ceramic pickups instead of AlNiCo, and I had already owned an exact similar SR5 before which I sold in a moment of madness. Then when I bought this one to my dismay the pickup sounded dodgy compared to the first one, I later found out it was a ceramic pickup so off I went to Seymour Duncan and bought their exact replica of an Alnico pickup with the dummy coil underneath - exact replacement of the original MM Alnico. Finally my basses once again sounded as good as it should. I fekkin' hated the sound of the ceramic one, didn't suit this bass and low and behold in 2009 Ernie Ball must have realized it themselves because all the new SR5 after 09 are now fitted with AlNiCo pups! Believe you don't want the original one it was proper sh|te underneath is like that: The original was like this: This is the pickup SMB-5A [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/progressive-1/smb4a_5a_3coil/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...smb4a_5a_3coil/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
