Phil, that is such a generous offer thank you. I do still have my old Soundcraft MTK 12, which I'm glad I held on to. Sadly, the desk being out of warranty and cover period for both A&H and Andertons, that does leave them without any obligation or incentive to assist. But I will see if I can get a local techie to give it a once over.

I have a Sire Z3-5, and I feel it's closer to my 2002 EBMM Stingray than the SBMM Ray35 I've got (and it doesn't weight more than the Moon, unlike the Ray35). I haven't used my Stingray at least in a couple of years. It's a 4-string, and I'm rarely playing 4-strings anymore. I sometimes think of selling it, as it's worth a few GAS-tokens... but it's a lovely bass (and natural/maple too, yum) and I'd struggle to justify spending what they go for these days, should I want one again later.

Let me run it up the flag pole again and see if you salute it.

Yes I can understand that, but then if it lives up to my expectations then it does.

That orange is amazing!

Could be a Guild, bro. I couldnt ID it at the time

A Patent Foramen Ovale is a small flap-like opening between the heart's upper chambers, typically closing soon after birth.

Saw that too. That neck is something else!

Sold a Dingwall to Ian, perfect transaction great communication and very quick payment. thanks!

I just wish there were more SLO neck versions.

Thanks, and yes, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there! It’s the same with everything people sell to be honest - if people need the money quickly they may be more willing to accept less than a sensible price. I agree re Stingray Specials although I bought mine new for not much more than £2k - is it really nearly 8 yrs ago - I’ve got a 4HH and a 5HH, both in, to my mind, pretty colours. I hardly ever use the 5 - if I play a 5 it’ll be my ceramic pick up natural/maple 5H, which I still love despite its 10-11 lbs weight (the Stingray Special 5HH is just north of 8 lbs)! I wonder if the new ones will become more affordable here with the weakening dollar? Not holding my breath though!! For those officianados who really want to weep, I bought my immaculate 1993 Stingray fretless in sunburst, crazily figured neck, for £752 just over 15 yrs ago!! I don’t play it often but I absolutely love it!! They fetch quite a lot more these days and are pretty rare..

Sorry, but that wouldn't do it for me. I put an East MMSR circuit into a 2007 Stingray 5 once, and it did improve the tone, but if I was to replace the circuit in a Special with a two band, then I'd need to replace the frankly rather characterless Neodymium pickup they put in it with an Alnico, lacquer the neck, fit a chunkier bridge, and string it through the body. (OK, maybe not the last one!) I don't disagree that the fit, finish and feel of the Special is very nice (I briefly owned a Special 5) but they're a completely different animal to all of their predecessors for a whole host of reasons. Sadly, I feel they've lost the essence of the original design along the way, IMHO. If it's not already apparent, I'm a Stingray fanboy - in the 50 years I've been playing I've owned 18 Stingrays, a Sabre, a Bongo, and a USA Sterling. Yes, I have a list, but oddly enough, I don't currently own one. But to stop hijacking the thread and get back to the question posed by the OP, 'regular' USA Stingray 1200 and up, Special/Classic 1800 and up, pre-EB think of a number and double it! Good luck with your sale/hunt, @Supernaut.
