trades welcome!

Hi Ron. I'll have a look around, to see if I can find something suitable. It's compact & lightweight, and the gigbag / case is pretty good However, protecting an acoustic instrument from being thrown around etc is my worry. I recently ordered a freezer - just in time for Xmas.... but it arrived in a rather battered state! Pieces falling out everywhere! If they can destroy something mostly made of metal... you get my drift. Anyhow, I'll have a scout around, see if I can find something suitable/ sturdy enough. It's a crying shame this isn't being used. If I hadn't acquired my beautifully made Jabba X-short scale, I'd have hung on to this. Cheers

Built recently by yourself?

This is a really good preamp pedal! Good luck selling it!

Hi. Here’s my 2010 USA Musicman Stingray 5HH in excellent condition. No damage or signs of wear apart from some really thin cobweb like lines on the pick guard which dont show in the photos even, so will probably buff out. Just one very shallow mini dimple on the back of the body. My lamps make it look worse than it is, to be clear.So only a 9.9/10 for condition ! Excuse the conservatory roof reflections (the parallel lines) and there’s a palm plant too. Better light though. This bass plays both beautifully and thunderously depending on your preference with the 5 way pickup selector and powerful 3 band preamp. All the electronics perform perfectly. Everything works as it should and the alnico pickups give a rich variety of useable tones. It’s a very responsive and dynamic bass in tip top condition and priced accordingly. The frets have most of their depth left and were professionally dressed just after I bought it. See the close ups. They were polished today and I only had to use a little oil to clean the fretboard today so this bass is ready to do the business for you. New battery too. It has a lovely smooth and dark rosewood board. Shiny gloss black finish over the ash body. Nut width 44.6mm 66.6mm at 12th fret String spacing 17.5mm at the stainless steel saddles. D’Addario 40-125 roundwound nickels. Weighs 4.55kg , 10lbs 1/2 oz with the lighter original metal black knobs and 4.6kg, 10lbs 2oz with the chrome ones. Nicely balanced with a strap in either case. I’ve had it nearly 10 years but need to raise some funds now and recently got a 4HH Special so that can take over now. I bought it used in 2016 but it’s only had minimal home use in that time as my other basses need playing too. It’s all stock apart from the chrome knobs but I have the original black ones if you’d prefer them. Both photod. Price reflects the excellent condition and perfect working order. It includes the original Musicman Stingray 5 hard case and insured UK Mainland delivery costs but I will send it further afield if you contribute the charge beyond UK mainland. Thanks for looking.

I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment!
