Old Horse Murphy

I recently acquired a November 2002 Musicman Stingray 5 in transparent purple, maple fingerboard, black pickguard and single Humbucker. It's in excellent condition apart from a small paint chip on the upper body (where the forearm rests) and comes with original case and all the candy. It plays beautifully and I spent last weekend giving the neck a proper clean and oil so it plays very fast and smooth. It's currently strung with a set of La Bella Flats. Problem is, I just don't like the sound of active basses (when will I ever learn?). I'm looking for a trade for a Fender US (new model) or Vintage Reissue 62 P or J bass or Lakland Duck Dunn. I'll put pics up later on if anyone is interested, but it really is a beautiful instrument in a lovely colour. Just not doing it for me sonically though

Not sure if this is the right forum but Italiastraps are doing a 2 for 1 offer on guitar straps at the moment. I've used them before and they are top quality. A 2.5" wide long-length strap works out at about $44 dollars inc delivery for 1 strap if bought as part of the 2 for 1 offer. I only want 1 so if anybody wants to go halves, please PM me and I'll sor tit out. Here's the link: [url="http://www.italiastraps.com/"]http://www.italiastraps.com/[/url]

Now Sold- many thanks Terry. I hope you enjoy your new Bass

[quote name='tom1946' post='795210' date='Apr 3 2010, 07:03 PM']Seems to be my mantra these days but what does it weigh Mr Murphy sir?[/quote] It's definitely under 9lbs Tom but unfortunately I can't be any more accurate than that at the moment. These new Fenders are a really comfortable weight and balance.

Stingray now sorted so this is now for sale

[quote name='Linus27' post='794204' date='Apr 2 2010, 12:41 PM']Just want to add that Nick is a top bloke and always has lovely basses. I have bought a few things from him in the past and he is great to deal with.[/quote] Thanks Michael Bump for pics and an addition in trade bait

[quote name='theosd' post='793174' date='Apr 1 2010, 12:14 PM']Price and pics? [/quote] Looking for trades rather than a sale but I'll try and get pics up ASAP.

I have a US Fender P Bass (2008) in fantastic condition in black/black/maple with the new style case, all the candy and original white pickguard as trade bait. I bought this recently as a backup to my black/rosewood P Bass but it hasn't really had a look in. It's in great condition (I have noticed a couple of indentations near the top horn but these are minor and don't show up in the photos at all) and currently strung with a new set of La Bella Deep Talkin Flats (just as God intended). EDIT: Stingray sorted so now for sale at £635 plus P&P

For sale is a brand new unopened Black/White/Black pickguard for a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub/Duck Dunn. I ordered this from Jeannie's Pickguards in the US and paid $59 inc delivery. However, before it arrived I decided to sell my Bob Glaub and now have no use for it. Yours for £25 inc P&P.
