While I have something in my sights its 1000 euro ex shipping. thats just a silly price I payed more then 1200 euro for it.

Alot of interest has been shown thru the time it has been up, i think I timed it wrongly to it up for sale this period. So last week Ill have it on here for now Ill price it at 1075,- euro it's a final price so..

Up again

Got some new pictures up;)

Ill get some pics of it, plus a pick of the bridge as someone who was interested asked about it..

Up lots of trade options but cash is still king

Up for a truely amazing sounding stingray for not alot of cash

Nudge up

Up again cheers for xmas;)

Ok;) 3 ply also.. Anyway anyone up for a 'real' stingray:D

Yes correct single ply pickguard which fits this period.

Up for a beauty for not that much money;)

Ok up for sale this gorgeous 1988 Stingray. Next to the P basses I have a soft spot for these they play great as I really dig their neckshape somehow. With the eq dialed a bit back I had very good use for these in all styles of music, that plus it's a slap monster;-) I have owned two late 70s stingrays before and had a newer one and a 5 string at some point. This one actually sounds identical to the early stingrays it has more lowend punch somehow. In 1988 these had some of the older pre eb features, trussrod nut at the headstock string mutes and a very similar EQ and alnico pickup. The bass has been played extensively there is wear to prove that, it is however 100% original no mods or routs, some fret wear but still very much playable and quite light around 4 kg! And then the neck has this awesome birdseye maple front and back, quite a sight;-) These are getting collectable I do want the amount I payed for this bass, it is however worth every penny and regarded as one of the better period of stingrays by people who know. Im not interested in trades guys I get so many trade requests it's silly Little clip: [MEDIA=soundcloud]soundcloud.com/bram-schoonderbeek/stingrayfinal[/MEDIA]

Guys I had a chance to play this instrument yesterday, It's truely a fantastic bass I mean visually, soundwise and feel. Shape of the neck is like butter, nice big warm tone. In all very impressed with John's (Bravewood) work. Seller is a great guy, one can buy with confidence;) Glwts!

Again all pm's answered again great bass here guys these go for serious dosh new you can have one that plays and sound ridiculous for a much sweeter price... I mean common..

[quote name='bgmttt' timestamp='1455990217' post='2984371'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There are some pencil marks on the neck, but they are unreadable.[/font][/color] [/quote] I own a 1962 precision the date of the body is in het pickup cavity in pencil, the neckpocket in this time was fully sprayed shot. So they didnt use a so called paintstick in this period. The guy that did the refin might have oversprayed the pickup cavity tho I'm not sure. A bass like this is not easy to sell, prolly the best thing you could do if your in a hurry is to call a shop that sells vintage basses and sell it there in consignment, a shop like Andy Baxter e.g. A refinned bass really needs to be played and held before one will actually spend money on it I guess... We are talking serious stack of money...

Since trading is the thing now:S which I do not prefer, I only am interested in a Rick 4004L or 4003S black or fire glo...

Pm answered... Again lots of interest but noone really comes thru, any questions or uncertainties I can take away? Hell it does look amazing iTS sounds great it has that great vintage tone and has a great Jaco bark.. What do you need more out of a avri jazz... Cheers

Up on this monday, again raises enough interest, but still here.. I just dont get it you dont see these in olympic white much at all.. And what further amazes me there arn't much people who are fermilliar with these, did Fender place them too high in the market?.. Anyway for the money this is an awesome deal!

Up

Was almost gone.. anyone in EU I ll be ok with 1300 euro plus shipping, wont go any lower then that, so don't ask, as I'm not in a hurry or plan on loosing more money then is needed this is a solid and fair price which I'm sure you'll be able to get for this great instrument a few years down the road..

Up

Thanks guys, as ive mentioned I got a p from the same series like a year earlier and it was so good I later decided to get the j knowing and hoping it was equally estonishing both in feel and sound as the p, which as you can hear on the sound clip it is.. Have a nice weekend

This perfectly great vintage sounding jazz is still here guys!
