Musicman StingRay HH 4 Bass Cased US made approximately 2015 The bass is in near new condition with only minor finish blemishes on the edge of the body. The bass has been rarely played and has spent most of its life in its case. I am the second owner and I bought it as I wanted to try the HH version of a StingRay. I prefer a maple board however therefore I’m looking to sell it to buy a maple neck option unless someone has a Musicman bass with maple neck to trade? I’ve not seen an HH in white before and it really gives it a vintage look. It comes with all case accessories and keys, string wipes, etc. all unopened. It’s finished in creamy white or vintage white if you prefer. It weighs 4.4kgs and is well balanced and very comfortable to play. Frets are as new and the rosewood board is lovely and dark with a satin feel neck. One odd thing is that the strap buttons are a pewter colour to my eyes but there isn’t evidence to suggest they have been changed as they look like standard buttons for an EB strap lock system. The bass has the usual MM trussrod and original bridge all working as they ought to. The hardware and electrics are top quality. It has a good action and plays very well, set up for my tastes and is currently strung with 40-100 Rotos. Here’s the Musicman blurb... Featuring a dual alnico-backed humbucker design, five-way selector switch for easy combination toggling and the coveted built-in three-band equalization, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 HH offers double humbuckers for great tonal variation. Cash on pickup preferred but I can post within the UK if needed at buyers cost. Trade wise I’m ONLY interested in Musicman US made basses with maple boards, I’m not interested in Bongos or SUBs. Thanks for looking! To clarify I’m looking at trades at a similar value. A straight swap your maple board MM for mine. Single pickup classic MMs also considered. SOLD elsewhere

A very Geddy looking MIM Jazz Bass for sale with maple neck and black finish. The bass plays and sounds as a Jazz ought to and is light and well balanced at around 8.3lbs. The neck is in superb condition other than one tiny ding around the 16th fret. The body has a few scuffs and one major ding about the size of a 50p piece where it’s sustained a knock. The paint part is cracked and has been glued and there is an area of bare wood . I was planning to patch this with some black enamel but haven’t got round to it yet as it’s not visible from the front. Neck is straight and frets are good, it’s spent it’s time as a spare recently so since taking the pics I’ve put on some fairly new rotosound strings. It really has got a lovely neck, very slim with a satin finish. Extremely comfortable to play over long gigs. It comes with a Fender gigbag. No trades. I’m only selling as I’ve just got a Musicman Bass. Pickup preferred UK only post at buyers cost. PS open to sensible cash/PayPal gift offers of course! I’ve now touched up the ding and added Roto strings. Plays superbly and has that real Jazz mid range honk to it.

Dan bought my Squier Telebass quick payment and very easy to deal with. Perfect 👌

The reason I had a good look at it was because I have always liked the look of those simple short cutaway instruments like the first Gibson EBO and Melody Maker guitars. On closer inspection the body looks quite big in comparison to the neck, or is it the picture angle? That bridge arrangement though and what a strange pickup choice. Patrick Eggle also made one with a similar shape I remember.

I’ve been looking at this Precision. Can’t work out is it a bitsa, an MIJ or MIM or a Highway one. It’s got an interesting history for sure however It doesn’t look like a stock ‘96 US bass to me. I thought that the serial number would be on the back of the headstock. The tuners are definitely from an MIM or cheaper US Fender. Opinions? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-1996-50th-Anniversary-Edition-in-Sunburst-Tortoiseshell/202552437180?hash=item2f2910e9bc:g:FwkAAOSwQXlcKW3x

He’s been trying to flog that for over a year. Knock a grand off and it may be worth sending a best offer. I love JVs but they are not worth over 2k.

I’m selling my original US made full size vintage ARP Odyssey. It’s flightcased and in excellent working and cosmetic condition having been regularly serviced over the years. It was toured professionally throughout its past and has been recently kept in a studio. The synth has a couple of extra features commissioned by the original owner. Firstly the pitch wheel is sprung so it jumps back to its central position making using it in performance much easier. There is also an extra control to adjust the amount of the pitch change. There is a knob which adjusts a delay on modulation so that you can adjust the attack on the modulation used. This can be turned on and off with the extra switch. Otherwise the synth is a typical black and gold faced early Odyssey. All keys work and the oscillators and tuning are extremely stable. There is plenty online about this version of the synth - here are some pics and I’ll try and post a video. More pics to follow. It’s heavy and delicate so pickup only and no trades. The flightcase is an old school ‘rainbow’ case with foam lining (the lining would benefit from being replaced). The synth functions as it ought to and all slider caps are present. I doubt you will find a better example of such a classic synth for this price. I’m in Lancaster UK.

Agreed but the price is rather optimistic.

Why? See above....It also looks like someone has used a belt to distress the finish when you go in close. The gigantic bridge cover doesn’t help either. It’s a nice finish otherwise and would have been a classy looking bass before it was customised. £399? £275 would be more realistic.

Great to trade with Jim again, this time I got a couple of very nice Markbass Traveller cabs, just what I wanted! A real gent to deal with and an excellent player too. Many thanks.

I have this rather nice Squier Telecaster Bass for sale. I bought it as back up whilst my US ‘72 Fender Tele bass was undergoing major surgery - this has a similar pickup layout which I like. Not sure of the model but it’s the one with the mudbucker front pickup and single coil Seymour Duncan jazz at the bridge. It’s got a 32” scale and a slab body. The neck is excellent and the bass has a nice variety of sounds from 60’s thump to mid range funk. It’s in excellent condition there are some small dings and pick marks on the scratchplate. The metal work is oxidised on some of the screws and the chrome on the pickup is tarnished. Merely cosmetic. It has been given a clean and set up to my tastes with a new set of Ernie Ball slinkies. It weighs around 9.8lbs and is a comfy bass to play. No case or cover but there is a strap. No trades sorry. UK only I’d prefer pickup but will post if necessary at the buyer’s expense. A nice playing unusual looking bass for not much money.
