That's quite a nice bass. How much does the black sugar finish actually sparkle?

And Chris, in case the deal does not work out, could you drop me a short PM? That would be great.

I got mine for €1250 (~£1100), 2007LE 4string in that blue sparkle colour. Basically it's a Stingray, and that's all I use it for. The different sounds are okay and interesting, but I find myself only using the bridge humbucker as it offers a maximum of punch.

I also have an ebony edition Stingray with an ebony fretboard, and I like it a lot. It looks great, but it is not quite as black as the product photos want to make you believe.

bought a strap from pablo. no problems at all, good communication, really fast delivery to Germany, good price.

oh. too bad - for me

hmmm. would you ship the bass to Germany?

... uhm, ade, about that scratchplate ... would you be willing to sell it alone? If yes, I'm interested.

woah! I'd like to enter as well, please.

Yep, exactly. I found a Jetglo 4003 in Germany - not as beautiful as yours, but it will do. So now I'm going for that killer look with the black pickguard with white edges - if you're willing to sell the pickguard alone.

let's bump that.

BTW, ade, where did you get that beautiful 3ply black scratchplate? And would you be willing to sell it without the bass?

yay thanks in advance!

ehm. PM sent. I hope it arrived?

Let's not forget about ebony fretboards here.

I'm also new to this board, but I guess that also around here common suggestions in that price range are ibanez, yamaha, squier, preferably used?

or perhaps you can see whether an OLP stingray or a G&L tribute suits you.

that should buy you a beautiful bass. welcome!

1. Forever I'd say. I guess that my first 'Ray had a new battery when I got it about five years ago. I've played it a lot in the first two years and it still runs on the same battery. Haven't played it much in the last three years though, but a few months ago it still worked.

2. Absolutely. I prefer plucking a tad behind the pickup.


(Language question: do you use "a tad" in this context? I'm not a native speaker ..)

Another new face around. I'm in my mid-twenties and I live in Germany, so you'll have to excuse any language mistakes. It's been a while since the last time I've participated in an English-speaking board.

As you can see from my avatar, I am a Music Man Stingray addict. The latest addition to my collection is an ebony edition 4-string whcih I play through a Markbass Little Mark II and a 2*10 cab made by a small German company.

Right now I'm looking for a nice Rickenbacker 4003 bass - perhaps I can find one here preferably Jetglo, as my girlfriend dislikes basses in reddish colours and probably won't give her permission for a Fireglo one, and I can't stand the look of natural wood.
