I've been playing 4. I'm not 4/13ths you are though haha!!! Best of luck with the sale, i love Stingrays and this is one of the nicest i've seen with the colour scheme and someone should snap this the hell up!

bump me with your rhythm stick

Oh hi there, my name is captain bass and i'm endorsed by warwick so i have to sell my stingray oh lar de dar life is so hard. I'm riddled with envy. Best of luck with the sale, mind.

bump

Oh right haha sorry, heavy night last night brain not in gear.

I thought the hoppus basses had the P pickup 'reversed' if that makes sense? I thought that looked really funky and sweet. When did they stop that?

I don't understand?

TRADE EDIT: would be interested in a good gigging combo.

The nut is 42mm across. Neck thickness... i'd say a 'big jazz' - somewhere between a P and J thickness and shape.

I would post to northern ireland but it would have to be at your expense as i think it could cost a fair few shiny pennys. I'll get you the measurements now.

Hey Guys Here we have a CMI Rickenfaker which I managed to pick up from Cash Converters out of sheer luck. I always fancied a Rickenbacker for the famous clang and lovely looks so it made my day that i managed to find a genuine top quality faker. Alas, after playing with her in a band environment it's not my cup of tea to play and the tone just doesn't quite cut it for ska and i've realised i'm a stingray man. This one is from the mid 70's and that is as accurate as you can be according to our resident walking rickenfaker Bassassin. He said this: 'Cleartone Musical Instruments, which was a sub-brand of Marshall Amps, apparently set up by Big Jim to side-step a dodgy/restrictive distribution deal the Marshall brand was tied to. As well as amps they sold guitars & basses, predominantly Japanese-made copies but also some original designs made in the UK by Ned Callan. This of course is a JapCrap copy & a damn fine one it looks too. These are the same, as far as I can tell, as the Shaftesbury & Cimar-badged through-necks, and are very accurate, realistically they only compromise on the original with the generic little tuners and single truss rod. Because they appear under a few different brands, this type is fairly common but I'm really stumped as to who made them. I can say though it wasn't Matsumoku (who did make CMI bolt-neck fakers), Fujigen or Kasuga - their Rick copies are well-documented and have idiosyncrasies and differences that make them easy to recognise. As far as I can see this one looks in great condition, very unusual to see the bridge pup cover still in place, they are usually the first thing to get removed/lost, just like real Ricks.' As you can see from the pictures she's in amazing condition for the age. The neck is very fast too and you can really fly around the fretboard, which is varnished. There is a small amount of buzz off the open E off the first fret, but according to a tech i spoke to it's nothing a small set up wont be able to solve. Two of the pickup selectors also have a bit of hum as the earth wires are slightly loose but this is a quick and easy solder job. You can go from a really warm thump to the classic rick clang with these things, the sound really is authentic rickenbacker. I'd be looking for £380 but i'm open to offers. I'd also be interested in trades but i'm mainly looking for cash as i'm going away to uni at the end of the month. Any questions, just shout, Tom

SOLD to Chris.

Bump before i go to reading tomorrow.

I've got no money bump.

Straight sale not trades bump
