[quote name='B.Flat' post='1327696' date='Aug 4 2011, 06:50 PM']NEW PICS ADDED [color="#FF0000"][size=6][size=4]PRICE DROP FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS (i.e. up to Aug. 25th) ! I will accept £850 + shipping[/size][/size][/color] Hello everybody, I have an offer here which may, or may not, be of interest. Basically I have a 1978 STINGRAY for sale. HOWEVER…….though all the original hardware is there, inc. pickup, in superb condition, the body and neck are not original. The bass was put together for me by a now deceased UK lutier, who unfortunately fitted the bridge incorrectly. BUT…….I do have a 1978 Stingray neck, again in excellent condition. It is a three bolt neck that has been fitted to a four bolt body previously. SO……..to clarify all this confusion what is on offrer is:- All that is needed to make a ’78 Ray except a body.The preamp & pots are EB, early 80’s I think. Then there is a spare neck (birdseye maple), a spare body ( swamp ash,which can easily be restored), a spare set of ’78 machineheads, a Hipshot D-Tuner, and a Gator case, all to sell or keep as is thought fit. As I am in the thrall of ongoing deals I can only offer a firm price on this of 1050€, about £915 at todays rate. If I can’t get this I am going to get the restoration done. Now, as I am resident in Brittany, I can mail or, if any subsequent buyer is prepared to wait a short time I can get the bass delivered for £25 with an expat haulier I know.(Unless you are in a far-flung place of course!) I can answer any questions and take more picks if required. Thanks for looking, Abysinia[/quote] BUMP

[quote name='philio' post='1331088' date='Aug 7 2011, 05:21 PM']Hi. Would you consider selling the spare neck separately? Is it an original one? I'm looking for a pre EB neck for my stingray. Thanks[/quote] Hi Philio, The only way I could sell the original '78 neck is for £400 + shipping. Even then I would have to think about it as, if I can't make a sale to finance my ongoing deal, I really think a new body would make it a keeper. However still open for alternative offers/deals

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1331084' date='Aug 7 2011, 05:17 PM']Im just trying to make sure I have this right then, The complete bass in the picture is a copy neck and copy body (Or is that a real body?) but with a real bridge fitted wrongly (In what way is it wrong, angle or position?), and EB electronics (Its at least mid 80's could be a lot later but the circuit is the same anyway). Seperately included is the 1978 neck in the pictures that has been on a four bolt body at some point. Is that right? Ta. I have confused myself even more now [/quote] Hi Pete, you have understood exactly. Neck and body in photo are copy. The bridge is at the wrong angle. The bass plays perfectly but the strings verre slightly to the trebble side. The copy neck & body can easily be sorted with a top load bridge. With a Nordstrand p/u & a 2 band eq I think it would be a stunning piece. The birdseye maple neck is a super piece of maple. See ya

I didn't advertise it because of the delivery charge but I might be able to get it to Bristol for not a lot
