Hi Guys,

As I want to keep only one 5, I think I will keep this one as it has something really special, I will sold my Status instead.
Sorry for this, I know many of you were interested in.

Cheers

Thanks a lot! You must be Charles isn't it?

I recently spoke with a nice BC member who is actually the one who brought it back from Canada few years ago. Small world...
He keeps great memories about this bass.

Also on eBay :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-1989-MusicMan-Stingray-5-custom-color-/301628765710?

The refinish was made by a french luthier, can't remember the name but I have to check into my old emails.

Some more close ups showing the bird eyes mapple neck.

I am not allowed to upload some more pics (I have severals showing how beautiful the neck is) so feel free to contact me and I will send it directly to you.

Cheers

Here is my beloved MusicMan Stingray 5 from 1989.

From my point of view, the best period for Musicman featuring an absolutely gorgeous bird eye mapple neck, 3 bands equalisation, the legendary alnico pickup and a lovely dark rosewood fingerboard.

The original color was a dark green changed for a beautiful sonic blue (costed £250).

This bass is extremely efficient for any situation, as good in studio or live, it has always make me very happy.

Comes with a hard case.


Based in London Islington, feel free to come over to try it!

Indeed a very light one!
I use to have a candy apple red Precision Special from the same period which was by far too heavy so this one is a real pleasure

Hi guys,

I just moved to London.
I have to sale my beloved baby : my 1982 Fender Precision Special Walnut.
Only 200 made, this one belongs to the first batch of 50 finished completely in clear nitro cellulose lacquer. For the following three production runs of 50 per run, a tinted spray was applied except for the center of the front of the body in a sunburst-like treatment and then the entire body was finished in clear nitro.

Active/passive
Gold tuner and special bridge
Mother of pearl dots
100% beautiful solid walnut body, neck and fingerboard
About 9 lb

£1950

From my opinion the most beautiful Precision ever made, and the active preamp adds more versatility.

You can reach me at 0033 663113651, I live in Islington (highbury islington station)

£1250
I sometimes come to London if it helps

I like the way that people like to critize.

It's the same nice comment like : "Wal has never done a PJ model"... And too bad Paul Herman says the opposite.

When people as Clarky (very nice gentleman) sell and buy severals Wal basses in a short time it seems nobody cares.
I use to buy from him an Wal Mk2 and I sold it 1 month after and guess what? = from Clarky's opinion it was the best Wal among all the Wals he use to have and he tried to buy it back!!

About my PJ wal , I missed it once at the bass Gallery (very frustrating), I bought it from Pierre (a very fine and nice gentleman and bassist by the way) and now I am not sure to be good enought for this Wal as I don't have enought time to pratice the fretless. Also I have a very good Precision who does 90% of the job. And yes I admit I am a victim of the gear acquisition syndrome as many bassists on this forum and my wallet suffer from it.

I confirm this is my favorite among the Wal I use to have and I don't need 3 years to understand that

I've got a good news for me, I just sold my 81 precision bass special so I can keep my lovely Wal.
Clarky, you've done the exact oppposite ! That's funny.

Thank you Francesco !
Dear Clarky you are right I will do it thank you very much

Nobody ?
I will try Ebay.
Cheers

Thank you so much Clarky for your kind comments.
I would rather prefer not to sell this wonderful instrument.
I saw you are selling about the same one fretted, just gorgeous !

Hello Guys,

I have to put on sale this beauty due to my business which is not as good as before.
I bought it from Clarky (a very nice gentleman ) few weeks ago.
It is in flawless condition with a gorgeous ebony fingerboard (very nice stripes on it).
Traditionnal construction mahogany, american walnut facing, 2004.
The fretless tones are just the best I have ever heard, like an old cello, it sings !
£2500

I live in Paris but I come in London 2 or 3 times per month.

Cheers !

I was the original owner before Rasta, this bass is truly amazing and extremely rare in this natural version.
When I sold it Jonas himself wanted to buy it !

If I didn't already bought a Wal fretless few days ago I would buy it again right now !!
