selling my USA Stingray 4HH Its a 2006 model in Sapphire Black (kind of a charcoal grey sparkle) with a moonstone pickguard (lovely green/silver). Its the 2 pickup model with the 5 way switch, but i mostly use it on back pickup or both, which gives me the classic ray bark, or a very modern dual humbucker tone reminiscent of a WAL/Ken Smith or MM Sabre. Single coil positions are available which remind me of a grindy Rickenbacker tone (but ricky owners would disagree) Its in decent condition, but has been well played. The neck is a beautifully flamed maple which has darkened to a lovely patina, i have been waxing it. Its quite wide like a P bass, but very shallow front to back, so is very comfortable, with a sumptously rich dark rosewood fingerboard. Theres some oxidisation on the pickups, as well as one or two very small dings in the finish (which is pretty much unblemished), very much in keeping with its age. The downside it weighs just under 11lbs, yes i realise 90% are now wincing, but it feels fine with a decent padded strap. Theres no OHSC regretabbly, but ive a semi hard case ill include. I will take £1000 posted.

Why has no one bought this! I want it

Lol! Ive been umming and arring all day 🤔🤣

Oooh, that looks nice, shame im skint! GLWTS

Ive got some vintage clover leaf tuners incoming (period correct for my bass) so moving on my Gotoh lollipops. Its an iconic look, these have been on the bass a while so while in great working condition, They have started to oxidise and thus look roadworn. These will suit an older bass with the large vintage plate (60's jazz/p) or a light relic build, PLEASE dont consider buying if you want new and shiny (although they will likely come up as new wth silvo) £45 posted to the UK only, ill hopefully have the new ones in the next few days, these will then become available. Ill take some off bass pics then.

DM'd re relic tuners

Dont tempt me Frodo!!!

Tempted if i can get the cash together. No room on my board though 😅

Original pickups from an MIJ Fender 75RI jazz, 1995 and NOS bass, imported from japan by the previous owner. Some of these basses had pickups from the USA, as the bass was made strictly for Japanese market, i think these are MIJ. They are high quality and have a large bar magnet on the bottom, So i think these may be ceramic units. I briefly fitted them to my 82 JV jazz, and they have a very clear/modern HIFI tone, with a bright sound and tight in the bottom, they are fairly even in the mids and sound fantastic. I could be daft selling these, but i wont use them, and they'll really enliven a dull sounding jazz, maybe spruce up a squire, so hopefully theyll pimp someones baby for not much money 😊 They're In great, and id say fairly unused condition. Ill take £40 posted to UK for these.

I had one of these in Emerald Green, id bought it new in 1998, beautiful slim neck and a great sound, i still very much miss that bass, i sold it to buy a NT Streamer Stage one, i preffered the LX. The pickups definately arnt original, shame the preamps gone. Id love this, to stick a set of EMG's in.

Slightly relic vintage clover leaf??????

Are you putting some tuners up chris?

Ive done it again and put flats on my P bass as ive joined a large soul band, but i personally dont care for flats live. Ive decided to go back to rounds on the P (especially after listening to some Freddie Washington recently). They are worn in, but in good condition, The Tomastiks have a lovely mid voice and a smooth low end, with sweet highs, very like a quality orchestral string (it's what they do😁) they are also very low Tension, so very easy to play. £30 incl delivery to your door They are currently on the bass so no pics yet.

Coppering up for stuff so for sale is this "attic find" Been up there for years, i think i bought it with a mind to restore and practice setting up and soldering electronics etc, i never did so i still dont have a clue. Its a Korean made Kay "Gremlin" bass from the 80's in arctic white, 28" scale shortscale. Its a bit of a project, but its mostly ok. 1- The fingerboard was painted and quite worn, id started to remove (not finished) with wire wool, and ive oiled it, itll need proper sanding, ive cleaned the frets up, but may need a good dress/polish. 2- Hardware- bridge is nothing special, maybe brass, but adjusts fine. The tuners are quite loose and pitted but work fine and stay in tune. It would benefit from some newer replacements, which can be bought cheaply. 3- pickup/electrics - a sticker on the back shows its fitted with a super distortion pickup 🤣 because thats what we all want. In actuality its a beefy sounding P bass sound. Ive cleaned the jack/pots and passive electrics, and they work fine. Truss rod- i couldnt move it, but with a newish set of shortscale strings on, it has a medium action and is easy to play. Theres a bit of paint on the body, but its all clean. Its very small and light, and perfect for anyone wanting a little fixer upper, or for a child to try which doesnt break the bank, before they have a gig three weeks later and ask for an Alembic. Make no mistake, its not perfect and sold as seen, it works and theres no buzz across the range of the instrument. I will post this to you UK only very well wrapped for £45 which by the time ive paid for postage will get me a pint of craft ale. Paypal F&F please, or you cover the fees 20250329_144215_1.mp4
