Ampeg baby bass 5 string ?! 

Sounds corny, but this is truly a symphonic instrument. Amazing

Bass is still available- welcome to come round and try it out if interested in buying. 

Brilliant basses all round.

great bass, bargain price

Do you ever come to Brum…?…

Playing there on Thursday 28, what a coincidence. Birmingham Conservatoire (?) - I think that’s the venue. If you pm me I can give you more details.

Funnily enough, am playing there on Thursday 28 at the Birmingham Conservatoire (I think that’s the venue) - is that any use?

Hey there, what’s the weight of this beauty?

5.1 kilos

Absolutely brilliant bass, a piece of history.  Plays and sounds like a vintage Ken Smith should, very precise, even tone across the neck.  The feel of this bass is incredible. Have used it for countless gigs and recordings.

Frets are in great shape, there are no issues whatsoever with the neck.

All original apart from the screws on the control plate and 1 screw missing from the truss rod cover.   Back of Neck has now been cleaned up - see added pics

Very sad to let it go.

Price Drop

Bump for the midnight browsers

Can be viewed in Saffron Walden - also often down in London and Horsham. Need more photos? Let me know. 
Will listen to sensible offers. 

39 issues of SOS various from 2006 to 2015 . All in good condition apart from 2 which got rolled up but easily flattened.

Still available 

Dropping this off today at Guitar Classics in Battersea (London) if anyone wants to view it there.  

Have modified the ad so it says hard case- it was sold to me with this case by Richtone at the bass show in Olympia-all those fancy basses and this was the winner.

Nice one!

 

I think that case probably is a late '70s or early '80s Yamaha.

Not sure about that, seems to be completely moulded to fit the stingray. Earlier ones had beige cases. 

You would have to ask an expert, the earlier stingrays had an epoxy covered pre amp, that’s all I know

Absolute dream Bass, GLWTS

Thank you, it is a dream bass 

1979 Stingray Bass with hard case- plays beautifully, neck is amazing. Some battle scars (see photos), sounds a dream. Not the epoxy pre amp and not heavy. Can drop off in London as well. 

Great Rig, very manageable size and sounds amazing. V4b amp all valve reissue of the original V4, sits snugly on the svt112 cab.

the cab has got a few scuffs and the amp only one or two noticeable marks, all pictured.

I used this rig for a gig a couple of weeks ago and it works perfect, no issues. Included is the cover for the amp.
 

Collection Only- I travel to London sometimes. 

In good working order, just been serviced by Sickamps in Harlow.

Tube Preamp, excellent little amp, very portable. 

Nice! Bet you it sounds amazing.
