It is with great regret that I'm selling my Musicman Stingray 5 (with hard case) due to growing debts and the fact that, in spite of trying, I'm really a Fender man at heart...
The bass is a 2004 model, I've owned it for the past two years, it's been rehearsed with plenty and gigged a few times but is still in extremely good condition, the only cosmetic faults are some small pick marks on the scratchplate.
The finish on this bass is called Copperhead Bronze (the scratchplate is made from a piece of copper), which was used for a limited run of instruments made by Musicman for the NAMM trade show. According to Ernie Ball Customer Services there were about 100 made, which were then sold onto Guitar Center stores in the US after NAMM.
This is one of the most eye-catching basses I've seen (apart from my bright orange jazz...) and I'm sad to see it go. I'm looking for a sale rather than a trade, but I'm open to offers!

More info/pics available on request, here's a link to a thread from the EB forums that has some good pics of another copperhead SR5:

Having looked at other stingrays on eBay and elsewhere it seems that the going rate for a regular SR 5 is about £800-850. Due to the fact that this is a rare one (and in great condition) I was looking for offers around £900, or a trade of similar value.
