Hey Keir, thanks for the nice comments. It's a cracker alright, I just feel like a change to something a little less powerful and ballsy really. The Jazz I got is a thing of wonder and beauty, I couldn't be happier, but I did the dumbass thing and bought it before selling the Stingray, so the Jazz might have to go if the Stingray doesn't shift. The Jazz is lovely though: clear, even, woody sound. I put some Thomasik flatwounds on it and it sounds like honey. Sigh. Let me know if you come up with that plan! But thanks for the nice comments, cheers, Mathew [quote name='dub_junkie' post='271474' date='Aug 28 2008, 12:43 AM']Hi Matthew,we corresponded by email about this bass a few weeks back.I still dont have the cash for it but it is THE StingRay I want.

Edit 1/10.08: This has now been traded for Steve's lovely Black Precision. Which means I might be selling a v63 Rickenbacker shortly if anyone's interested. Ah, the big bass shuffle, it's very complicated. ____ Hello, I'm looking to move on my lovely 1989 Stingray. It's a translucent blueburst wiith a rosewood fingerboard and that powerful trademark Stingray sound. I've owned this since new. The serial indicates it's 1989 but I bought it new in about 1991 from Sound Control in Dunfermline, so it must have been lying in the store room for a couple of years. It's had some gigging in that time, but also quite a few years resting in its case. It's in excellent condition, but not mint - there are a couple of nicks to the lacquer and some wear on the back, but nothing through to the wood, plus a small bit of strapwear that is through to the wood [see pics] - just what you'd expect from normal use. I've tried to get close up body pics but any marks are really too small for the camera to pick up. I know this is a less than optimal time to be selling a 'ray, but I'm looking for £750-800 because of its age and a finish that I believe is relatively unusual [that's my understanding anyway - if not do let me know]. I know that's not what more recent ones have been going for on here but I thought I'd put it up and see if it just happened to be exactly what someone has been longing for. Comes with hard case [not MM one, I feel cheated now, I never got one], will post if buyer covers the cost. I'm in Glasgow, and anyone is welcome to come and try it out. Thanks for your time, Matthew [attachment=12710:musicman_front.JPG][attachment=12711:musicman_whole.JPG][attachment=12712:bass_bac k.JPG][attachment=12713:DSC00460.JPG][attachment=12714:DSC00522.JPG]
