Maybe I'll keep this. But one more bump just to get my £7's worth.

No offers?

Ta. Another bump.

[size=3][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif]Beautiful-sounding ’80s StingRay, a joy to play, no issues. [/font][/color]

[color=#34495E][font=Arial, Verdana][font=inherit][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][font=inherit]I'm told the preamp, the large toploader bridge, the lacquered/skunk-striped neck and the four-bolt neck plate (not forgetting the [/font]metal battery cover!) are all pre-Ernie spec.[/font][/color][/font][/font][/color]

[color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif][font=inherit][font=inherit][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif]Pickup upgraded to a Seymour Duncan Basslines, tuners are later but as original. [font=inherit]2-band EQ.[/font][/font][/color][/font][/font]

[font=Arial, Verdana][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif]Priced low because it's been played, as you can see, but the frets are good - no visible wear - and it absolutely nails everything you want from a StingRay.[/font][/color][/font]

Any idea what that means in terms of bass compatibility? I'm thinking about screw holes...

Apologies if this is a daft question.

My late-80s StingRay has a detuner. It's a good match for the other three (original) tuners in terms of styling and ageing, but it's marked Fender.

I can't quite square that up. Was there a period when Fender and Musicman tuners were virtually identical?

Cheers Guy, cab's perfect.

OK, let me send you a quick PM...

Cheers Guy. One question about the Markbass: what's on the back panel? Is there an attenuation control for the horn?

Hi mate. Markbass cab still there? I'm in south London, not far from you...
