Dave made me a cable in super quick time and looking at the quality, I’m pretty certain it’s going to out-live me. Many thanks 👍

2018 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Special 4H – Charcoal Sparkle / Ebony I purchased this 4H model when these Specials came out last year. As some of you may recall I actually wanted a 4HH but due to be being quoted a 9-12 month wait for one in this colour, my extreme gas and impatience got the better of me and I came home with this one instead. Fast forward 12 months and after my bi-monthly random look around the usual stockists, I’ve finally managed to bag a 4HH model so this beauty is now back up for grabs. Body – Swamp Ash Body Finish – High gloss polyester ‘Charcoal Sparkle’ Scale – 34” Neck radius – 11” Nut Type - Compensated Nut Width – 43.5mm Frets – 22 high profile, wide, stainless steel Neck – Roasted maple Fingerboard – Ebony Tuners – Custom Musicman, lightweight with tapered string posts and ergonomic clover design Controls – 3-band active 18 volt pre-amp: volume, treble, middle, bass Pickup – Single humbucking with neodymium magnets Weight – 8.5lbs Case – Original hard shell case and case candy included This bass is absolutely immaculate, plays beautifully and is very light. No dinks or scratches, it’s never been gigged or even taken to a rehearsal (I’m still on an enforced sabbatical from gigging). Used for occasional home noodling only and cossetted in its case. I did finally remove the film from the scratch plate but other than that it’s as new. I would very much prefer for this to be collected or a meet up could possibly be arranged. Shipping to the UK only may be possible at buyers’ expense but only if fully insured. Price is firm and I believe very fair so no cheeky offers thank you. Not really looking for trades on this one as I'm having another cull but you could always try me, I can only say no. 😁 Any questions please pm me. EDIT Re Trades: As stated I'd much prefer a straight sale but in answer to a few PM's, if I was to take a part trade it would need to be: Basses - Four string, 34", fretted, headed, standard string spacing i.e.19mm, 42mm + nut (no jazz necks thanks). Possibly a P, Super P etc. Amps & Cabs - I'm sorted for cabs and amps really but I may be interested in a Mesa Walkabout and I’m always interested in a part-ex deal involving something old and green with a UV light on it. 😎 -
Finally got hold of a Charcoal Sparkle 4HH. This is the model that I wanted last year but my impatience wouldn't allow me to wait the quoted 9-12 months for this model in this colour, so I opted for a 4H instead. After a random search on Friday I managed to find somewhere with stock. It arrived today, plays great and I'm very impressed with the range of tones available. Very, very pleased with it. 😁 The 4H is obviously now surplus and will very shortly be listed in the Basses for Sale section.

2009 EBMM Sterling 4 HH with OHSC (NOT SBMM). SOLD
Deedee replied to funkle's topic in Basses For Sale
Ah, my old bass and very nice it is too. GLWTS -
True. The problem comes when the items you're after are like rocking horse stinky poo and you know it's extremely doubtful that they'll ever come up used in the colour and condition you want.

TRACE ELLIOT BLX-80:- minimum speaker load?
Deedee replied to BassManGraham's topic in Amps and Cabs
Yes, that's the 'like for like' replacement i.e. same 8 ohm and 150 watts as the originals. -
This ⬆️ Although I must also agree with the below.

No bids, relisted. 😯

Very nice. If it had a rosewood board I'd be all over this. GLWTS -

The textured paint option is actually in the tolex drop down options @ £50 extra. I'm currently awaiting delivery of my new Four10 with this option. I've never had an issue with the textured paint finish on the Super Twelves or Super Twins I've had so it was a no brainer once I'd discovered it was an option.

Just to add another option to the mix, I recently replaced an old 8 ohm Celestion 10" with a Celestion BN10-300X(4) in my Trace BLX110 extension cab. I'd contacted Celestion to ask which of their current range would be a suitable upgrade in this small (37ltr) vented box to make it 4 ohm, lighter and louder for a small 'grab & go' cab for rehearsals etc. I'm very pleased with the result.

Worst and best versions of the same Beatles tunes
Deedee replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I have unfortunately just stumbled across the aforementioned 1988 episode of TOTP with Tiffany murdering ‘I Saw her (him) Standing There’. Absolutely shocking. 😮 That’s got to be my worst. For the best, I’m still pretty fond of Motley Crue’s Helter Skelter and Aerosmith’s Come Together. -
Bar stewards. I’ll keep ‘em peeled 👀

Glad you got it sorted 👍

I don't blame you. If you go back to your first post and select edit, you can edit the title to state 'Withdrawn'. -
Not sure about the OP but I’ve never experienced neck dive with any of the previous (older) EBMM Stingray models I’ve owned. I believe the lightweight tuners on the Specials were to reduce overall weight, not to eliminate any inherent neck dive issues.
-
I make it 20.6mm
-
Not sure why the nut width on mine differs to the listed specs but please don't let that put you off these basses. As mentioned, these necks certainly don't feel at all wide or chunky and how they feel is what matters, not what the tape measure says.
-
I completely agree. Great Basses and the Chopper Blue is a stunning colour. Congratulations on your purchase. Regarding the nut width, if you'd have asked me a few weeks back I would have said that the nut on my Special was the narrowest of any of my basses. However, after finally purchasing some verniers I thought I'd give it a measure and it actually has the widest nut of any of them at 43.5mm, 2mm wider than the listed specs. Either way it feels lovely.
