I’ll take credit for the setup. 👍🤣

You should, it’s really very good !

I stopped playing for nigh on 20 years when the prog band I was in folded, nothing else interested me. I kind of regret that now tbh.  

I wish you were closer to me, I’d buy that jazz in a heartbeat !

My wife might not notice if I did my proposed swap. And I’m sure @bigsmokebass would get over it, eventually.

It’s worth the risk !

I’ll check when I get a chance, it’s one of the lighter ones I suspect 

It’s around 9.3 lbs (kitchen scale inaccuracies accepted) Somewhere between 9.1 and 9.3. It’s lighter than my GL Jazz by some way  

Body is Alder not Ash so should be lighter than a Classic Stingray.

Very nice, how heavy is this one?

Id have this but I’m pretty sure my wife would notice it as a new one 😉

Bloody hell. 

Kinel, that’s a lot of bass for the money !

With regard to trades I’m most interested in USA G&L or maybe a Musicman Sabre. 

4 or 5 string but no more !

I very recently bought this from @rhysyjobas I’d had a hankering for a classic Stingray for a while and also a late ‘70s Queen fetish !

Sadly I don’t get on the string spacing or the pickup placement (duh!) so rather than flog a dead horse I thought I’d offer it back up to the basschat gods in the exact same condition I received it. 

It really is truly immaculate, still has the hang tags and SKU sticker on it.  It really is ‘as new’ condition but also benefits by having been setup very well by the original retailer.  

Also included is the original Musicman case (which is suspect is manufactured by SKB as it is very similar to my Rickenbacker one) which again is in perfect condition and is an excellent case for the mobile musician.  

I’d say it’s the best put together, mass produced guitar I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few!

Im in Chester, UK and I’d prefer collection but I’m happy to post.  Trades of equivalent or higher value very welcome (UK retail is circa £2300, as you can see this is a very good sale price for a ‘new’ guitar)

Original listing attached for convenience:

I bought an absolutely immaculate Old Smoothie Stingray from Rhys

Bass was exactly as described, Price was very reasonable, delivery was quick and communication was excellent. 

Its always a bit nerve racking sending a lot of money to someone in the hope they’ll send you a bass in return, but there is absolutely nothing to worry about here. 

Thank you  Rhys 🙏 

Pm sent ...

Thank you 😉

What’s the actual weight please ?

Would you post it ?

@timmchale2009

Wow ! 

Don’t sell it, you’ll regret for all eternity. 

Sold !

Probably sold ...

Down to £325 plus UK shipping. 

I need this gone people!

@timmchale2009 this is very you. 

I have one also, the neck is incredible. Best guitar I have by a country mile. 

Good lord, that’s tempting 

Happy to post and 5 string trades welcome 😉
