  1. Free bump for beautiful bass!

    [quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1343749324' post='1754594']
    You're welcome. I've had nine Stingrays, from '70s pre-EB to current ones, and one Sterling, so I have learnt a few things about them.

    For those who prefer not to remove the neck in order to check the stamp date, often on the preamp/pots in the electronics cavity there is a dated sticker. Here there have been a few mods so the sticker may have disappeared, but it's still worth having a look. I would not rely too much on pots codes/dates, they were often ordered in massive bulks and left laying around for years before being utilised...

    And for those who don't want to remove control plate, there is [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/"]this[/url] superb Musicman fans page with huge list of serial numbers and corresponding dates of manufacture, you can surely find approximate date of birth of your bass. Or you can just write to EB MM forum your MM serial number and those guys tell you exact date, target music shop of expedition, body wood, color.. etc.

  2. This one used to be no.1 in my herd for a long time, but since I bought Stingray5, I don't play it anymore so it has to go to fund other activities..

    If you are watching this thread, you probably know what is this bass about. It is boutique handmade instrument made by Robert Neuser. Bass is in perfect condition, technically and cosmetically too. There are some minor buckle scratches on the back of body and one small ding right on the top of headstock.

    I don't like to describe basses with all those "awesome" words, but this one realy IS the easiest to play bass, tone is superb- tight, even and also warm in one moment. Bass is very universal, I used to play it in a blues band, southern rock band, one punk project too. I can see it in every music you can imagine. I can't find any mistake on this bass, I just get used to 5 strings.

    Some specification:

    Alder body, maple top
    Maple neck with ebony fingerboard and abalone marks (custom order) with progressive radius of the neck to make playing even easier
    Neuser pickups and 18V EBS active circuit
    Neuser bridge (custom order to this model as well)
    Gotoh tuning machines

  3. Anton bought my Nash 57RI pbass. What a pleasure to do business with him! Trustworthy from both sides, fast money transfers and great communication. I'm glad Nash will have such a nice owner.

    Thanks a lot.

  4. It seems I'm the first one to give a feedback for Graham.

    I bought his 1990 Sray5 few days ago. One of the best transaction I've ever had here, so communicative and honest. Bass came packed like a tank. Everything perfect to the last one screw.

    Thanks a lot Graham.

  5. [b]£500 shipped to UK[/b].

    Q: Hi, is that glue on the side of the fingerboard in pic 4 ?

    No, it isn't, it is just old, degraded strip of finish lacquer, maybe from sweat, maybe because of little compress of rosewood during years. I bought it in this condition, it doesn't affect playability at all.

  6. This bass has been played a lot, and is worn- expect dings and scratches, rolled fingerboard.. Nothing affects playability, IMO it is much better than new one, you just feel like at home from the beginning with her. It is the best sounding 62 Precision example I've played, and with all that "mojo" real player too.

    Specs:

    Serial no. J012502 (means it is made in Japan, 1989-90)
    Alder body
    Maple neck with beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard
    Spiral saddle bridge
    Reversed tuners (same as on American vintage basses, I don't see them on MIJ basses often and)



    All original. At the moment, bass is equipped with harness and pickup from US American Vintage P-bass, but I will rebuild it back to original before shipping.

    [b]£450[/b] shipped from Czech republic to EU. Check my feedback here on Basschat.

  7. Next to Nash I'm selling here second precision. 1980 (correct me if I'm wrong) MIJ Tokai Hard Puncher, rare metallic blue finish, matchnig headstock. Bought it to blues project, but at the moment I just need to put some money outside bass territory. Perfect condition with wear you can expect from >30 years old bass. All original.

    £500 shipped anywhere in EU from Czech republic.

    [b]Bass is on hold, pending payment[/b]







  8. What I'd like to sell here is this superb Bill Nash bass. I bought it quite recently, but due to family reasons (new flat needs new furniture etc.) this one has to bring some money back, "last in, first out" rule :)

    It is 1957 model, some specs:

    made in 2007
    ash body
    maple neck
    two tone sunburst nitro finish
    vintage bridge with spiral saddles
    reversed tuners
    gold anodized pickguard
    Lollar pickup
    bridge and pickup covers, thumbrest
    is obviously reliced

    Superb playability, craftsmanship, fretwork.. Everything works exactly as it should. The most resonant and "lively" bass I've ever had, much better than american vintage series basses in my eyes.

    Bass is located in Czech republic, but check my feedback.

    [b]£900 shipped to EU.[/b]
