Raslee Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) SOLD Bought this funk machine a few months back off Macko 1968, and well what a beauty-he was sad to sell too. Immaculate for its age, probably the lowest action of any bass i've ever played, and looks a stunner. 1988 Stingray, funky as f$(£...need i say more. Oh the neck is gorgeous, slighty faded with age so is almost like somewhere between a dark maple and a roasewood coloured..it is of course rosewood. Has mutes, some Pre EB features too being 1988.......sure to be a collectors item. Original post [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=116984&hl=stingray"]here[/url] Hope Macko doesn't mind me using his pics: Looking to get back £850 firm which is what i paid, and i have to say it was a bargain + P&P (courier) or collection from Plymouth - Comes with hard case too. Or trade a bass + at least £400 cash (Bank transfer) for it. Ideally looking for Fender P bass (mapleboard), J bass, Warwick, might consider MM Sub/Sterling becuase i know i'll miss this but w.h.y. I will eventually put this on the bay' but at £900+ to recover those ridiculous sellers costs. Edited March 10, 2011 by Rasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) It is indeed a beautiful reunion, sad to see the MM go as it is a cracker but i feel its going back to its rightful owner Very pleasing outcome for all i feel. Right, now some shopping - i've got to find me a new bass below £450....so exciting times for me too. Edited March 10, 2011 by Rasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Mexican basses have really improved with their quality and with your mods it must be a super jazz. My bitsa jazz is my favourite too, having Lindy Fralins and a BadassII but what i really love is my all part maple neck with mother of pearl blocks....it is a 70's chunky jazz neck that is super smooth. Despite trying 'many' other basses i keep coming back to this one.....but now i have room for another...decisions decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macko1968 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Regretted selling this bass as soon as it left the house. Fate is wonderful thing though, I sold my fretless 'ray yesterday & today Rasta asks me if I'd want this one back. Hell yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you're looking for a below 450 option, can heartily recommend a SUB. I'm a recent convert, having been wanting to have a quick dabble with a 2EQ Ray. Think there's still one on the sales forum from a Scottish seller for about the 400 Mark? This 'Ray is gorgeous, and had I not been looking for cash or maple for my old Steiny (now returned home to the US), may well have been tempted by a trade a wee while back. Nice to see it return to it's original owner, don't let it go again Macko, a good Ray is worth it's weight in gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
