stingrayPete1977 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pre-Ernie-Ball-Musicman-Stingray-Bass-Guitar-/180720645515?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a13ca358b"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pre-Ernie-Ball-M...=item2a13ca358b[/url] Looks like a bargain if no one else gets in at the last minute, Radio knobs and serial number look good to me (1977 ) although some extra pics would be needed before bidding. Anyone fancy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 If I had £1500 I'd be on the phone to Rob Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yup, am watching this....lush isn't it Don't think I'd buy blind, but don't think he'll answer my question about whether he's ever in london with it Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 It looks a steal for £1500 Sibob although I think he has realised that it may be worth more maybe from other people messaging him, then again if its on behalf of someone else he might not care so much as long as the seller gets his £1500 that I presume they agreed on as a start price? I can see V&R hanging that up for well over 2K there was even a teardrop case in the FS section on here a few weeks ago for £50 to put it in!

Chris2112 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Nice! I think if I had £1500 spare I'd be on the phone to Alan at ACG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 I just looked at the bid count and the winner bagged it from the first bidder with a few seconds left, Ouch! Can you get an ACG for £1500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, yes I believe you could. I've specced up a bass which pulls out all the stops in terms of fine materials and crafting techniques and it was quoted to me at £1800 a few months ago. Sadly, real life got in the way and I had to spend the money elsewhere. I still think about that bass and I expect next year I'll sell something and make the dream a reality! You can technically get an ACG for much less than £1500 if you look at the superb Graft series. They are 'no frills' instruments in terms of spec but they are beautifully made and play very well (and I assume they sound fantastic). Yes, I think I'll get a new ACG next year as my ACG is by far my favourite bass. I still want a Stingray in the meantime too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have one as my only bass but what they do, they do very well. No fuss, just funky sound on tap. It's not a sound I'd want every day but it's a damn good sound at that. I think I need to own one just to tick it off the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Everyone should own one at least once, and looking at half the guys on BC they then go on an ever lasting quest to replace it after they sell it (some of them buying the same one back at least once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
