Hutton Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Maybe if you didn't insist on collection only you would broaden the number of people interested. Good luck with the sale. It's a great looking Stingray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone suggest/advise me how I could wrap the bass? It will be in the hardcase, but what else do I need to do for protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I acquire a suitably sized box usually from my local music store. Because I am a good customer I never have a bother in getting a box. As your Stingray is in it's own hardcase I wouldn't see the necessity to pack inside the case. The M'man cases are a good fit. I pack the space between the case and the inside of the box with bubble wrap/cardboard/newspaper so that the case cannot move inside the box. I have yet to have a problem. I'm surprised your Stingray is still here at this price. It's a great buy. We must all be short of cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Just want to say, Perry is a nice, genuine bloke, and I would have no hesitation in dealing with him what so ever. I've been to play this bass and it seriously does play as well as it looks, and sounds the absolute b*ll*cks. If I'd been able to scrape the cash together in time, this would have come home with me yesterday. Seriously gutted about it!! So, here's a free bump, and if its still around when I've got the cash, I'll nab it. Edited June 9, 2008 by Higgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass is mint no scratches vitually no fret wear. The bass has been professionally set-up my Chris at Mcyntyre Guitars www.mcintyreguitars.com Come with Musicman hardcase Collection only as I want to hand it over in it's mint condition. The Transluciant Orange with matching headstock is rare and I have never seen the scratchplate on any other orange Musicman. I'm asking for £850 [/quote] Hey mate are u interested ina. Swap for an iceni? Its worth about 1000 so its a good deal! I'm just after that exact musicman! Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 it's almost painful watching this sit here @ £675 with no cash buyers trying to rip Perry's arm off... nicest stingray I've ever seen?...quite probably, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I've had my 91 Thumb 5 NT advertised as sale or possible trade. MM4s interested me, and this would be very interesting, so it's a shame it's a cash sale jobby. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 That's the thing - I only get 2 days pay this week, so I wouldn't have the full amount till next friday - And Perry is trying to shift it before then, so may as well see if he gets any offers first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minty fresh death Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This bass is worth more than 675 even in our sh*tty economic climbate, however, due to the sh*tty economic climbate I don't have 675 I wouldn't drop the price anymore man, just play the waiting game.

Exile252 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If I could, I would buy this bass no doubt. Though if I sold my gear I could. But I'd feel bad as my mum and dad bought me a new guitar at crimbo With out that I'd be £175 off anyway. Darn this cruel world! Hehe. Crosses Fingers that no one buys this bass till I miraculously gain £175 to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
