gareth Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Up for sale is a white fretless StingRay with pau ferro board from 1987/8. This is aa early Ernie Ball fretless StingRay with 2 band EQ preamp, maple neck with some nice birdseye figuring and pau ferro fretboard. It has some of the most sought after features of pre EB Music Man instruments, such as a finished neck with skunk stripe, bullet truss rod, four bolt neck joint, old style bridge with original mutes, and chrome battery cover. The bass is in excellent playing condition and the body is in unbelievable condition - the photos show the details The bass plays well with lots of "mwah" and character especially in the upper register, while delivering full round lows in the lower register. It weights about 9lbs 14ozs using digital scales on a flat solid floor. Supplied with non-original case. ***WITHDRAWN*** Edited October 21, 2012 by gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
