eubassix Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) A very tastefully modified Ernie Ball / Musicman Stingray - originally a 3-band EQ model which, along with the spectaular Status neck, features a Seymour Duncan Basslines pick-up and SD 3 band EQ. The controls are push-pull volume (coil tap), mid cut/boost and stacked bass/treble cut/boost. The jack input is now on the control plate however the original side-mounted jack socket/plate is still on the bass so you could easily switch back to standard Mman. The finish is excellent overall, though there are a few minor dings. The neck is 'perfect' : low action, solid as a rock, great feel and the whole instrument 'sings' and/or snarls, depending upon your approach. There's certainly plenty of the desired 'mwaaah'.. It's currently fitted with a set of the excellent (and expensive!) Thomastik flatwounds and recently had a set-up done. The body (EB MM) is Jan. 2000 from the serial number with the Status neck being slightly newer. £ SOLD !!! Edited May 17, 2008 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golchen Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Oooh! I really like the look of that. Too bad it doesn't have enough strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Have played this bass before Eubassix had it - plays amazingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks for the + comments Machines & Golchen - this is currently well-ahead in terms of Watchers on ebay @ 20+ .... so am hopefully confident it will sell by the end of the week. Brother Jones: sorry, but under the circumstances cannot offer swaps or p/ex's (as it would merely mean another bass to get rid of...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 BUMP - expecting this to go on Sunday (ebay) .. if not before (!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Amazed! ... 28 Watchers, some serious enquiries .. and it still didn't go. There might be a guy travelling up from Scarborough to view (and hopefully buy - confident he will when he sees/plays it) but reducing slightly for a sale here.. Slight reduction : £575 (incl.) !!
