marcus bell Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 after a long time hunting one down for the right deal I travelled to get a 1991 musicman stingray bass , pretty cool that it's the same age as me 4 string, 3 eq, maple neck, bridge with mutes, honeyburst colour, in mint condition! Perfect!

BassTractor Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Oooow. You are soooo seling that to me, and I'm officially a burst hater. Are you aware of the Date of Birth thread on the EBMM forum? http://forums.ernieball.com/music-man-basses/1254-music-man-serial-number-database-520.html#post915684 If you ask nicely they'll not only provide the date, but also the configuration and where it was sent originally. Enjoy it! best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 A white scratchplate would set off the Honeyburst perfectly. Its my favourite Stingray 'burst and I speak as a Tobacco Burst 'Ray owner... Good score mate, nice to see you get one at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) You might regret the see-through guard after a sweaty gig or two! I've seen them with drops of sweat squeezed behind them, looking most unsightly. I guess the same thing goes on behind an opaque guard, but we never see it. It does look like a nice bass - I've always liked MM necks in particular. Edited May 4, 2013 by Beer of the Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Good work Marcus! It would be interesting to see which preamp that has as it could be one of the very earliest fitted with a green PCB rather than the old style ones? That colour combo is actually a sort of reissue of the very last pre EB Rays that got the clear guard and trans red finish to try and modernise them a bit as a final fling before Ernie ball got his hands on them in '84, most transition era (84-85) Rays are in that colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
