Heathy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Everyone, meet Gail. Gail is a ‘trans purple’ active 3 band eq Musicman Stingray, with a black pickguard and a maple neck/fretboard. According to the EB forum, her DOB was 30 January 2002. Her birthplace was California, USA. She can be yours for[s] £800[/s] now £750. Musicman hard case included. There is not a mark on her ashwood body*, but it is possible to feel one tiny dent if you gently caress the back of her neck (this won’t show up on a photograph). *Edit 14-10-13. I have noticed a crack in the laquer on the underside of the neck joint - hence price reduction. I have owned Gail for a year now. Her previous owner had barely touched her. Not really interested in trades, although some of the P basses on here look interesting... Anyway, here are some pics: [attachment=145353:GAIL 1.JPG] [attachment=145356:GAIL 2.JPG] [attachment=145357:GAIL 3.JPG] [attachment=145355:GAIL 4.JPG] Edited October 19, 2013 by Heathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Look at that trans purple! I am so glad for my credit score that this is a four string, that needs buying and playing in public where it belongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudburst Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I imagine you named this fine bass after the equally fine Gail Ann Dorsey? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBassBob Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 That colour is amazing! I'd love that with a pearloid scratchplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolomonHelsing Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ah Damn, wrong side of Christmas for my budget to even have enough for it ¬_¬. Good to know there's more purple stingrays/sterlings in existence than I thought (Previously thought none did haha), though probably seen the only 2 to come up for sale for the next few years already. danggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have just noticed a thin crack in the laquer on the underside of the neck joint. It won't show up on a photo, but I have taken £50 off the price in view of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 That is a great colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Very generous taking £50 off for the lacquer thing, it cracked when you looked at it on my old red one! This bass is a 'good thing' and a bargain to boot. Not seen one this colour before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've only known of my stingray, this stingray, the sterling sold recently and a 5 string stingray in this colour. I want it. I want them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
