[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Totally original Stingray for sale - 2eq model[/font][/size][/font][/color]

[size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]In pretty good shape for 15-year-old gigged bass but there are a few dings & dongs including a fair amount of buckle rash on the back, a bit of discolouration on the rear of the neck & a bit of corrosion on the pickup poles, but absolutely nothing that affects playability in any way - so this is not a collectors bass & is priced accordingly, but it plays & sounds exactly as it should.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]I'm just outside Bedford & am pretty flexible for viewings & will take £600 COD or I will box-up in a sturdy guitar box & courier to you for £625 with payment by bank transfer or PayPal 'gift'.[/color][/font][/size]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=5][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Only selling due to 'upgrading' to a pre-Ernie Ball model, so no trades please as Mrs TimAl is on the warpath . . .[/font][/size][/font][/color]

Wow, them's some cracking photography chops there...

Sorry andydye, it doesn't come with a hard case I'm afraid.

Nice looking bass, and a fair price!

How does it compare to the pre-EB?

[JazzBassfreak]

I keep trying to avoid this thread because my wallet is trying to jump out of my pocket. Honestly wish could come to some sort of trade arrangement! Still a bargain price for a thunderous bass...

[Kev]

If my Warwick goes this may just be the ticket, but otherwise best of luck with the sale!

[TimAl]

Thanks again guys.

Also thanks for all the offers & trades, ranging from £300 to a kidney & partial 'use' of a girlfriend . . .

Oh blimey - it's so subjective isn't it - but to my ears the pre-EB is more 'natural' & slightly 'warmer'. The EBMM has more mids & is more 'aggressive' but then again my pre-EB has a maple neck so it's not really like-for-like. I'm quite shallow so the look of a maple neck plus the 'history' & heritage factor were a big player for me - but really there's very very little in it, although the pre-EB weighs a ton, if not more . . .

[CH161]

That's a good answer. I have a Pre EB with Maple neck. Yours looks very nice indeed and priced very keenly. Made me wonder if the difference was such a big thing.

[FunkyFresh]

Haha, respect you weren't tempted by that "girlfriend offer"... Got any pics? GLWTS, a beautiful Ray it is!

[Mikkel-S]

PM!

[TimAl]

All PMs replied to

Plus on my rather ancient bathroom scales it comes in at exactly 4kg - which Google tells me is 8.8lbs.

Unfortunately I will not post overseas myself due to the cost of insurance plus my reticence at using couriers for such fragile items alongside potential customs issues - HOWEVER, if you wish to arrange your own courier I will happily bubble-wrap & securely box-up in a sturdy guitar box.

[TimAl]

Thanks CH161.

It was tempting FunkyFresh - but unfortunately Mrs TimAl's only just arrived in a trade for an old Rockbass . . .

[Paulhauser]

Hey, this should have been already sold weeks ago :-) on this price (and with these pics)
Good thing that A., I am set with my Spectors and B., I need 5 strings. (C should be that I made a promise never buy another black bass, I just had tooo many)
Have a free bump and good luck with the sale. Someone will be a happy player soon.

[Marcus]

Man if I was still in a RHCP tribute band !!

[sbrag]

How is this still for sale at this price? Absolute bargain. Glwts

[JazzBassfreak]

How is this still here?! If my Z3 sells in the next few days this is mine!

[TimAl]

SOLD!

Thanks for all your interest but it's just been collected by a nice chap from London - it sold on another site for £600 cash, although it was up for more on there than here - as I know you fellas like to keep a handle on sale prices . . . 😃
