funkle Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) NOW SOLD. Hi all Not playing this much, so I need to move it along; it's too gorgeous an instrument to keep in its case, and I have an eye on an amplifier. Studio use only. Up for sale is my[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] wonderful (and rare) 20th Anniversary Music Man Stingray 5 HH in excellent condition. What makes it more special than your usual Stingray is the California S[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]unset finish (available only on these models), burst flamed maple top with binding stripe around the body, and the double alnico humbucker configuration. The shape of the body differs from the the Standard Stingray 5 - longer upper horn, with improved balance - and a sleeker neck. Also different to the usual Stingray is the addition under the pickups of a mahogany tone block that improves the tone. Sterling Ball is on the record at the Ernie Ball forums stating that these models are the finest that he felt they had produced (of the Stingray 5s). I think there were 2000 made in total, in varying pickup combinations. [/font][/color] Weight 4.6kg (10.1 lbs). If you're interested in this bass and how it sounds, Ed Friedland did a great review of this model, with this pickup configuration, on Youtube - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ULm6_Y-fU."]https://www.youtube....?v=97ULm6_Y-fU.[/url] There are reviews of similar models (the HS version) at [url="http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/music-man-20th-anniversary-stingray-5-string-114765"]http://www.musicrada...5-string-114765[/url] and [url="http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/jan08/articles/MusicMan.htm"]http://www.performin...es/MusicMan.htm[/url] Price is [s]£1400[/s] [b]£1350[/b], including shipping in the UK. Get in touch if you would like to negotiate a price. I am willing to ship anywhere, but you'll need to get in touch with me for a quote. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I will ship it in the original (collector's) hard case.[/font][/color] No trades, thanks kindly.
