This is a beautiful bass I had built around a 1977 one-piece maple neck. Former Sei Bass luthier Chris McIntyre who is now based in Scotland built the ash body as a replica of a friend's 1980 Stingray. I requested the front contour, but the rear of the body is still a slab design, like the originals.

Everything on the neck is original, but Chris added a new truss rod nut for ease of adjustment.

The finish is a custom colour, forest green. Not turquoise like it may seem in a couple of photos, and the condition is amazing, albeit for the light buckle/clothing rash on the rear.

John East MMSR 2-band active preamp.

Nordstrand MM4.2 dual-coil pickup, which faithfully reproduces the classic early Stingray tone.

Hipshot bridge - also often used on Nordy bass guitars.

1977 neck plate and battery cover on rear.

Pre-EB pickguard.

Its weight is 4kg, which is relatively light for a Stingray, and it balances well.

No trades thanks. I'll include a black padded MonoStrap in with the sale. Postage costs I'll keep as low as possible.

Hi the neck is very straight and the bridge saddles are set to give a medium action for me. I do like to dig in without any notes 'choking' so I had it raised slightly higher than the way Chris McIntyre set it up, so I do know the neck is suitable for a low action. I hope that helps?
