obbm Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Musicman Stingray 5 with Status neck. - £1200 This was my everyday go to bass however as I no longer gig seriously, and haven’t used it in a while, I have reluctantly decided that it must go. The core instrument is a 2003 Pacific Blue Burst Stingray 5 which was fitted with a Status Carbon Fibre neck by Rob Green in early 2005. The neck has subtle blue side LEDs and a separate battery box was fitted to power them. Pick-up is a Nordstrand 3-coil with 3-way switching. The original MM pick-up is also included. Pre-amp is the regular Stingray 5. Currently strung with a new set of Sadowsky Blue Label. Schaller Strap-locks. Complete with a Hiscox case. Weight is 10lb 4oz. Collection or meet preferred. Do not want to ship. Also I am not looking for trades of any description. Edited October 19, 2016 by obbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I had a Status necked Ray 5 at one stage. The neck really made a difference in tonal clarity and snap, very nice.... cannot beat a nice bit of graphite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Love this bass remember seeing it when you first brought it to a bash. The graphite neck is a seriously good upgrade for the stingray. Love the colour, too. Do you still have a bass for noodling Dave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes I have several others. Actually Chris I'm having second thoughts about selling this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Good. I think you should keep it. There are a small number of basses on the forum that I recognise as being associated with some of our oldest (serving!) members. This is definitely yours. Whatever you decide to do, good luck. I put one of those necks on an OLP Ray and it was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
