I[/size][/font][/color][color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]'m an artist for a particular brand so can't use this 'visibly' hence the sale to fund improvements elsewhere in my rig.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]If you want a GORGEOUS bass (pics below) with a midrange punch and huge range of tonal possibilities this is for you. This is one of the most sought after basses made by Ernie Ball and they come in various configurations - this has the double humbuckers and (in my opinion) the most beautiful finish of them all.

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Preferred payment method is cash on collection (I'm new here so you don't know me but - likewise - I don't know you). Hope that's reasonable.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Official info quoted from the Ernie Ball site: Exclusive to this anniversary instrument, a pre-amp was specially designed to accentuate the low-end frequencies while gaining additional clarity, sustain and response. Paying tribute to the earliest Sting Ray 5 models, the instrument's pickups come equipped with the ever-popular Alnico magnets. Further improvements include an inlayed mahogany Tone Block centered underneath the sweet spot of the pickups and a five-bolt neck attachment providing smoother access to higher frets. This anniversary edition bass guitar features an Ash body with a flame maple top in an exclusive custom California Sunset finish.Music Man is recognised as the benchmark of modern bass guitar design and manufacturing since introducing the Stingray bass in 1976. Music Man was founded in 1972, and acquired in 1984 by Ernie Ball Inc. The company has since developed many groundbreaking guitars and basses. [/size][/font][/color]
