It had every feature I want a stingray to have, played superbly (even with sh*t strings upon collection) and was a decent weight, mutes (like the 94 and classic) 3eq like the 08 and contoured. I wish I’d had the money at the right time but I sell stingrays because no matter how I love the sound and feel, the pickup pole pieces and my playing position don’t mix. Worth every penny of a grand - if you want a stingray with all the best bits. Anything less is a steal - someone I helped got an absolute steal originally and anything to do with better strings and a case and Pickguard options it’s real steal. I know Tonci paid what he’s asking or thereabouts, so fair play to him. Rest assured - this is an EBMM “greatest hits” bass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper for MM to ship parts to japan for basses to be made For domestic Japanese market. think Sadowsky Metro, Fender Japan etc. genuine MM.

I’m led to believe it goes as follows... An ebayer had it for a number of years and by all accounts was skint. He listed it as collection only in Salford about 4 miles from me. The Greek asked me if I could collect it - it eventually owed him the best part of £600 when I got it to him and we’d done all the shipping lark. He loved it, and then his old blue/green kingbass came up for sale and sold it to put in the pot to buy that back... he naturally gave me first refusal and at that moment in time I didn’t have the money - I’ve since sold gear and have bought something more suited to me (as I’ve said I’ve got a potted history with stingray pickups and my fingertips...) at the point where I had the funds - Tonci had already bought it anyhow and the Status I’ve bought will more than do me. Tonci could need the money, might have bought it to try a stingray and doesn’t like the sound, might have a similar issue to me with pole pieces...I don’t know, that’s his shout. Not really my business - but I can at least give the explanation for 2 recent sellers. It is a great bass - I’ve nothing to gain from saying this, just a helpful nod to anyone considering it from someone who sold musicman basses up until 4 years ago and has sold a lot of them.
